I have a question i hope someone can answer

Amateurs as in they bring the money like in gt3 or formula series

in practice

he had a highside and was stretchered off

i rather get the feeling he had some pain last week in ther ace along with the tire pressure problem and just go through it in quali

how important will that blistering start from Mir be?

Very tbbh

He did exactly what he needed to do

i do feel sorry for him still not being able to get that win

so to answer your question FE does have good things going. Issue is they do happen to have sometimes way too many gimmicks into a race such as fan boost etc that are a bit..eh?

the cars aren't fast enough and there was a critizism a while back about batteries not lasting 45 mins (back when they were having 2 cars in the race) and some...stuff i guess happening

#

it's a good series even if cars are extremely slow and you can argue the reason why they aren't going to tracks like donnington or anywhere else if they go there, they will be extremely slow

#

@lethal yacht

#

the drivers there most of them or not all of them are endurance. Most are F1 prospects or drivers which is a thing i guess

tawny hatch
#

didn't they avoid f1 tracks/layouts because they didn't want to look slow?

spark bay
#

The literal only reason they use a much worse monaco layout is because the stupid organizers are too scared the speeds will be compared between f1 and fe

#

Which is absolutely pathetic

#

Honestly fe at classic monaco would be bloody awesome, same with some version of adelaide

#

Just pick up where f1 left off

tight quiver
#

it would just be cool to have fe and f1 speed compared

but its probably when they switched to the new gen something

#

The literal only reason they use a much worse monaco layout is because the stupid organizers are too scared the speeds will be compared between f1 and fe
@spark bay no? it's because otherwise the cars literally wouldn't have the energy to do a proper race

#

they'd get fucked when going up saint devot

#

next year they're getting the full layout already

spark bay
#

That makes sense actually

pure pecan
#

battery improvements

spark bay
#

I think i heard what i said somewhere and didn’t really research

pure pecan
#

they'll be able to properly go up hill with their batteries next year hence why we're getting the regular layout next year

#

That’s fookin nice though

#

honestly id love if FE didn’t go to F1 tracks

#

I wanna see FE at tracks like Brands Hatch and shit

pure pecan
#

yep

solar narwhal
#

yea

pure pecan
#

though FE's thing is to go close to the audience

#

hence why they do multiple street circuits and shit

solar narwhal
#

kinda boring with just urban circuits and such

pure pecan
#

it's closer for people than to go to Silverstone or Brands for example

solar narwhal
#

but yeah makes sense

pure pecan
#

nah imo the street circuits are fun

#

lots of risky moves to overtake

#

though i'd love longer races too

#

they risk a lot nowadays bc they only have 45mins +1L

What’s avg lap time for tracks they go around

#

Like around a minute usually?

@sacred geyser fan boost is useless and never actually have an impact in the race, it's useful maybe once per season, so agreed it's a stupid gimmick that they should get rid of, especially considering it's always the same drivers who gets it so there no point in even trying.

Attack mode is like a push-to-pass or like a drs in F1, except it works differently as you have to do like a "joker lap" (generally go wide into a corner) to activate it that makes you lose a few seconds and you have to fight back with your extra power, it generates on track battles and exciting strategies.

I don't think there is a such thing as "not fast enough", there is lots of racing series with much slower cars than Fe who are actually faster than F3 cars.

The reason they don't go to real racing track is because the philosophy of the series is to be road relevant and therefore it's "electric street racing" (their slogan) the whole concept of the series is to race in streets with all weather tyres and real roads tarmac, there is no point for them to go on tracks with special race tarmac with their everyday tyres

it was a weird champ year because Burns won by just survivng rally GB

because it was like a 4 way battle and he just happened to finish the rally while the others didn't

Accidentally got onto the track lul

A Swedish commentator actually has a story of when he and the Swedish broadcasting crew accidentally did the same thing

delicate cape
timber umbra
#

It was ahead of the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix, and they were on their way to the track ahead of qualifying.

#

But for some reason they could not take the normal route to the track from the hotel in their rental car, and one of the commentators back then had spent a lot of time at Interlagos and the area around it so he told them to take a different route.

#

And they were attempting to get to the media parking lot, so they drove this different route and all of a sudden they are on the track before FP3 in their Toyota Corolla..

#

Then they were wondering how they were going to get off the track, and the same commentator who suggested the different route suggested for them to drive another lap around the track LOL

#

So they went into the pitlane, and then they slowly rolled through the pitlane in their Toyota Corolla, next to all the team garages and shit - and then they finally decide to ask someone how to get off the track..

#

And then they finally got out, and to the media parking lot haha
