How to make the hugely uninteresting sport of motor racing even more uninteresting : take the drivers out. Now you can watch algorithms chase each other round a track for 57 laps, hurrah !

A landmark race between two driverless electric cars has ended badly for one of the contestants. The unfortunate Devbot vehicle crashed out of the Roborace competition after misjudging a corner while travelling at high speed. The incident occurred ahead of the start of the latest Formula E electric car race in Buenos Aires. The other vehicle managed to complete the course after achieving a top speed of 186km/h (116mph).

I'd enjoy watching a full-size GT3-style remote control race. Without any safety restrictions, let the constructors go wild with fan-blown downforce and twi-turbo 1500hp monster engines like the X2014 Fan Car. topgear.com - Mother of god, it’s the Red Bull X2014

And will robots be doing the tyre changes?
ReplyDeleteAs a motor racing fan... I can decide if I'm horrified or thrilled at this prospect. No rules racing... Tasty.
