[Tazio]

[Tazio]

Come on dawgz, Markabilly liked to write a bout Scott (not) Speed, but he took the second step in Miami. He must have been practicing virtually, right Billy?

Maybe it was because I had just watched the F1 race , but man , did those cars look slow at that track to me .
It made me wonder if they get going fast enough to make the snazzy aero package give them any downforce .

But the most annoying thing about the whole affair was the sound .
Announcers were hard to hear , especially when the audio included the sound from the helicopter .

The slooooooooooooooooooooooooow ride to the grid is also still really stupid looking .

The series still has a lot of issues , and i hope they solve a few and gain a fan base .

I guess this means I won't be seeing you in Long Beach.

Doc,
what is the difference between swaping cars or filling in gas like in F1?
None. In fact, it is safer and because of the minimum time just.
As for the drivers, don't forget that some of these guys would deserve an F1 drive anytime. They either sat on the wrong car in F1 or didn't have the money to continue.
Sure, all cars are the same for the moment but that makes it for more open battle.
Right now Formula e is more existing to watch than Formula 1, even if I am not wanting to compare both series. I love both.

First race that I managed to watch live at the weekend (the Saturday race really throws me) and it was much better than the F1. Sure there are issues with the sport, but it's the first ever season with new technology and a lot less money than F1 (which, let's be honest, has plenty of issues). Of the things that I'd like to see sorted out for future season are:
1 - Road tyres - not sure why
2 - the noise
3 - Playing music over a replay
4 - All the tracks are crazily bumpy and make some corners a bit of a lottery.
5 - Changing cars halfway through
6 - The wait between events

I'm going solo to Long Beach on my scooter next week and check it out, It's about 115 miles and I plan on leaving by 06:00 maybe get some pics. I think the reason the road courses look really bumpy is because the suspensions aren't beefy enough for the massive battery weight x velocity, and they run the curbs and break sometimes!
