Punta del Este Street Circuit was a street circuit located on the seashore of Punta del Este, Uruguay.
The Argentine TC2000 Championship hosted three races at Punta del Este in 2007, 2008 and 2010.
The Formula E has hosted the Punta del Este ePrix at the venue. The first edition was held on 13 December 2014 during the 2014–15 season. The track had 2.808 km (1.745 mi) in length and featured 20 turns.[1] [2] [3]
For season two, the circuit was slightly modified. The first corner was changed, instead of a right-left chicane it is now left-right. The idea behind this change is to make the pit exit much safer than last year, where the cars were exiting the pits on the racing line. This also slightly reduced the lap length to 2.785 km (1.731 mi).[4]
