The Zero Race is about as far removed from traditional car racing as it’s possible to get. Kicking off outside the United Nations HQ in Geneva this week, the Zero Race is only for electric cars – so is likely to be rather slower than the petrol-driven wars of every other Sunday. And it’s happening on proper roads, so there will be traffic and ice cream van hazards to contend with. Also, victory will not be determined by who crosses the finishing line first. Winners will be picked from the entire field, by committee, after spectators and a panel of judges decide which car scores best for reliability, practicality and efficiency.
