Having previously hosted numerous pre-season tests, this was the inaugural running of a competitive Formula E event at the track, as well as the first time an ePrix was held in Spain.

The first race was won by Nyck de Vries,[1] with Nico Müller and Stoffel Vandoorne rounding out the podium.

Jake Dennis took his first Formula E victory in the second race,[2] finishing ahead of André Lotterer and Alex Lynn.

[24] His comments were blasted by da Costa, one of the drivers disqualified for energy use, who stated that Formula E would become the "joke of the week" following that finish.

[25] Despite this the FIA stood by its energy management rules and race winner Nyck de Vries said that Formula E is "not necessarily" at fault.
