If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.
So they've finally fixed the two-cars Chinese fire drill nonsense so I guess I can get into Formula-E now.

Although if they keep calling the races "E-Prees" then I may not.


This sounds loving baller. I really love the idea of hyper-efficient perfect racing machines.

They're absolutely gonna keep calling them e-prees and the fanboost isn't going anywhere either afaik.

Fanboost is weird but doesn't turn me off as much as the Chinese fire-drills did. For whatever reason :shrug:

And I guess I can just mute the announcers since they're not great anyways.

I thought they were down to 1 car now but looks like they had 2 cars in Rome?

E: Is that for the next season which starts later in the year or something? How do the seasons work in this sport lmao

Yeah, Formula E runs through the winter, seasons end around July and start again towards the end of the year.

Yeah I think I knew that and forgot.

FE looking to actually turn the racing into Mario Kart (or F-Zero, if you prefer): https://www.autosport.com/fe/news/135645/formula-e-evaluating-mariokart-race-format

loving hell, guys. I know it's just an idea at this point and I understand that they want to spice things up when there are no pit stops, but I don't think boost pads are what the racing needs.

Yeah boost pads and weirdo shortcut paths would be really strange. That's a dramatic idea, compared to like... why not just copy F1 and have multiple tire compounds and require you to pit at least once if they miss having pit stops?
