A row of ingenious inflatable tents provides the service park and garages while more conventional temporary structures have popped up to create catering, operations and media centres.Īt the top of a nearby hill, infinitely more palatial and luxurious canvas tents have formed an oasis for the VIPs and sponsors. Just a few weeks prior, this was an expanse of shell-scarred heathland used for tank battalion target practice, but today it has been transformed into a tiny motorsport village.
The extreme race spain series#
This awkward paradox was sitting uncomfortably with Spanish entrepreneur and Formula E founder Alejandro Agag who picked up the phone to former racer Gil de Ferran and hatched an extraordinary solution – Extreme E a revolutionary racing series that has categorically shattered the traditional motorsport model as we know it.
At worst it’s hypocritical at best it’s simply inconsistent.Įither way, petrol power in motorsport is damaging the message that battery is best. And yet, when the weekend rolls around, race tracks are a cacophony of combustion. Most car manufacturers are transitioning into majority (if not exclusively) purveyors of EVs, claiming that the brightest future is electric. But the conversion becomes a little more challenging if you don’t have access to one of the world’s fastest EVs and a private race track – and it’s made harder still by motorsport. Chuck them the keys to a Rimac, point them at the nearest circuit and you can be certain they’ll be flying the zero-emissions flag for the rest of their days. Convincing someone that electric vehicles are exciting is not hard.
