McLaren to enter Formula E in 2022/23 Season

Post



Exciting news for McLaren fans, and makes FE a more attractive product to watch. McLaren now have teams in F1, FE and Indycar, a fantastic declaration of intent for the brand as a whole.

(Admins: feel free to move this to "other racing series", but as it's an extention of an F1 team I thought this was a suitable place)

That would complete the big 4, probably on the agenda for the future once they build up the business side again through these 3.

Big question is now, will they really join FE or sponsor an exciting team to run under the McLaren name (as they do in Indycar)

I’m still unlikely to watch FE even with McLaren in it

I just cant bear to listen to the sound the cars make, a cross between a vacuum cleaner and someone scratching their finger down a chalk board. Really grates on me

I don’t really mind the sound as much as the racing itself. I mean people are rear ending the car in front in the braking zones and still continuing on after that as if nothing happened. I’ve had better racing etiquette at local go karts.

Maybe I’ll give it another go with McLaren in it.

They already won that, so no need to go back is there?

Yeah true, well F1 is what Mclaren is, so should always be there. Indy I guess is down to Zak, I guess he pushed for that one. Can't see them in Le Mans unless its jus a GT class.
