One of the pioneering fully-electric racing cars that will compete in Saturday鈥檚 Rome Formula E race, roared into the Santa Marta courtyard in front of 杏MAP导航 Francis鈥� residence on Wednesday morning to be blessed by the environmentally aware pontiff himself.

And later in the morning, after the General Audience in St. Peter鈥檚 Square, the 杏MAP导航 (author of 鈥�Laudato Sì 鈥� On the Care for Our Common Home鈥�) had a special greeting for a team of managers, mechanics and pilots representing the Formula E Championship, the world鈥檚 first fully-electric international single-seater street racing series.

Described as 鈥渞acing reinvented鈥� and consisting of ten teams and 20 drivers, Formula E delivers world-class racing to 10 cities over five continents, throughout the seven-month Championship season.

Protagonists of the event explain that the Formula E Championship is more than just a racing series. It provides a competitive platform for car manufacturers to test and develop electric vehicles and improve the 鈥渮ero carbon emissions鈥� driving experience for everyday road car users all over the world.
