MONACO. 30 March 2022 – Formula E, the FIA and the Automobile Club de Monaco (ACM) today revealed the track layout for the 2022 Monaco E-Prix, Round 6 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
The 19-turn, 3.337 km track will see the all-electric cars climb the hill at Sainte Dévote and travel through the iconic Place du Casino, Mirabeau, Grand Hotel Hairpin and Portier sector.
DS TECHEETAH’s Antonio Felix Da Costa claimed victory last season in one of the most exciting races in the history of Formula E with an audacious overtake at the exit of the tunnel on the final lap of the race.
The 2021 edition marked the inaugural outing on the full Circuit de Monaco for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. A race that recorded 28 overtakes between the top six runners alone. The 2021 track incorporated a modified chicane at the T11, which will disappear this year to make way for the traditional track when it comes to the best of motorsport.
This change of layout to align with the highest standards of motorsport shows once again how Formula E continues to progress.
Frederic Espinos, Sporting Director, Formula E: “The 2021 Monaco E-Prix remains one of the finest races in Formula E history with an unprecedented number of overtakes. Our drivers love driving in street circuits which is why Monaco, one of the most iconic circuits in the world that all drivers know inside out, is particularly suitable to showcase the unique style of Formula E motorsport. We can’t wait to see the 2022 race and the drama that will unfold on the streets of Monaco.”
Javier Maffioli, Formula E Head of Event Operations at the FIA: ”Using the full Monaco track layout successfully last year was a major step forward for the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. This year, we are taking the final step, removing the minor modifications that were made for Formula E, so that we can to see our drivers and cars performing on the historical layout. This is another major achievement for our discipline and we look forward to another exciting race on the streets of Monaco.”
Christian Tornatore, General Commissioner, ACM: ” I hope that on the occasion of this 5th Monaco E-Prix, television viewers and spectators will be able to attend a race just as competitive as last year’s, which to this day remains and will remain in the annals of international motorsport.”
With almost a month to go before the start of the “circuit events”, the entire Corps of Marshals is mobilising this weekend for the traditional Training Camp. Between learning the right gestures for the newcomers and general revisions for the more experienced, the 650 volunteers present are preparing with rigour and professionalism for the three upcoming events (Monaco E-Prix – 30 April / Grand Prix de Monaco Historique – 13-15 May / Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco – 26-29 May).
Founded 50 years ago by the will of the President of the Automobile Club de Monaco, Me Michel Boéri, the Marshals Training Course, offers to all the teams about 10 workshops (First Aid / Pre-video / Intervention / Post-video / Rail + Cric workshop / Electrical Risks / “Gazelle” timed course / Flags and signaling circuit / Fire).
A warm and studious atmosphere reigned under the mild spring sunshine offered for the occasion by the Principality of Monaco. Familiarising oneself with the new procedures and reworking what has been learned were the watchwords of the weekend. Founded 50 years ago by the President of the Automobile Club de Monaco, Me Michel Boéri, the Marshals Training Camp offers all the teams a couple of several workshops (First Aid / Pre-video / Intervention / Post-video / Rail + Jack Workshop / Electrical Risks / “Gazelle” timed course / Flags and signaling circuit / Fire).
The objective is to test the reflexes, physical and reasoning skills of each candidate. Accustomed each year to the famous fire intervention and extraction of the driver, the Commissaires were able to rework the right gestures to gain in efficiency and control, with the precious and efficient advice of the Monaco Fire Brigade.
This spectacular workshop, which has been part of the course programme for the past 15 years, underlines the importance of working on fire control and driver evacuation procedures in a very short time. In May, our Commissaires will in particular be subjected to the control of fire resulting from methanol, a fuel present in the petrol of certain Historic Grand Prix cars and invisible to the naked eye. The use of specific extinguishers is therefore required.
What’s new in 2022?
The Marshals have been given theoretical and practical training on the electrical risks involved with single-seaters in Formula 1 and Formula E. In order to get as close as possible to the conditions they will be confronted with during the race, LED lights have been installed on one of the test cars. The aim here is to reproduce the colour system (green/red/blue) used on the single-seaters, which informs the intervention personnel about the danger or otherwise of the electrical risk in the event of a problem.
Another novelty this year: the installation of a new plate, with the aim of simulating as well as possible an extraction of the car on track by the flat bottom.
