Events structures for Formula E: sustainability leads the race

An event that is enjoyed by young and old and meets all ecological requirements. Besides the electric Formula E racing cars going head to head, the event space included a two-storey pit lane, a restaurant, a lounge and a timber roof terrace. The pits were made from the sustainable raw material, too. The underlying idea of striving to maintain a CO2-neutral environmental footprint is perfectly aligned with our core values.
