E-RACING TAKES TO THE STREETS

The FIA's new racing formula, FORMULA-E, for electric-powered single seaters is under way, but you'd be hard-pressed to notice it.

The first round was held in Beijing in September, and after a bit of 'Off-again, On again' the street race in Hong Kong is now confirmed for November 8, 2014. The circuit will be called the Victoria Circuit and will be in Central, on Hong Kong Island.



The next round will be in Malaysia on November 22. Quite a few cities have signed up for an event, including Miami and London. There's even a round scheduled for Monaco next year!


With all the complaints around Formula One right now about how quiet the current turbo-petrol engines are, then the E-Races are going to be a very hush-hush affair.
