    Formula E

    Does anyone here follow this?

    I was at the Mexico race, and despite them looking pretty much like F1 cars, they sound odd...

    Re: Formula E

    Yes! Though I really dislike a lot of things about it: fanboost is ridiculous, so are the tracks and the completely non-functional blinged up cars. It's just a big game of dodgems really.

    Give me cars that show the relevance/potential of electric motors (per wheel vectoring etc.), get rid of fake aero bling and fanboost and stick them on tracks that allow some real racing and I'd make more of an effort to join in.

    But at least you can watch on free-to-air.

    Yeah, the tracks are short, the cars sound odd, the crowd in Mexico seemed to love it though, even the i-Pace stuff was weird..
    The only car I did like was the new BMW i8, they'd chopped the top off of one to make a roadster, that was tasty..

    Re: Formula E

    while I agree with everyone's vibes... and while I personally don't actually like all electric cars for the road much at present...

    I find Formula E quite entertaining because......

    it's not taking itsef too seriously yet.

    F1 looks utterly ridiclous from outside.. you need to be used to it to focus on it without laughing. It's so so so shiny as to be nearly untouchable by mortals

    Formula E hasn't falled foul of that yet.
