This time it is not a nostalgic review of old recordings of Formula One races on YouTube, but an announcement of the first season of Formula E, in which three surnames of legendary racers of the highest class of petrol racing appear. Nelson Piquet Jr., Bruno Senna and Nicolas Prost have made sure that many petrol purists, who are otherwise blowing their noses at the concept of electric race cars, will watch at least the first race, which will take place tomorrow, in order to see three big surnames of the eighties and nineties of Formula One, at the same time racing on the same track in the same race cars, albeit without the loud roar of gasoline powertrains.

Just a few weeks until the electrical revolution

formula 1

Motorsport will experience a renaissance next month, as with the race in Beijing, the "green" racing series - Formula E - enters the scene. The race calendar currently includes ten events, and the idea of the electric car championship has its roots in 2012. The FIA starts in September and ends in June next year, and despite the different roar of the propulsion engines, the birth of the new championship is accompanied by enthusiasm and interest, as motorsport turns in the direction of a new era - electric motoring. Motorsport has always served as a kind of platform for the development of technologies that then found their way onto the roads in the hands of ordinary mortals. It was with this purpose that Formula E was created. Not even the Formula One team turned its back on modern sports, as it is in
