American actor Adrien Brody visited Formula E in Diriyah, where he too was impressed by the performance of the Hankook iON Race. The Oscar winner from New York took the Gen3 demo car for a spin. “I grew up with drag racing and have gained a bit of experience at racetracks in the past. As such, I am very grateful for the opportunity to drive the Formula E GEN3 at the Diriyah Street Circuit. That has given me even more appreciation and respect for this sport and the talent, ability and fighting spirit possessed by these drivers. These electric cars have so much torque and are so unbelievably light that you really need to be very sensitive to get them round the corners and avoid them becoming twitchy on the straights,” said Brody after his test drive.
