Formula E confirms new races in China and India for 2024

Formula E today announced the addition of races in China and India to its calendar for 2024, the 10th season of the world’s first electric racing series, following approval at the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting today. Formula E will race for …

Formula E will race for the first time in Shanghai at the Shanghai International Circuit with a doubleheader of races on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26. The race on the permanent circuit follows seven previous Formula E events in China run on street courses in Sanya and Hong Kong.

Hyderabad will host Formula E again on Saturday, February 10, following the 31,000-capacity sold out debut race in February this year.

Formula E’s 10th season was already set to include a race in Tokyo on March 30, which will mark the first time a world championship race will be held on the streets of the Japanese capital.

There are two further updates to the previously announced calendar. The event planned for Jakarta on Saturday, June 8 will not go ahead following the announcement of a campaigning period in the Indonesian presidential elections during most of June. This would impact the logistics of delivering a race on the streets of the capital city at the same time. Formula E and the authorities in Jakarta are exploring the feasibility of racing in the city on an alternative date.

The second update is a likely venue change in Italy for Rounds 7 and 8. This follows a review by experts at Formula E and the FIA into this past season’s races in Rome, where the new faster, more powerful GEN3 car reached the limits of the narrow, sharp-turning circuit in Rome’s business district. Formula E is exploring alternative venues, including permanent circuits, to maintain an event in the key Italian market. An update on the venue in Italy is expected before the end of the year.

Angel Yin defeats No. 1 Lilia Vu in Shanghai playoff for first LPGA victory in 159 starts

Yin let her personality shine through in her first LPGA victory.

While in China for the Buick LPGA Masters, Angel Yin took in some tennis. During a semifinal match of the Shanghai Masters, Yin noticed how seventh-ranked Andrey Rublev “expressed himself very well on the court.”

“It wasn’t like he was just completely emotionless,” said Yin, who found herself flatlining on the golf course.

After making bogey on the sixth hole Sunday in Shanghai, Yin gave herself a pep talk walking up the next fairway.

“I was pretty emotional during Solheim,” she said, “and I did pretty good.”

The self-talk paid off as an engaged Yin took down World No. 1 Lilia Vu in a playoff for her first LPGA victory in 159 career starts at the Buick LPGA Shanghai. The two Solheim Cup teammates squared off earlier this season in a playoff at the Chevron Championship, where Vu came out on top. It’s Yin’s first professional victory since the 2017 Omega Dubai Ladies Classic on the Ladies European Tour. She went 2-1-0 in her third appearance for the U.S. Solheim Cup Team this past September.

“Today was just Angel’s day,” said Vu. “I’m happy for her.”

Yin closed with a 70 at Qizhong Garden Golf Club while Vu shot 68. The pair were knotted at 14 under 274 for the tournament, one shot ahead of five players.

The 25-year-old Yin made birdie on the first playoff hole to defeat Vu, her Solheim Cup teammate, and a three-time winner this season. Yin becomes the 12th first-time winner on the LPGA this season, a new record for the tour. She earned $315,000 for her efforts.

Throughout the round Yin, the overnight leader, kept reminding herself that it’s not easy to win on the LPGA. She also worked hard to let her personality shine through inside the ropes.

“It’s funny because we’ve been talking about this a lot for the past few years,” said Yin. “I’ve been speaking to (former Solheim captain) Juli Inkster about it. I don’t really feel much emotion on the golf course. She was like, ‘No, that’s not good. I want you to get mad again.’

“I got a lot of emotions and I think started doing again and I started playing well. That helped me a lot, to be able to be expressive and not just flat-lining on the golf course. Growing up everyone taught me to be stone-faced, no emotions, poker face. I don’t think that fits me. What’s fitting me right now is what I’m doing to express myself.”
