FAQ: The most important visitor questions & answers about the 2025 Formula E race in Berlin-Tempelhof

As every season, Formula E returns to Berlin for the eleventh year of the electric racing series. Once again, thousands of fans are expected to watch the two races on Saturday and Sunday (12/13 July 2025) either from one of the grandstands or from the Fan Village. As always, we have compiled the most important questions and answers for you ahead of the Berlin E-Prix.

The track has been adjusted slightly in some places, but this will not affect the spectators. As in 2024, the entrance to the event site is from the south, i.e. from Tempelhofer Feld. Last-minute visitors can still purchase tickets spontaneously at the box office.

Even without a grandstand ticket, the race can be followed on the big screens in the Fan Village. There are also selected areas along the track from which you can take a look at the race action. A special highlight this year: the track will be open to fans for the first time for the podium ceremony. However, admission to the Fan Village has become more expensive this year and now costs 21 euros.

Formula E aims to offer the "best entertainment for the whole family". On the "Fan Zone" stage, visitors can expect a varied programme with driver interviews, Q&A sessions on various topics (e.g. "careers in motorsport"), meet & greets, competitions and live music. However, there will not be a major music act this year.

In the "Sport Zone", table tennis, basketball hoops and a climbing wall invite you to join in. Younger guests are also catered for: several "Kids Areas" offer fun and games, while parents can relax and enjoy a coffee from the coffee bike. There will also be various food and drink stands again.

In the "Gaming Arena", fans can compete against each other on professional racing simulators and win prizes. Formula E teams and partners will also have their own stands. Particularly exciting for technology fans and young motorsport enthusiasts: Formula Student teams will also be on site to present their self-built racing cars.