Finally, it should be noted that the entire course is now computerised by a team of developers from the Corps of Marshals, in order to have a complete overview of each workshop (accounting and assessment of the volunteers on each post).
Handling the flags
On Sunday, the last highlight of the weekend was the flag handling under the Chapiteau de Fontvieille. In this workshop, different race scenarios are studied in order to work specifically on the application of the rules of signalling on the track. rules on the track.
In figures
In 2022, the Automobile Club de Monaco’s Corps of Marshals will mobilise nearly 650 people on each of the three circuit events. Among them, there will be 72 new candidates, 52 technical stewards and nearly a hundred people in charge of the management.
See you on April 12 for the General Meeting organised at the Espace Léo Ferré, then on the weekend of April 23 & 24 for the handover of equipment, one week before the 5th Monaco E-Prix (April 30).

Since February 25th, the Principality’s nights have been punctuated by the repair of the asphalt on the roads used by the Monaco Circuit.
In 2022, many sectors are concerned : Pitlane, Avenue d’Ostende, Boulevard Albert 1er, Avenue des Spélugues, Tunnel Louis II, Darse Nord / Route de la Piscine, Rascasse and Antony Noghès Corners.
In total, almost 2/3 of the circuit will be equipped with new asphalt. In figures, this represents more than 2754 tonnes of asphalt laid.
The objective is to give a new tarmac to the streets and the track, to offer a surface in line with international standards, with the particular challenge to use roads exposed to the Principality’s traffic all year round.
At least 2 nights are necessary per sector. Carried out by teams from the Direction de l’Urbanisme and SIVIA’M, the work is divided into 2 phases: planning of the upper part of the asphalt, and application of the new asphalt the following night.
This work is necessary in order to be in time for the Spring events (Monaco E-Prix, Grand Prix de Monaco Historique, F1 Grand Prix de Monaco). End of the work scheduled for March 16th.
Let’s have a look on the pictures of the asphalt repair work on the Monaco Circuit.

Jaguar Racing posted the best two times of Free Practice 1, early morning on the Monaco track, with Sam Bird clocking a 1 :32.220 and Mitch Evans a 1 :32.253, only 33/1000 of a second behind his team-mate. On the full F1 layout (3.3 km), used for the first time this weekend in Formula E, all drivers enjoyed a 35-minute session since 10 minutes were lost because of a mechanical issue for Sergio Sette Camara (Dragon) who stopped at La Rascasse.
Mechanical issue for Sergio Sette Camara (Dragon)
The provisional Top 6 was completed by Robin Frijns (Virgin) in 3rd place, reigning champion Antonio Felix da Costa (DS Techeetah) in 4th and Pascal Wehrlein (Porsche) in 5th, ahead of World Championship leader Nyck de Vries (Mercedes EQ) in 6th place. A very promising result for five of the best current Formula E teams
In order to show how tough this day at the races will be, 15 drivers were grouped in one second in this very first session, the next one being scheduled for 10 :15 for 30 minutes only. Qualifying will start at noon, with 4 groups of 6 cars, and culminate with the Super Pole session, for the Top 6 drivers.
Free Practice 2 started, as scheduled, at 10 :15, for 30 minutes only, and finished with a similar result to FP1 : two Jaguars ahead, with only one change, Mitch Evans going faster than Sam Bird.
We had to wait for the last six minutes of this session until Max Günther (BMW) improved Bird’s time in FP1 : 1:32.105 thanks to a very useful power supplement (250 kW instead of 200) available, in order to prepare the mid-day qualification session. At that time, the German driver was ahead of his team-mate Jake Dennis, a rookie in FE this season but already a winner, at the end of Race 2 in Valencia last month.
However, on the complete 3.3km F1 track used for the first time this weekend by FE single-seaters, the perspective of a potential 1-2 for the BMW Andretti Team was first ruined by DS Techeetah, when Antonio Félix da Costa, the defending champion, clocking a very impressive 1:31.359. This was until Evans, the fastest Kiwi in the electric world, ended up with a 1:31.118 under the chequered flag marking the session end, ahead of team-mate Bird, only 185/1000th back. This was a good way to convince all potential spectators, around the track and on the internet, that they cannot afford to miss the qualification sessions, starting at noon : 4 groups of six cars, then Super Pole for the Top 6 drivers. Game on !
