Track Info
Tokyo Street Circuit - Ariake, Kōtō, Tokyo, Japan
Waterfront Formula E street track around Tokyo Big Sight - anti-clockwise - 2.582 km with 18 turns, three notable straights and technical 90-degree linkers
When was the track built?
This is a temporary street circuit mapped through the Tokyo Big Sight exhibition district on the Ariake waterfront. The layout was unveiled in October 2023 and created for Formula E’s first-ever Tokyo event.
For 2025, organisers refined the course: Turn 1, 4 and 6 were widened, apex tweaks were made at Turns 6 and 8, the Turn 2–3 bump was smoothed and the late-lap chicane was removed - keeping the challenge but improving flow.
When was its first race?
The venue’s first race was the Tokyo E-Prix on 30 March 2024, won by Maximilian Günther for Maserati MSG Racing. The event became a double-header from May 2025.
What's the circuit like?
- Street-circuit DNA: Tight 90s and short blasts link three straights - classic Formula E architecture that rewards rotation, traction and energy efficiency.
- Ariake waterfront vibe: The lap wraps the Big Sight campus with Tokyo Gate Bridge as a backdrop - a unique fan precinct minutes from central Tokyo.
- Attack Mode at Turn 4: Strategy hinges on timing the off-line activation without losing track position.
- Benchmark pace: Race-lap record 1:14.753 (2025) underscores the step from the 2024 debut’s 1:19 bracket as the surface and layout evolved.
Lap records and benchmarks (Formula E - Gen3)
- Race lap - Season 11 (2025): 1:14.753 - Sam Bird, NEOM McLaren, lap 25.
- Winner - Season 11 R8 (2025): Oliver Rowland, Nissan, after 32 laps.
- Pole - Season 10 (2024): 1:19.023 - Oliver Rowland, Nissan.
- Fastest lap - Season 10 (2024): 1:19.731 - Sam Bird (point awarded to Maximilian Günther under FE rules).
Note - 2024’s debut ran a 20-turn iteration; 2025 reverted to the 18-turn, 2.58 km configuration with surface and corner revisions.
Why go?
It’s big-city e-racing with a festival feel. You get regeneration strategy, tight-pack slipstreaming and banzai dives into the 90-degree complexes - all set against the Tokyo Bay skyline with easy access to food, rail links and sightseeing.
Where's the best place to watch?
- Main straight - T1/T2: Starts, restarts and heavy braking decide early track position, with Attack Mode strategy unfolding just beyond.
- Mid-lap complexes: The linked 90s showcase who can rotate and fire off the corner without wasting energy.
- Final sector by the water: Great photo ops and last-lap moves after the 2025 flow updates.
