Only just seen this. A new motor racing series is going to kick off in September featuring all electric powered cars that resemble F1 and indy cars and have 270bhp max power while weighing max 888kg. Looks quite interesting although I guess the downside is the low noise, something which people didn't like the change of in F1. When watching motor sports one of main spectacles is the noise and roar you get from the engines!

Anyway the grid looks pretty decent with some ex F1 drivers such as Sebastien Buemi and Lucas di Grassi as well as relatives of F1 greats, Bruno Senna (Sennas nephew) and Nicolas Prost (son of Alain Prost)

•Acceleration: 0 - 100 km/h (0-62mph) in 3 secs
•Maximum speed: 225 km/h (FIA limited)

edit: Range: 25 minutes - Charging time: 90 minutes - hmm how will this work? 'Races will begin by standing start and last for approximately one hour with drivers making a mandatory pit stop in order to change cars.'
