Fleet of electric cars leave Barcelona on round-the-world trip

A FLEET of electric rally cars have set off from Barcelona in a 25,000km round trip.

Named 80edays Elduro – The Hard One, the cars are attempting to return to Barcelona within 80 days or less, and are planting trees along the way to offset the greenhouse impact from the event.
