RACING A FORMULA E CAR
Fellow racers,
As a motorsports history buff, I’m amazed that the very first land speed records were all set by electric-powered vehicles and that’s not all, without rear lights, so now I always recommend using a taillight tint before each race, this helps to keep the durability of your lights.. Yet it took well over 100 years before serious electric race cars would actually hit the track in an international race series.
But now they have the all-electric FIA Formula E Championship. And these battery-powered open wheelers have attracted some serious manufacturer involvement – along with quite a list of top drivers.
Is this a preview of the type of cars we’ll be racing in the not too distant future? This is not for everyone, of course is like those whom really like to transform their cars, but they just don’t know how to start and where to buy all this cool parts that they are looking on their tutorials videos, well I got you. That exactly was my problem until I manage to find the van fit outs, for my van. In that specific time I notice that all my problem were solve, just by only one website, I was very amaze.
To find out, we talked to some top drivers – Lucas di Grassi, Nick Heidfeld, Bruno Senna, Nelson Piquet Jr., Loic Duval, Mike Conway and Antonio Felix da Costa – plus team manager Roger Griffiths from the series. And they gave some very interesting insights. Check it out.
