Formula E racing

Seen a clip of this today & it looks like it's gonna be awesome
Nasty big crash with leader getting wiped out on last bend of last lap
Happily the 2 drivers looked to be ok.

I like the mid race car swaps it's more exciting than f1

I was surprised how well the car held up to the crash too I was expecting ambulances not a walking driver :O

As I'm sad I have the app and can now count down the 90 days until the next race, just long enough to recharge the cars :P

For me the blame lies on the shoulders of Prost
Nasty thing to have happened but knocks like this will bring a good edge of rivalry to the series
Quite impressed with the handling of the cars.

Didnt they try a similar thing when all the cars were the same.

Only the driver was suppose to make a difference.

Think that has now disappeared.

Sorry to be a stick in the mud, and I know F1 has got a bit boring, BUT it bored me STIFF................... I have heard the cars, they are so quiet and they look ugly. There was no atmosphrere, so but Id rather kill the planet than have to watch E racing......

Think I will go and rev the ZS now.........................................

I like the ethos behind it, I'm sure more of the technology will filter down to road cars, the tyres are already close to regular tyres.

You are talking about Formula Palmer Audi - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_Palmer_Audi .

It finished in 2010. Previously an old boss of mine went to be Jonathon Palmers no.2.

Thats the one.

Electricity is the way forward. Fossil fuels will run out. F1 has developed road cars over the years and these will do the same. That new BMW supercar looks great but if I'm right is a zero emissions car.

I think they look pretty cutting edge too.

I like it.
