<title>Tanner Foust’s FC1-X EV Racer Booed by ICE Fans at SEMA, He Had Them Smiling by the End</title>

<title>BMW i4&#039;s Road to Pikes Peak Has Entered a New Phase</title>
<link>https://www.autoevolution.com/news/bmw-i4-s-road-to-pikes-peak-has-entered-a-new-phase-242852.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[&nbsp;As a kid, skateboarding felt like an expensive sport to be a part of. Anyone going for it would break multiple boards yearly while also thrashing their shoes. 

It&#039;s more affordable today, but I now have a job to support it if I want to. My problem is that I&#039;ve left skateboarding behind for motorsports. And racing in 2024 feels more prohibitive than riding a board at the start of the 21st century.
