• Resumen

  • The $50 million all-electric Formula E championship hopes to awaken motor-sport enthusiasts to the idea of sustainable racing. Over the next nine months, 10 teams representing big names from motor sport history such as Audi and Andretti will tear along city-center circuits from Beijing to Berlin at speeds of up to 140 kilometers per hour, without consuming a single drop of petrol. Yet racing fans have been reluctant to embrace the idea. Here, Gorder finds out how vehicle noise affects people in visceral ways that have resounding implications for electric cars.
