Huge drama, high speed, a weekend of excess in every regard. Motor racing is probably not uppermost in the minds of sports fans when it comes to being low-impact in any way at all, but that’s where Formula E comes in: not just trying to change perceptions and sustainability in the sport, but actively contributing to reversing the effects of both.
The all-electric series is in London this weekend, the street circuit E-Prix taking in not just the roads around the ExCel but even the tracks inside it, thanks to the no-emissions nature of the cars involved. Across the back-to-back racedays, more than 20,000 fans will pack out the arena and witness the latest electric vehicle technology being showcased in a world-class sporting environment.
