Live from Buenos Aires on ITV4 at 6pm today

If you have nothing else to do and you can stay awake!

As far as I can see it's won by whoever's batteries last the longest, Duracell?

Watched it:

It was a bit like Scalectrix without the sparks but they did come off just as often.

They seem to break the corners off quite a lot with the big black roundy things pointing all over the place!

The drivers names seem to be either relatives of former F1 greats or F1 'tried but didn't quite make it's'

Also the F1 'speak' is present, for sure.

Found it rather boring i'm afraid.

I wonder if they listen to radio 1 or 2 when they're driving???

Watched a bit of this electric racing from Beijing on Youtube. Definitely miss the sound but the crash at 1.02:40 shows they are certainly doing some speed. Just one corner to go as well

Incredible shunt Phil and a tribute to the strength of these cars.  I guess he didn't see him and he couldn't hear him either.  You cant hear EV's coming 

They are about 170KWatts which is about 230bhp but twice as heavy as F1 petrol cars - they have go a way to go for me.  I like the look of the emerging Petrol/EV hybrids and they sound good too.

Thought they had mirrors on these cars.....I would be well *issed off if that happened to me!!
