Before getting started, racing pro Oliver Rowland gave the kicker tips on driving an electric car.
Eden Hazard is known for his speed and sprinting ability. A winger and attacking midfielder, he not only won the championship with Real Madrid, but also captained the Belgian national football team to the top of the FIFA rankings.
On the Circuito del Jarama, he pushed the Nissan Leaf e+ and the Leaf Nismo RC to the limits under the guidance of Formula E driver Oliver Rowland - thrills included, of course.
Unusual way of acceleration
With Nissan's electric cars, Eden Hazard has experienced a surprising kind of acceleration, especially with the racer Leaf Nismo RC. According to the factory, the bolide accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
Before the race got underway, the British racing driver gave the kicker a few important tips on driving purely electrically powered cars.
Eden Hazard: "I knew it would be fun to drive electric vehicles. I especially liked the acceleration of the Nismo RC. Just incredible."
Formula E and UEFA Champions League
The meeting of Eden Hazard and Oliver Rowland is intended to underline the brand's commitment to sport. In addition to its participation in Formula E, Nissan is also an official sponsor of the UEFA Champions League.
The premier class of European soccer is entering the home straight in August, just like Formula E.
