Are you looking for something that will thrill your motorsport senses but won’t kill the environment, unlike the usual vehicle sports? In that case, the ‘Formula Zero’ championship might be up your street. The contest pitted teams from five countries against each other, in what was the first ever zero-emissions go kart race. Each team […]
Are you a designer of the future? That’s the slogan of the new Fiat ‘Smiles Per Hour’ competition. How does it work?
