Formula E
For the fourth running of the E-Prix, Monaco will see Formula E cars race around the casino and through the tunnel for the first time.
The 2021 E-Prix circuit will nearly double the distance the Gen2 cars will have to cover each lap, going from the 1.76km shortened version to a 3.32km tour around the Principality.
The layout, while visiting all the locations the F1 track does, will not be identical to it. The first corner, Sainte Devote, will be set up as it was in the initial track design first run in 1929, while the chicane after the tunnel will also have a slightly different arrangement.

DUBAI: Jerry Bailey felt like he had struck Olympic gold when he won the inaugural Dubai World Cup on Cigar.
The American horse had been wooed to compete in the new race as Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, ruler of Dubai and vice president of the UAE, attracted talent befitting what was then the world’s richest race at $4 million.
Cigar, with Hall of Fame jockey Bailey on board, did not disappoint as he thrilled the hordes gathered at Nad Al-Sheba with a historic victory for owner Allen Paulson and trainer Bill Mott.
