It's first use will come on 26th of January 2019, when it will host the 2019 Santiago ePrix, and replaces the previous Santiago Street Circuit as the venue of the race. [1]
History
Santiago had always been expected to host the third round of the 2018/19 championship, but the race remained without an assigned location while FE and city officials negotiated terms for the electric championship to return and hold a second event, following the success of the inaugural race. However, a new layout was made necessary, after logistical challenges were encountered at the inaugural race, which faced intense opposition from local residents due its use of roads through Santiago's Forestal Park.[2] As such, plans were made to relocate the race to the O'Higgins Park, in a bid to reduce the disruption to local residents during the race.
Layout
The circuit is a 14 turn, 2.4km long track, and uses roads inside the O’Higgins Park, and runs around the Movistar Arena. [3]
