Extreme E marketing message
Discussion
From BBC Website: "Extreme E, set to launch in 2021, is an environment-focused racing series in which 12 teams race off-road in fully electric SUVs in five remote locations around the world to highlight the effects of climate change."
So they are using a ship burning bunker oil to transport the vehicles around, "The series will have a 'floating paddock' - the newly renovated St Helena, a former Royal Mail cargo ship - which will be used to transport championship freight to each location, and is thought to reduce carbon emissions when compared to air travel."
Is it just me or does the prospect of shipping 12 race teams to five remote locations with all the gubbins required (presumably they've got a herd of unicorns on board the boat to power the cars with their gitter farts) not seem a particulalry environmentally friendly thing to do. What about the damage they'll do ripping up the area they are racing in.
Don't get me wrong- Any motorsport is a good thing but I'm not sure this message is fully justified.
Best of luck to Billy monger anyway
