Formula E Car Visits Arctic Ice Cap

With the earth experiencing the warmest year on record, the amount of sea ice breaking away from the Arctic has reached new levels. To raise awareness of the issue, Formula E joined forces with Julius Baer, Visa, DHL, Schaeffler, The Prince Albert Foundation II and Mumm to bring a zero-emission racer to the ice cap with Formula E driver, Lucas di Grassi.

The Brazilian, who will be seeking to go one better than his runner-up position in the season two championship when the series returns with the HKT Hong Kong ePrix in October, performed a series of runs on the ice cap, inside the Arctic circle in the north of Greenland.
