It just finished in Malaysia.
The cars look just like F-! cars. Powered by a battery set-up that lets the driver
get off the accelerator to re-charge the batteries & punch it to gain speed!
I even heard the tires at speed! I didn't get the average mph though.
I just saw the last four laps.
The cars of the future? How weird!

I think formula E is ample demonstration (as if it were needed) that proper racing cars should be just a bit noisy. It loses much if they are as quiet as that, it seems; they are not slow by any means, but they don't sound fast to me...
One thing that is interesting is that the fans can vote a brief power hike for some racers over others. So far it looks like it helps if ;
a) your name is Senna
b) you were obviously wronged in a previous race or
c) you are a girl.
One of the lady drivers got the power hike in the last race. She used it to.....
-have an accident with the only other lady driver on the grid, on the opening lap, putting them both out.
Ho hum.... not sure that does the cause of women in motorsport much good, really...
cheers
