Excellent! My first thought was that it would be a great event for ESPN8 the ocho.

They need to build a dedicated course that can accommodate the teams’ own trams (with multi-gauge tracks and adjustable voltages), rather than just using the host city’s ones.

I watched the stream last year, I think from Frankfurt and it was very cool
