"I like the fact that this idea came from the fans, and #formulae listened and accepted the challenge.
It was an icredibile experience for me to race against the fastest member of the animal kingdom." . Felipe Massa


Formula E
driver Felipe Massa went up against a peregrine falcon in a straight fight to outrun the fastest animal on the planet - behind the wheel of the Gen2 car. It’s not the first time the fully-electric #formulae car has been pitted against a member of the animal kingdom, with reigning champion Jean-Eric Vergne running side-by-side with a cheetah on the Western Cape of South Africa last year. Narrowly edging out the fastest land mammal, fans asked for a re-match - but this time together with more stern competition. Listening to the feedback of fans on social media, it was the turn of the peregrine falcon, which is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 350 km/h (217 mph) when diving through the skies.
