David. Can you be any more anti-Tesla? Why single out the most efficient of EVS, when there are truly abysmal EVs out there, all while leaving out the fact that you can't actually buy the race winner mentioned in the article... I expect higher quality articles on this site.

The "Challenger" performance class vehicles can be as light as 130-140kgs. Being blown off the road by wind isn't uncommon.

An extremely difficult event to compete in.
