This is how Mercedes-Benz sees the future of racing. Formula Zero racing combines elements from land yachting, the luge, and Formula One of course, but it also incorporates environmental responsibility. Each team has a certain amount of energy to complete the race, and points are awarded based on elapsed time and energy efficiency.

It’s all very futuristic since it’s to take place in the future. The race will even be run on a glass track allowing the audience to watch the race from below. How’s that for a view? Will it ever happen? Maybe one day. Or maybe we’ll just see certain elements. But probably not for many years to come.
