<font color="#F08080">Start / End Strategy
The player has 9 days to complete the 9 stages, the event is 9 days x 24 hours. The first stage will start Dec 24th 00:00 UTC, the last stage will end 9 x 24 hours later. Stage 02 will automatically open at midnight, regardless of weather stage 01 is completed, it doesn't matter if stage 01 isn't completed the first day, it can continued the following day. Stage 02, will automatically unlock at midnight, but can only be raced once stage 01 is complete. Stage 03 will unlock at midnight the following day, and so on up to stage 9. In total there will be 9 x 24 hours = 216 hours to complete all stages.

For example:

Start ### @ 7:30 PM the event will end # days x 24 hours later, Sunday @ 7:30 PM,

there is no choice to choose a start time for the High Voltage event, it will automatically open world wide 24th Dec 00:00 UTC, for UTC - time zones this will be 23rd, for UTC + time zones this will be 24th.

<font color="#FFFF00">When is the last time I can start this Event?
Unlike previous special events, this event automatically starts, for all players Dec 24th, 2016 @ 00:00 (UTC) world wide and will run for 9 days. Every 24 hours, a new stage unlocks for participation, even if the player has not completed an earlier stage, or even started the event.

<font color="#FFFF00">Will this event be added to the race career?
FM went though a spell of adding special events to the racing career, the last time a special event was added was September 2015 v3.6, NASCAR Academy was added directly to the NASCAR career, without previously being released as a Time Limited Event (TLE). Previous to that was April 2015 v3.3, with Redline: Origins and MotorFiesta 1. It is therefore unlikely this event will be added to the racing career.

<font color="#FFFF00">Will the car be available to win in the future?
The Formula E SRT_01E (Renault Z.E.16) is available to win if the challenge is completed in 9 days, after Jan 2nd the Formula E SRT_01E (Renault Z.E.16) can be purchased.

<font color="#FFFF00">Can I buy the car?
The Formula E SRT_01E (Renault Z.E.16) is available in two series:
 * Formula E: Showcase bonus series the Master category
 * Formula E: Experience bonus series the Master category

This vehicle was added in the Formula E Update (v5.0.0) released on December 13th 2016 and can be unlocked by earning ?? trophies in Formula E: Showcase, or by earning ?? trophies in Formula E: Experience [??OR?? is unlocked as soon as Formula E: Showcase is unlocked] or by completing the High Voltage special event.

This vehicle can be acquired for 700  or 560  with showcase discount. It can sometimes be bought for ?? as a 'Get it Now' price, unlocking Formula E: Showcase and Formula E: Experience.

<font color="#FFFF00">What is the minimum PR / upgrades required
RR3 Michael P wrote (pre-race): Since Generations, if the players car is far below the recommended PR level the bots run impossible times. Once the car is upgraded the bots return to normal times. Slowing the bots works, only when the PR requirements are close. Some goals have fixed top bots. Possible upgrade strategies:
