Formula E's stepped up its game as it switches to pay TV

The Greenpower Education Trust has been around since 1999, helping to inspire young engineers, and part of its annual programme is a race at Goodwood for electric cars.

Greenpower will be working with Formula E on the new series’ support races. It’s an obvious tie-in but a nonetheless important one; motor sport’s turning green, but there’s still plenty of debate about whether all that technology can really make a difference on the road car market. The limitations of current electric cars raise a lot of questions, but with promising engineering talent being exposed to the racing environment – and encouraged to participate – strides could well be made in the near future. After all, competition improves the breed.
This year’s International Final at Goodwood takes place on October 12.
