After it became clear that the Moscow ePrix would not take place as planned on June 4, Formula E started discussions with the Principality of Monaco to hold a last-minute substitute race.

The planned Monaco ePrix needed the blessing of Prince Albert of Monaco and the Automobile Club de Monaco.

But despite the best efforts of all parties, the race will not be taking place due to time constraints on clearing the infrastructure of the track in time for the Longines Global Champions Show Jumping event, also held in June.

A large section of the pit area and its surroundings have to be transformed into a course and paddock area for the Show Jumping event, and the turnaround for transforming it is believed to be too tight to accommodate the mooted Formula E event.

Monaco was believed to be the only serious last-minute replacement option for Moscow.

Therefore, Formula E is expected to confirm by the end of the week that the Berlin and London rounds will be the final two events of season two.
