  • C’est quoi cette course de mini voitures aux JO de Paris ? #shorts

    C’est quoi cette course de mini voitures aux JO de Paris ? Ces petites voitures ne servent pas uniquement à faire des courses avec la mascotte Phryge des JO 2024 : ces Toyotas électriques servent aussi à ramener entre autres des javelots ou des disques. Ça fait quelques années déjà qu'elles sont utilisées dans les événements sportifs, par exemple avec les petites Mini Cooper de Londres en 2012 ou la fameuse mini Volkswagen arc-en-ciel de l'Euro 2020. En 2021 à Tokyo, les voitures étaient contrôlées par une IA, mais généralement ce sont des bénévoles qui les pilotent. Cette année, ces petites machines sont décorées aux couleurs des JO et télécommandées. Mais pourquoi Toyota, une marque japonaise, et pas une marque française comme Alpine ou Citroën? C’est parce que Toyota est un partenaire olympique officiel. La marque fournit donc une grande partie des véhicules électriques des Jeux, par exemple les voiturettes pour emmener les participants du village olympique à leurs événements.
