Formula E's next season starts in December, and the sport is quietly borrowing a page from Formula 1 in a way teams, sponsors, and investors will feel right away. The FIA released a schedule that includes three new race locations: the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, the Brands Hatch circuit in Kent, and the Zandvoort circuit in Amsterdam.
