Motor racing's quiet revolution gathers pace with the launch of Formula E and a 14-race series in 2014.
Rome is the first European city to announce that it will stage a round of the inaugural FIA Formula E series for electric-powered racers in 2014.
Rio di Janeiro was the first city to commit to the series, in August. There are expected to be 10 urban races in all in the first Formula E championship.
