New Delhi: In a latest update with regards to the Formula E Race In Hyderabad, it is being learnt that FIA President Mohammad Bin Sulayem has been invited for the race scheduled on February 11.

It is pertinent to note that Ace Nxt Gen Formula E and Government of Telangana are in a partnership for four years which meansthat the championship will be organised in India until 2026.
