China is the first country to host the very first Formula E race ten years ago on the streets of Beijing. Back to where it all began, Formula E's 10th-anniversary celebrations continue in the streets of Shanghai.
Although further from the origin, Formula E's return to Chinese soil is all about returning to its roots while letting the drivers go all-out as the fight for the championship is too close to call.

The first race saw Jaguar dominating the podium with Mitch Evans the winner and Nick Cassidy finishing in 3rd. Pascal Wehrlein of Porsche finished 2nd.
The final race, meanwhile, saw a comeback win for Antonio Felix da Costa. At the same time, McLaren driver Jake Hughes, who made headlines for the closest qualifying gap in Formula E at the rate of 0.001 seconds between Stoffel Vandoorne, nailed his first Formula E podium by finishing 2nd, and Norman Nato finished 3rd.
After Shanghai, Nick Cassidy is leading with 167 points while Pascal Wehrlein is in 2nd with 142 points and Mitch Evans is in 3rd with 132 points.
There are only two venues left in Formula E's 10th-anniversary celebrations and the next will be the Portland ePrix this June 29-30.
The secret origin of Furiosa, a character who appeared in the Mad Max Fury Road movie a decade ago, has arrived and it's going to be "fast" and "Furiosa". Pun intended.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Starring Anya Taylor-Joy as the young Furiosa and Thor actor Chris Hemsworth, the spin-off to the Mad Max saga curated by George Miller uncovers more on Furiosa, a character who appeared in the award-winning blockbuster, Mad Max Fury Road.
A Mad Max movie without Mad Max himself feels odd. Still, because the insane world of Mad Max deserved to be expanded since the 2015 movie and the video game spin-off, this spinoff movie is a clear reminder that the Mad Max universe is opening up for more possibilities.
As fans got the chance to get to know Furiosa's secret origins, the classic Mad Max recipe is still there; lots of destructive carnage, hellish stunts, and an insane cast of characters minus the Mad Max you know. It's everything mad men want in a story of a femme fatale who's about to incite chaos against chaos.
Even without Mad Max, the secret origin of Furiosa proves that the franchise blows its doors off for expansion opportunities, and "what a lovely day" it is. Want chaos? Watch this movie. It's the most chaotic thing from the Mad Max universe.
Countach is an exclamation of astonishment that someone from Italy might make when seeing an extremely beautiful woman. It was the name applied to what's known to be The Greatest Lamborghini of All Time. The pin-up car for a generation.
From its 1971 debut to 1990, when it was replaced by the Diablo, the Countach is no doubt The Greatest Lamborghini of All Time. Because of its crowning glory, Lamborghini decided to create a 21st-century remake of the icon using bits and bobs from the Sian.
This is the result...
This is the Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, the modern-day remake of the greatest Lambo of all time and I won this car at the Horizon Retrowave update's Wet Season Playlist. Another long-overdue car to be featured in the Forza game since the Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series from the High Performance update eons ago.
The Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4, unveiled in the summer of 2021, is a modern take on the legendary Lamborghini Countach that made headlines at its 1971 Geneva Motor Show debut.
The reborn Countach uses components from the already sold-out Sian, and its 6.5L V12 engine is armed with an electric motor and a supercapacitor, generating a total output of 808hp. It can go from 0-100kph in 2.8 seconds and has a top speed of 355kph.
All 112 units were sold out before its world premiere.
Although better late than never, the reborn Countach feels right at home at the Horizon Retrowave update because of the 80s vibes making waves, a chance to rediscover the coolest decade of all. Driving one while listening to the newly added Horizon Wave radio station is time travel for players like you and me because it really is the homage to the original. Retro looks, futuristic drivetrain, and the overall Lamborghini-ism made the modern-day remake of the Countach a real blast from the past.
To see how much evolution the modern-day reboot has gained compared to the original, it's time to compare these two Countach models around the Horizon Mexico Circuit. Roll the tape.
And now the results...
Countach LP5000 QV - 1m17.928s
Countach LPI 800-4 - 1m08.268s
Nearly nine seconds. That's how much evolution the modern Countach has gained compared to the original. Welcome back to the 80s.
The Lamborghini Countach is the greatest Lamborghini of all time, and its legend continues with the LPI 800-4. Having experienced this modern-day reboot, the message is clear: The Countach is eternal.
