The MINI Electric Safety Car unveiled for the Formula E championship not long ago, made its debut in this role in the Rome e-Prix that took place this weekend. In order to mark the occasion properly, the guys from Oxford decided to put together a different kind of race, with both entrants being powered by electricity alone. Therefore, the video below was born, featuring the MINI Pacesetter and the Milan Metro subway train.

The video shows the two trying to beat each other over a course spreading across the city. The race also featured to very skilled drivers, albeit one had more work to do than the other. Behind the wheel of the MINI was Charlie Cooper, a member of the founding family of John Cooper Works and grandson of John Cooper. On the Milan Metro subway train, is official Safety Car driver Bruno Correia, who has been doing this since 2014.
