The Formula E’s show car stopped by  the District’s Automotive Technology Program. Mr. Hopper’s son, Michael, has been instrumental in bringing the race to New York. As a result, the car received several adjustments such as the addition of a new front spoiler. As the work was being performed, several of the Advanced Auto students from both Ken Bergen’s and Steve Hopper’s classes had the opportunity to learn from the Formula E representatives from London Sam Mallinson and Andy Windle.  The representatives answered the students’ questions such as, the type of courses the cars race on, how long the batteries last, how much does the car cost, and how is this car different from Formula 1 cars. Sam Mallinson and Andy Windle also demonstrated hands-on skills necessary to work on a Formula E race car.
