Hyderabad: Alberto Longo, Co-founder and Chief Championship Officer, FIA Formula E, is in Hyderabad with his team to fine-tune the plans to host the race in Hyderabad. Formula E brings dramatic racing to the heart of some of the world’s most iconic cities providing an elite motorsport platform to the world’s leading automotive manufacturers to accelerate electric vehicle innovation. The Formula E network of teams, manufacturers, partners, broadcasters, and host cities are united by a passion for the sport and belief in its potential to create a better future for the people and the planet.

Longo, who earlier donned the hats of an investment advisor, partner at a law firm and co-owner and team manager, tells Telangana Today about the ecosystem in Hyderabad that fits well with its vision of supporting the EV industry.

What are the key reasons for selecting Hyderabad?

We have seen the development of Hyderabad. It is the hub of all technologies. It is the hub for sustainability activities and is also a key player in production of clean electricity. It has a total match with Formula E ideals.

What is the support from Telangana?

We are announcing Hyderabad as the official candidate city for Formula E. This is massive because it was only 29 days ago that I received a call from Dilbagh (Mahindra team) that there is an opportunity in India. I have never seen the speed in taking decisions like it happened here. That obviously has somewhat helped the group of people behind the decisions that we make. I have never seen such a speed of decisions by a Minister (referring to Industries Minister KT Rama Rao). You can clearly see the vision he has for the State. I was surprised to know that. We hope that Hyderabad will be on the calendar of Formula E soon and we can actually enjoy the race in Hyderabad soon. We are impressed with the attitude that brought us here and I am sure it will lead us to finalising the race soon.

What about the track?

The track proposed by the Telangana Government is good. We will suggest a few changes and modify it to suit the race. But I can say the location is fantastic and hopefully we will get everyone to be part of the event here.

What will be the participation?

Clearly, it is a global event and we are expecting participation from several countries. About 400 to 500 million people watch the race on TV and the spectatorship at the event depends on the city. However, it is safe to say that about 50,000 to 80,000 people will watch it at the location.
