Wooooh! Racing in January, and tbh Formula E couldn't really have a better track to launch their season, it's famous, it's a road course, it provides good racing and it's not too cold in January, what more can they ask for?!

I was thinking the other day, is this the most diverse race track in the world?

What other track has hosted Formula 1, Indycar/Cart, NASCAR, A1GP, Sportscars (ALMS IIRC) AND Formula E?

Only needs a WEC round to complete the set, and maybe a rally or something :lol:

Group C also raced there when they started killing the series in the early 90's. Schumacher even won there in 1990 for Sauber

They've done an indycar and delayed them until midway through the season....though it's been mysteriously quiet on that front.
The racing is so good atm I can't imagine adding a pit cycle is gonna make it any better, but lets see, it might be optional I guess.....

And dare i ask but......stream? :?

Surprised Formula E didn't take the chance to throw a dodgy SC for the car recovery there, they do like to close up the field ;)

Forum's running a bit slow atm eh?

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

This needs to be a full SC so the marshals can work without the field constantly trickling by them :whistling:

*edit* Yep they heard me :p

No contact, he probably took too much speed trying to pass the car in attack mode and just found the dust when he needed to slow that speed down
