Abstract: Abstract Like most sport organizations, Formula E allows countries with a poor human rights record to host events in return for the latter’s assurances that societal progress is underway. This chapter addresses how this trade-off related to community-based issues is utilized through the logic of popular culture and open innovation tactics. Instead of criticizing the rulers of for example Saudi Arabia Formula E, apparently, use pop cultural stunts related to democratic reforms as channels for communicating ‘subversive’ statements on politically sensitive issues.
