■Formula E Racing

If you think the atmosphere at a Formula 1 Grand Prix is electric，you're going to love the new motor sport starting.Formula E will see drivers racing around city－centre roads—including London—in battery(电池)－powered electric cars.The new championship，which is backed by the FIA，motor racing's governing body，promises cars as sexy as those driven by Lewis Hamilton，Sebastian Vettel et al，but with batteries and electric motors.While their top speed is expected to be 155mph，slower than Formula 1，the event will be made up for with exciting street circles and night events.The stops will be different too：with the batteries running out after 20 minutes，drivers won't just change their tires；they'll jump into new cars.The season is scheduled to start on September 13 in Beijing，with further races in the streets of Rio de Janeiro，Berlin and Los Angeles，before the final event in the centre of London on June 27，2015.

■More Transparent Shopping
