Situated over 2,200 metres above sea level, the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez tests person and machine alike. Discover the demands posed by the circuit and how to execute the perfect lap in our Mexico City E-Prix track guide.
Confidence in the cockpit is crucial to deliver a prime performance and a lap commences at full throttle as drivers accelerate down the start/finish straight on the approach to Turn One.
Marking one of the biggest challenges of the lap, this right-hander has a bite and drivers must take the corner on the limit with pinpoint accuracy with the slightest overstep leading to a trip to the barriers.
The constant-radius flat right-hander of Turn Two lies immediately on exit and leads to Turn Three – the first left corner of the lap as the track begins to tighten.
An aggressive kink marks Turn Four while Turns Five and Six connect to create a double-apex 180-degree right-hander and a key overtaking opportunity every lap.
After navigating the circuit’s tightest challenge, drivers then accelerate down a long back straight, taking the kinks of Turns Seven and Eight flat out before reaching terminal velocity.
Turn Nine is another crucial overtaking opportunity as drivers brake hard for the right-hander which then opens into the most technical and atmospheric part of the lap.
The Foro Sol baseball stadium is the heart of the circuit as fans cheer on their favourite drivers with a fierce passion that few venues on the Formula E calendar can match.
This section features four low-speed corners – three to the left and one to the right – and is also the home of the circuit’s Attack Mode activation point between Turns 11 and 12.
Drivers exit the Foro Sol through Turn 14, with Turn 15 marking the final braking point of the lap.
Turn 16 is the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez’s final challenge, the Peraltada – a flat out high-speed right-hander that tests every driver’s bravery.
This fearless and uncompromising run to the line completes a lap in Mexico City.
