Formula E - Gaining Momentum

Formula 1 racing is the pinnacle of technology, speed and skill in motorsports with an enormous global following. But there is a new Formula Series is emerging, Formula E, where "E" is for electric. FE races are being held in some of the most glamorous and famous cities in the world, and the cars look much like their F1 counterparts. However, they only reach speeds of 140 mph verses 230 mph, and of course noise levels are considerably lower and higher pitched.

But momentum seems to be swinging their way with two legendary racing manufacturers, Mercedes and Porsche, planning to drop several of their current racing programs to compete in the new Formula E Series. Other famous racing giants may follow suit. In the movie "The Hunt for Red October" star Sean Connery as the Captain of the silent drive submarine Red October told his crew members, "once the world trembled at the sound of our rockets, today they will tremble at the sound of our silence."  That statement may very well apply someday to Formula E racing.
