Paris...Another farce.

yes, it is bumper cars.

Maybe the German round can provide some mature racing because track is less narrow red provoking garbage?

I've tried watching FE several times, but I can't stand the way its presented on TV. It all seems so chaotic. It's more of a show than a race. I hope they never do that to F1.

Also my wife and I cannot stand the sound. That whine is enough to give me a headache. Sounds like over grown slot cars.

The sound is horrible. My brother asked me the other day how the drivers can drive the car with that annoying noise in their ears. What is the source of it by the way? I thought EVs are pretty much quiet vehicles

As a gearhead I'd have thought you would appreciate some gear whine. Guess you're more into just the whine part.

They should change to spoked wheels, then they can put a strip of film negative to touch it and give a nice noise, like I used to on my bike when I was a kid.

Very interesting posts above...

Paris was a tipically chaotic urban race under the rain. What you usually would call a great race with tons of action and a driver beating the field under difficult conditions if in F1, somehow same in FE is seen as a farce...

I wonder what else is needed to consider a post trolling sincerely

It was a great race, with Rowland making a big rookie mistake in dry conditions at first lap, and then Frinjs leading the rest of the race with full autority. There was some awesome recoveries too like Vergne who went from the bottom of the grid to 6th and some others causing several collisions, like Dambrosio and again Rowland

Fun race to me

They ran into each other how many times?
Real show of driving talent and ability to shine in the wet.

The amount of contact between race cars expands to fill the tolerance available from the stewards. If Max Verstappen was racing those cars on those tracks with those stewards, then he would have as much car-to-car contact as the FE drivers.

Seriously Bill? That's what you really think? I disagree.

Like most urban races under the rain, specially with no open wheel cars

Also, this has been first FE race under the rain ever (apart from some damp track in first laps of first race this season) so both teams and drivers had zero experience in the wet with any FE car, this gen2 or the previous. It was a first for all of them


They all are experienced drivers and teams, a good percentage come directly from F1 (drivers, engineers and team managers), ask Mercedes, so if you think they are lacking talent I suggest a reevaluation

I see has beens and wanna bes
