I started watching this but forgot about it after a few races. They really should advertise more. First season was no development right?

First race this morning was pretty good compared to last season, they seem to be pushing more rather than just a train.

Skeeter · 24 Oct 2015 at 14:45

Seems their promotion of it hasn't improved through. I had no idea this was on, and have seen zero advertising about it either.

Even Glaucus hasn't updated the thread to give us the heads up!

Was a pretty decent first race, just hope the top teams aren't able to dominate the others... Was good to see Dragon a 'customer' team doing a lot better than their seller.

I remeber seeing an advert for it last week some time so knew it was on this weekend, but it was only when I decided to check what time it was on when I realised it had already started!

Advertised on itv a bit I think but don't often watch their channels.

Enjoyed the race, although the picture quality on ITV Player was shocking. Checked Youtube and someone had it up in HD so watched that instead.

Slightly concerned that the teams lower down the grid using last year's parts will not be able to develop at all due to the freeze during the season, but I guess as the battery capacity is limited they'll be able to run full power for longer as I'd imagine efficiency is much of a muchness.

Last season you could stream FE directly on http://www.fiaformulae.com/en/live-streaming.aspx but looking at the drop down list we do not get it this season. I missed the first race. Might just youtube the highlights for the future races. Even then it was only a few mins of highlights and the rest was chatting.

Crazy second race, so many issues/incidents... Good job from Frijns holding on with his sideways driving car the last few laps for third

Wasn't getting up to watch it so had the Sky box record it... except it recorded all the pre-show and the first 6 minutes once actually at the race, so didn't even see the start! Anyone else get the same?

Some good action there!

Just a though... This is an FIA series yes? With a single chassis which the FIA has had lots of involvement in, that has now been carried into its second year with little/no changes, right? So why does it have the high noses they banned from F1 for being really bad and unsafe? :confused:

You answered your own question...

Enjoyable race, but I can't believe how much the track surface tore up at turn 9. Enjoyed how Frijns crabbed his way to 3rd too...

Glaucus · 30 Nov 2015 at 23:54

This is exciting.

Should make an interesting support race. Just hope both survive enough years t really make use if the fast pace of technology.

Guerrilla · 1 Dec 2015 at 20:26

Next step fit weapons or have boosts etc... Turn it into a real world Mario kart our something, no drivers to worry about now

Ryan-3 · 1 Dec 2015 at 20:31

I wonder if it'll be awful through little close racing or constantly getting too close?

Skeeter · 1 Dec 2015 at 22:29

Er... right. A driverless race. No thanks.

PooKer · 2 Dec 2015 at 10:27

Guess they can blame the lag. But would be more like bumper cars imo

Cleisthenes · 2 Dec 2015 at 10:30

No thank you very much
