London's Battersea Park to stage Formula E finale

London's Battersea Park will stage the closing race in the inaugural Formula E series, the local council confirmed on Thursday.
The Formula E Championship, which began in Beijing in September, will conclude at Battersea Park with races 10 and 11 on June 27 and 28.
British architect Simon Gibbons designed the 15-turn, 2.92km (1.81 mile) circuit in the grounds of the riverside park in south-west London.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: "Formula E is set to be a superb addition to London's sporting calendar.
"The atmosphere will quite literally be electric and Battersea, which is already booming with the buzz of regeneration, will be alive with the excitement that this new, world-class event will no doubt spark."
Brazil's Lucas di Grassi leads France's Sebastien Buemi in the F1 drivers standings ahead of the next leg in Miami on March 14.
