The first Formula E season will finish with two dates in London
The route for the London race of the first Formula E season has been announced.
The world's first fully electric motor racing series will finish in London with two rounds held on 27 and 28 June.
A specially created 15 turn, 3km circuit will be created to run through Battersea Park in south London.
British racing driver Sam Bird said the track had "fast straights, high-speed bends, as well as some challenging chicanes and braking zones."
Bird, who competes for the UK-based Virgin Racing team, added: "The track is in the beautiful Battersea Park, right next to the River Thames, just across from Chelsea and with some of the most famous features of London's skyline in the background.
"I think the London ePrix spectators will be treated to some close, fast racing with plenty of action and overtaking."
