Presumably you want them to be driving electric cars in a circle. Electric cars are 19th century technology:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.pbs.org&amp;#x2F;now&amp;#x2F;shows&amp;#x2F;223&amp;#x2F;electric-car-timeline.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.pbs.org&amp;#x2F;now&amp;#x2F;shows&amp;#x2F;223&amp;#x2F;electric-car-timeline.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;History_of_the_electric_vehicle&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&amp;#x2F;wiki&amp;#x2F;History_of_the_electric_vehicl...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.abc.net.au&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;2019-05-02&amp;#x2F;the-history-birth-death-resurrection-of-the-electric-car&amp;#x2F;11053928&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.abc.net.au&amp;#x2F;news&amp;#x2F;2019-05-02&amp;#x2F;the-history-birth-dea...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Formula E is good. It&amp;#x27;s improving year by year and the Gen2 car is a clear improvement over the Gen1 car. You can watch past races on their YouTube channel:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;user&amp;#x2F;FIAFormulaE&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.youtube.com&amp;#x2F;user&amp;#x2F;FIAFormulaE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;But let&amp;#x27;s not kid ourselves.
