This month, ‘Supercharged’ reports from Marrakech, Morocco as Formula E prepares for its first ever race in Africa.
Host Nicki Shields takes in a sightseeing trip around the medina with Techeetah driver Jean Eric Vergne. The pair navigate themselves through the twists and turns of Marrakech’s Old Town and learn more about the hosts of the second race in the Formula E calendar.
‘Supercharged’ travels to Casablanca, where Shields meets Rafik Lahlou, a collector of classic cars. Lahlou explains Morocco’s rich racing history and takes Shields for a drive in a prototype electric car. Expected to launch in 2017, the programme learns that how Lahlou’s concept will be the first electric vehicle to be assembled on Morocco soil.
At the same time as the Marrakech E-Prix, world leaders are in Morocco for the UN Climate Change Conference 2016. Shields meets Nick Nuttall, the outreach spokesperson for the convention, who describes how Formula E’s aims align with COP22’s agenda for the future of green energy and conservation of the planet.
Nuttall also introduces Shields to one of the delegates at the convention, Bertrand Piccard, the explorer who circumnavigated the globe in a solar-powered plane.
‘Supercharged’ also reports on all the racing action from the North African circuit as the programme sees which driver will claim a maiden win in Marrakech.
