Putrajaya Street Circuit was a street circuit which was first used on 22 November 2014[1] during the second ePrix of Formula E. The start-and-finish straight ran on one of the major highways – Persiaran Perdana, or Putrajaya Boulevard – and just north of the circuit is the Perdana Putra housing the Prime Minister's Office. The track was 2.560 km (1.591 mi) in length and featured 12 turns. It was designed by British architect Simon Gibbons, who brought experience of nine years with FOM as circuit planning manager and more recently played a significant role in the rowing and canoeing venue for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.[2][3]
