Puebla will replace Mexico City in the 2021 Formula E calendar, the organization reported on Thursday, which also announced the cancellation of the Marrakech and Santiago de Chile races due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

New York, London, and Berlin will host two “ePrix” each to complete a seventh 15-race season – the largest yet for the electric series – spanning eight cities on three continents.

The season opened with a partial schedule that began with two races in Saudi Arabia and continued with two in Rome. Valencia hosts two more this weekend, followed by Monaco in May.

The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City had been the headquarters of Formula E in the country, but the facilities are being used as a field hospital due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The test in Marrakech, in Morocco, was scheduled for May 22, and Santiago was to host a double appointment on June 5 and 6, according to the original calendar.
