This weekend downtown Miami hosted the first Formula E car race in the United States.
The Formula E is similar to Formula 1 races -- except the cars are electric.
It was quite the adjustment for those accustomed to racing in gas-powered vehicles. Daniel Abt is a driver who raced in Saturday’s event.
“It did happen to me that I thought the engine wasn’t running and it actually was. When you’re not accelerating, there’s no sound at all,” said Abt.
The point of the series was to have a race with zero-emissions.
Race organizers will be teaming up with manufacturers to develop technology inspired by Formula E race cars to put in regular commercial vehicles.
