Formula E: Lucas Di Grassi wins first race as Nicolas Prost crashes

Formula E made its debut in Beijing with a spectacular crash at the last corner which cost long-time leader Nicolas Prost the race.

The Frenchman, son of Formula 1 legend Alain Prost, collided with Germany's Nick Heidfeld, allowing Audi Sport's Lucas Di Grassi to triumph.

"I would not have expected for him to have attempted a suicide move at the end of the race," Prost snr said.

The new 10-race season concludes in London's Battersea Park next June.

The one-hour races - in which drivers have to change cars halfway through, as a battery has not yet been developed to provide enough power for a full race - feature music during the races, as well as a "fanboost" where three drivers with the most social media votes have the power of their cars increased.
 

I posted a clip off the crash yesterday although it was pretty good shame about the rest of the race.
But I did like the way the drivers had to make a pit stop to change cars because of a "flat battery"
