Formula E is the world’s sole all-electric single-seater FIA World Championship and provides an elite motorsports platform for automotive manufacturers to accelerate EV innovation while delivering races in the heart of some of the world’s most iconic cities. Nissan lead one of the world’s most successful Formula E teams. They have 28 billion road kilometres of EV customer data combined with some of the most advanced automotive innovation in the world.

…If you have been to Manchester, and stood in Spinningfields or near the Beetham Tower in a storm, you will know that on our own planet…. We can conclusively beat this wind speed….
The winds on this alien planet are blisteringly fast 🌬️ WASP-127b, a puffball planet 500 lightyears from Earth, has circulating winds of 33,000 km/h, or nearly 30 times the speed of sound on Earth. That's the fastest planetary winds we know of.
