This weekend, Daniel Abt, Lucas di Grassi and company will race at the former Tempelhof airport in Berlin. With support from the local fans, Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler intends to celebrate on the podium to put itself in a good position for the final phase of the title race.
The 2.37km circuit at Tempelhof airport in the south of the city is the venue for the tenth round of the season. In 1948 and 1949, Tempelhof was the airfield for the international airlift through which the Allied Powers supplied the locked-in West Berliners with food and goods.
In Germany last year, Daniel Abt first clinched pole position, then won the race in commanding style ahead of Lucas di Grassi, setting the fastest race lap in the process. Since the inaugural season in 2014, Formula E has raced in Berlin five times, four times at Tempelhof and once at Alexanderplatz. Daniel Abt and Lucas di Grassi scored a total of five podium finishes at these events.
