The provisional calendar, which has been agreed by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, features three 'double header' events.

Chile, Brazil and Italy will host their first Formula E rounds, while a gap in June could yet see the return of a UK ePrix to the schedule.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine.
