Formula E

Loud noise from ICE's is a product of WASTED energy.
It compares directly to the pointless noises made by drunken yobs trying to look macho.
A throw back to earlier and much cruder times.

I like the decision of using hard grooved tires. Drivers won´t need to take care of them, when rain starts at the middle of a race luck will have no influence (in F1 you can be lucky or not about how close you´re to the pit entry what can make you climb or fall some good positions), but also there won´t be so much marbles on the dirt part of the tracks, so overtaking should be easier, or at least not so difficult.

First tests with the race battery and full power configuration

Also, first time we can hear real FE sound... and I agree with Agag, I like it!

Sure it´s different, but it´s somehow futuristic, I find it quite cool

Does anyone know when the driver line-ups will start to be confirmed ? Only Team Audi/Abt has been selected. Why have none of the other teams been sorted ? If I were a team owner, I got for publicity and try to get Bruno & Nicholas Prost in the team

Cars look great (Although I look at them and think somebody hacked away at an Audi R10 - right down to the same wheels!) and I quite like the sound!

What is the plan for UK TV Coverage of this series, has anything been announced?

I read the top speed is 220kmph, I think that is fairly good. Not super fast, but more than I was expecting.

Will be following along.

I haven't read the entire thread, but I have an important question... does Bernie have any involvement with this? What does he think of the series?

You should ask Mr Agage he is a co owner with Bernie of Queens Park Rangers.

Hi there,

Does anyone have an idea on the maximum torque of the 2014 MGU? I saw that it was based on the P1 MGU, so about 260 N.m of torque but I wonder if it is slightly different? The torque could be similar to V8 era, which could give nice battle on track!



Also does anyone know if push-to-pass boost the maximum torque of the motor? Or just the max power?

Many thanks,
