Nato loses his podium because of power overuse?

Another great race!

Nearly ruined by an early VSC that basically handed the race to Stoffel with a 5 second gap and negated the attack mode the car behind had to close the gap (this is why VSC is bullshit, it completely ruins strategy and favours the car ahead that's already pitted/attack moded, even if they're only ahead temporarily until the true leader regains the position after it stops)

Thankfully a proper SC period happened quite later, only after Buemi proved his further liability in wheel to wheel racing however.

SC start, why do I get the feeling the race had to be a SC start with that tight first corner anyway, and Formula E were cock-a-hoop it was even slightly damp so they could blame it on the rain

Get that sorted for next year and this could be one of their best tracks. The Downhill sweeper at the back end of the course is pretty cool and the monument hairpin is epic, putting the attack mode there is a pretty genius idea tbh. And we even saw overtaking at that corner today

9/10 tast weekend

This series is legit. The racing just delivers, year after year, race after race.

And yet the only thing delivered as consistently is the bitching from people who probably haven't even watched a race but object to the method of propulsion :slaphead:

Haven't watched a lap, nor will I. Electric cars are the work of the devil and this series is nothing but tree hugging propaganda!

Cars are meant to burn gas!

I personally detest anyone who thinks this is the way of the future!

Formula E is a great test mule for rules and things that conventional racing series cannot put

my only problem are some tracks, they could at least try racing on short road courses instead of some mickey mouse street circuits

they could give a shot at Brands Hatch Indy or Enna Pergusa

If this is sarcasm, it's really top-drawer sarcasm.

If this is serious, it's probably in the top 10 most stupid things ever written on TBK.

Brands Indy could actually be great - they still aren't really affected by aero so it would be pretty frantic.

Yeah when this Electric Racing FAD passes we'll be back to full petrol nitrous oxide V-Tech racing where the winner is the driver who shoots out the most impressive jet of flame over the line

More Power ARGH! ARGH! ARGH! ARGH! :metal:

Somehow I am picturing a column by a Robin Miller of a different era, lamenting the days when Indycar switched to dem funny fermented fuel (methanol or ethanol).

"The day the smell of half-combusted dinosaurs doesn't waft in the Brickyard air, I hope to be dead and buried inside Super Tex's roadster."

funny that ICE can get a good afterlife with synthetic efuels, with 0% dinosaur juice in the formula
