Nice video, for the onboard cameras they should use graphs to see when they´re breaking or hitting the throttle


When I see this picture with no refrigerating holes at all there´s a word that comes to my mind, but I´m not sure what it is in english... sleek? slippery?

Definitely odd without engine noise but sweet nonetheless.

Vettel slams Formula E

So he is retiring then?
Well I suppose his performance this year supports such a decision.

Just a few questions? Why Formula E cars have high noses and F-1 doesn't? And why huge sidepods?

You´re kidding, aren´t you?

Chasis are from Dallara

Just speculating, but they have to comply with same crash test as F1, that could be a reason for the sidepods, plus they want to cover the wheels as much as possible... :?:

Formula e just completed their first simulation run. Cars looks really pretty with big variation between teams. F1 better watch out.

Formula e has now got all the ingredient to succeed actually. F1 drivers women drivers nicer looking car, less restriction, green image. It's a matter if time that it will get big manufacturer like BMW Toyota etc attention since Audi sport abt is in it.

I won't be surprise redbull will join them next season.

Having the ingredients for success does not automatically mean success. The championship hasn't even started yet and it's already claimed that the dominant force in autosport that is here for 70 years already should watch out. You don't just knock a superpower from it's throne in one day.

Let's see if it can even get past 5 years, because that is something new autosport categories seem to be having issues with.

Yes, it doesnt guarantee anything, but I can surely see the potential and threat of FE on F1 due to its relevance to the automobile industry trend, the marketing appeal those guys have put together. Woman drivers, low profile wheels, great aero design, technology etc.

After watching the video of the car zooming around it really does make F1 cars looks a little dated.
