Formula E co-founder and championship director Alberto Longo told KOIN 6 News he loves the energy Portlanders bring to the event. Formula E drivers are single-seaters that reach speeds of 200 mph in electric machines.

“People are going to see action, overtaking, spectacular things on the track,” Longo said. “But off the track, we have a fan village full of activities for people of all ages. »

Tickets are still available for literally electric action on Sunday, with live music, food and activities for fans too.
