That's right. They are merely puttering around conserving battery!

Oooh what a pleasure. Unlike F1, FE has got full qualifying and race coverages updates to YouTube pretty much immediately after the event. Great stuff! Then don't have to worry about missing action.
Watching the stuff felt like the start of some kind of a new era. Background music is indeed weird. Cars look slooow... Then I saw from data that the top speed at the end of the straight didn't even exceed 200 km p/h. They have really a lot of development to do to match up to some of the other open-wheel-series...
But at least a start has been given. Nice to see Heidfeld fighting right at the sharp end of the field - an opportunity he missed in F1. Though in F1 context none of those guys reached particularly high... Hoping to see more of Trulli in the future. And then there are some other guys we didn't get much information about - like the arguable pre-season favourite Buemi.

Indeed some work to do. Most of the racing looked like it was at speeds of F1 cars behind a pace car.

I finally got to watch the whole race and thought it was pretty impressive. I definitely plan to follow the series. I'de like to see Formula E get it's own section here so all the information is in one place and easier to access.

I forgot to mention the car sound... The sound is so... squealy... or I don't know which word to use. That it is pretty hard to listen it for long before wanting to turn off because ears want to have a rest...

Did Jan Solans get 3 points for his 8th place at the end of saturday? Wikipedia and WRC site shows he didn't, eWRC shows he did.
