Germany the next step for Nissan e.dams Formula E Challenge. This race is taking place place at the old Tempelhof Airport in Berlin which is just down the road to us which is now a Recreational Centre. This was the airport used during the Berlin Airlift when the Russians shut down all supply routes in and out of Berlin and the only way to get supplies in was through this and other airports - Dave 🙂

This is the Airport Layout :

If interested just a little History of the Air Lift, perhaps a few of the “Oldies” 🤫 will remember this :

The Berlin Blockade (24 June 1948 – 12 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War. During the multinational occupation of post–World War II Germany the Soviet Union blocked the Western Allies' railway, road, and canal access to the sectors of Berlin under Western control. The Soviets offered to drop the blockade if the Western Allies withdrew the newly introduced Deutsche Mark from West Berlin.
The Western Allies organised the Berlin airlift (26 June 1948–30 September 1949) to carry supplies to the people of West Berlin, a difficult feat given the size of the city's population. Aircrews from the United States Air Force, the Royal Air Force, the French Air Force, the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the South African Air Force, 338 flew over 200,000 sorties in one year, providing to the West Berliners up to 12,941 tons of necessities in a day, such as fuel and food, with the original plan being to lift 3,475 tons of supplies. However, by the end of the airlift, that number was often met twofold. The Soviets did not disrupt the airlift for fear this might lead to open conflict, even though they far outnumbered the allies in Germany and especially Berlin.
By the spring of 1949, the airlift was clearly succeeding, and by April it was delivering more cargo than had previously been transported into the city by rail. On 12 May 1949, the USSR lifted the blockade of West Berlin, although for a time the U.S., U.K and France continued to supply the city by air anyway because they were worried that the Soviets were simply going to resume the blockade and were only trying to disrupt western supply lines. The Berlin Blockade served to highlight the competing ideological and economic visions for postwar Europe and was the first major multinational skirmish of the cold war.

I think that this is what Nissan are hoping for that the other Teams see just the “Rear End” - Dave 🤣

Nissan e.dams has not only updated its livery for season six of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship – but revamped the race car's powertrain for the upcoming challenge. For the first races Nissan e.dams' will have an updated powertrain, updated due to new championship regulations. The single-motor solution replaces the innovative dual-motor system that delivered record-setting results for the team in season five.

These Races are Just a few Kms away from us but due to Corona no spectators are allowed. “The Berlin races will also mark the first time that Nissan’s new brand logo is featured across the Nissan e.dams team garage, race car and driver suits firstly unveiled at the world premiere of the all-new Nissan Ariya, a 100% electric crossover SUV” - Dave 😊

“The Nissan e.dams team heads to Berlin next week for six rounds of racing to decide the winners of the 2019/20 ABB FIA Formula E Championship. Staged behind closed doors at Tempelhof Airport circuit, three double-header races will take place over nine days from Aug. 5 to Aug. 13, completing the revised season six calendar. The season was then suspended, after just five rounds, due to the coronavirus outbreak.”
