FIA Formula E First Race in Long Beach, CA.
The first day of the FIA Formula E series started yesterday and we had a great time getting to know everyone there. We secured a few interviews with team owners, CEOs and drivers. It was an interesting day as everyone felt the importance of this first race and the pioneering feeling behind it. Check back again next week as we will compile our notes, pictures and videos.
FIA Formula E Brings the Rimac Concept One
As an electric vehicle (EV) writer, there are EVs and then, there are EVs. Two almost mystical cars I’ve been following since day one are the Lightning GT and the Rimac. Chance was that Rimac brought their amazing Concept One, a 1,088 HP electric Supercar that boasts a 325 Km/h top speed and a 0 to 60 MPH in 2.8 seconds. Some cars look even better up close and the Concept One didn’t fail to to glue us to it for hours. The supercar truly is a super car and we got up close, meeting its owner and the Rimac team. Can you say object of deep desire?
