Formula E

[Whyzars]

I've grudgingly mellowed on E everything but if they are already pandering to those among us who can't lift their heads from a phone screen then they might be struggling.

If its F1 with the sound even more muted then I'll watch but the first time I hear a commentator say "... fans are liking that car to 190mph" I'm outta there.

I'm waiting for the official announcement of sponsorship from Wrigleys. The series will then be rebranded as Formula E by Gum.

(This joke may get less funny the further you live away from the North of England)

It's on NBC sports, right? I'm planning on seeing it if I can find it.

I will give it a go.

Where do we go for our race day banter though?

I believe Speed TV (or whatever the Fox channel is called nowadays ) is airing it live.

Been watching the development of the cars, teams, racetracks with interest. To be honest, think this will turn into another A1GP without the engines.

My long-time favourite Trulli makes a comeback to racing, and this time not only as a driver, but also as a team boss. So re-inventing the tradition of the Brabhams, McLarens, Amons, Surtees, and others from the days of past.

The only former F1 race winner to start there. However, having been away from racing for some time at the age of 40 now I suspect he may struggle to keep up with some of the younger guys, so I think if he can make it into, say, top 10, it would be pretty fine.

Sadly I won't be able to watch the inaugural race though.

I boosted Trulli, which is really just a way of getting you to register.

I gave Trulli a boost as well. However, I suspect he may not be popular enough to be among the top3 "chosen ones", who are most popular. But thankfully the boost effect is not very strong, thus not playing a significant role in the outcome. With perhaps coming into play only when two drivers are very-very evenly matched and one overtaking move decides all.

This is as good a place as any Steve. It's a 2:00am start for me, but hopefully I'll see some quali and other activities if the "free" stream I pull in is ITV. Anyway I'll check in here. Secretly I'm pulling for Jarno's Macbabe driver, Michela Cerruti
but I think Renault have the car.

Thanks. I would have probably missed it.
