I'm Sam Bird, and I drive an electric racing car.

我是 Sam Bird，我駕駛一輛電動賽車。

Formula E is a single-seater racing championship but purely for electric vehicles.

電動方程式是一個單座賽車錦標賽，但純粹是電動汽車的錦標賽。

Formula E is gonna be the catalyst for people believing that electric vehicles are cool, fun and that they are the future.

電動方程式將成為讓人們相信電動汽車很酷、有趣，以及電動汽車是未來的催化劑。

There's no other place in the world where you can push these technologies so hard that you can do in motor sports.

世界上沒有其他比起賽車運動更能讓你努力去推動這些科技的地方。

Formula E is really in the here and the now.

電動方程式真的就發生在此時此地。

Electric cars, they are computers on wheels.

電動汽車是有輪子的電腦。

Not only we have to develop the hardware of the car, for sure the motor, the inverter.

我們不僅要開發汽車的硬體，當然也要開發馬達、變頻器。

But also we have an awful lot of software to be developing.

但是我們還有很多軟體要開發。

There are probably a hundred different topics we can work on to improve the overall efficiencies of our electric racing cars.

可能有一百個不同的主題我們可以著手研究，以提高我們的電動賽車的整體效率。

That's why our partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise is so important.

這就是為什麼我們與慧與科技公司的合作如此重要。

Hewlett Packard Enterprise have designed a really bespoke IT solution.

慧與科技公司已經設計了一個真正定制的 IT 解決方案 。

It is able to condense the amount of time it takes from the data to go from the car to the engineers.

它能夠壓縮從數據到汽車到工程師的時間。

We have reduced that time from about two minutes to 10 seconds.

我們把時間從大約兩分鐘縮短到 10 秒。

That might sound marginal, but shaving two minutes of non-productive time is absolutely critical.

這聽起來可能微不足道，但是削除兩分鐘非生產時間絕對至關重要。

Racing is important not only from a sporting perspective, but from a life perspective.

賽車不僅從體育的角度，而且從生活的角度來看也很重要。

I firmly believe the Formula E series will make more people on the planet go green,

我堅信電動方程式將使更多在地球上的人會變環保 。

because the technology from here will go into the production line and make a better, more affordable electric car.

因為這裡的科技將會進入生產線，並製造出更好、更實惠的電動汽車。

It's not so much about the speed of the car themselves.

這與其說是汽車本身的速度。

It's about the speed of how our team operates and how quickly we're able to adopt new technologies and integrate them into our race cars.

不如說這是關於我們團隊運作的速度，以及我們採用新技術的速度有多快，並將這些速度綜合到我們的賽車中。

That's why Formula E is so important.

這就是為什麼電動方程式如此重要。

This is the catalyst of change.

這是變革的催化劑。
