Modern motorsport's greatest achievement?

Formula E made history last weekend by racing in the centre of one of the world's most famous cities. SCOTT MITCHELL examines the impact of the maiden Paris ePrix, which should not be underestimated

Perhaps I'm a bit overexcited. Can a street-track-based championship pulling off a race in the middle of a city really be a candidate for 'modern motorsport's greatest achievement'?

I could be stretching the point. But I'm convinced Formula E's inaugural Paris ePrix is a big deal. Not just because of the history it made, but because of the blueprint it offers the series, and perhaps even motorsport, for the future.
