Kate Upton paid a visit to the Formula E race in Montreal last weekend where she had the opportunity to go for a spirited drive around the circuit in a BMW i8 safety car, the Bavarian automaker being the series' official automaker, and all. With Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag at the wheel, needless to say, she was shown a good time.

Judging by the exclamations of "Yes!!" and "Definitely go as fast as you can go," it sounds like the SI Swimsuit cover model is a fan of the BMW i8—its 420 pound-feet of instantaneous torque and electrified high-speed thrills in general. 

For posterity, here's a shot of Kate posing with one of the electric-powered racers.

It's nice to see celebrities—especially ones who seem to be as unaffiliated with the car world as Upton—taking an interested in racing. And it's even more nice to see them actually enjoying themselves while doing so.
