MOSCOW, June 4. /TASS/. Russian organizers did an outstanding job constructing a track in downtown of the Russian capital to host the race of the inaugural FIA Formula E world championship, Alejandro Agag, the director general of F-E, said on Thursday.
"I was here for the press conference two weeks ago and it was just the beginning of the construction work," Agag said addressing a news conference in Moscow on Thursday.
"I am very impressed with the fantastic job done by our Russian partners in a short period of time," he added.
Formula E is a new FIA single-seater championship and the world's first fully-electric racing series. The very first out of the total of 10 races of the inaugural 2014/2015 season was held on September 13, 2014 in China’s Beijing.
