Formula E
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24013661
Smartphone chipmaker Qualcomm has signed a sponsorship deal with the forthcoming Formula E championship.
The FIA international motorsports body plans to launch the electric-car competition next year as an alternative to Formula 1.
Qualcomm will provide wireless-charging and augmented-reality technology to help the teams taking part and the public watching the races.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Re: Formula E
Maybe this is the reason Webber is bailing out after this year.
I can see it now... "Mark your KERS... ummm... your entire motor isn't working"
"Felipe, Fernando has more voltage than you!"

its all looking quite interesting so far, will be keeping a close eye on the series once it kicks off"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

Re: Formula E
This is the first I have heard of this series....so will there be augmented "engine/motor noise" as well?

Re: Formula E
Is it safe to have no major sound. I mean it could limit drivers knowing where others are or even affect Marshalling.

Re: Formula E
There will not be any engine sound, hence getting the city centre races. It will be like watching a bunch of Audi's at Le Mans. Im sure it will be exciting racing, good speed. But you need noise as well

Yes, I know that. And they will soon stop selling Focus either. But that means that the only cars available in the showroom were either big or super expensive - Ford Focus Station Wagon in RS...
