Racing fans in the UK have been clamoring for the
British Grand Prix to move from Silverstone into London proper for years, and that's almost what they'll get in June 2015 when the nascent
Formula E series will race around their streets. It'll essentially amount to a full-scale Scalextric track, but though
Renault will power all the cars (for the first season at least), the French automaker - which has been betting big on electric vehicles - isn't waiting around that long.
In the video

Zoe electric city cars and airlifted a couple of supposed contest winners by helicopter to control the cars remotely. Is the footage real? That's doubtful. But does that make it any less fun to watch?
Have a look, and then cast your vote right here.
