The City of Paris played host to the first European race of the 2015/2016 season of the world's first fully-electric championship. 18 single-seater, fully-electric vehicles were on the starting line of the Visa Paris e-Prix which took place on 23rd April on a track constructed around the Les Invalides building. This was the 7th leg out of a total of 11 for the season. Just imagine travelling along the Boulevard de la Tour-Maubourg at speeds in excess of 220 km/h.
