Formula E

[joker_josue]

Hello guys,

Do you usually follow Formula E?

What is your opinion on this category of motor sports? Do you think there will be a future?
This year, for the first time, it is an official FIA event.

Who do you think will win the race this year?
I wish it was Da Costa, again.

The only Race sport that I follow much is MotoGP, I do not even follow Formula 1.
I did even hear about Formula E due to the political issues in my country related to this Formula E.
It can be a future but I doubt it can be as popular as Formula 1.

Formula E, has several more interesting elements that involve fans.

For example, during the race, drivers can activate 2 or 3 times, extra power, at any time they want. Creates a lot of animation in the classification.
Another interesting thing is the FanBoost. The 5 most voted drivers are entitled to x seconds of extra power. Then, it's up to the pilots to use that extra when they think it's best.

Do you usually follow Formula E?

As a Formula 1 fan I've watched (parts of) a couple Formula E re-runs last year. I liked them although I don't know all the rules yet. And clearly not the drivers/teams yet.
So maybe in another year I'll be able to give an opinion about drivers and teams

I must confess that this is the first time I've heard of Formula E  Between Formula 1 and Formula E, which one is more common? When I talk about races, I often hear the Formula 1 or Moto GP. Strictly speaking, I don't seem to have had access to any information about those tournaments in my country.
Maybe I can hear some information here lol  keep my eye here

Right now everyone apparently have their bets placed on Daniel Riccardo , the guy has the best odds and at the same time you can find few sites where the F Erace Betting are available but in many places its ofc limited. I do not follow it as such but I do sometimes watch a game or two but for every regions there is a lot of limitations and some people do enjoy the live racing so they even prefer betting against local racing.
The future of betting, well it's already here, there are indeed bets being placed and at the same time I do think that is in the future we will have many options but not just limited to the F E but rather they will have a whole different section regarding racing games.

F1 is the most common, F E on the other hand despite having some advantages over F1 is not that notorious. I do think it is all a matter of choice plus there are restrictions in many countries.

I sometimes watch it but I am not hyped by it at all.
I like more the F2, I don't know why but it is what it is.

I don't think we will ever have a fully electric engine in F1 (we have more and more rumors about talks of the V10...)

[LTU_btc]

I watch Formula E races sometimes, but I don't follow it as closely as F1. But there is some things that I don't like about it. First, it's sound of engines. These cars sounds like vacuum cleaners and I can't stand this sound. I prefer V12 or V10 sound, but even current F1 engines sounds better. Second, they never race on proper race tracks, just on street circuits which were made for weekend. But I think these cars are just too slow for proper tracks like Spa or Monza. And finally, almost on every race we can see when some drivers runs out of battery and can't reach finnish on last lap. Personally, I don't like to see when it happens.
Also, there is some strange things like attack mode. It sounds good on paper, but to activate it, drivers have to go out of racing line and waste time.
What I like about Formula E that races here is not predictable, there is no obvious favorite like in F1.

As someone who grew up watching Formula 1 as a kid, watching races of Formula E makes me regret of not wanting to be a race car driver haha. But I watched a few races and their concept is really awesome and unique as compared to the other racing games. Imagine, most of the racing games have a pitstop lane in order to service the car but in formula E, you go there to change cars!

What is your opinion on this category of motor sports? Do you think there will be a future?

The fact that there is a category of purely electric cars in which there is also an active population implies that there is a future in this category of motor sports. Some of Formula 1 drives even started as a Formula E drivers!

Electric car race. I have small information about this when reading it on wikipedia

I'm expected if the casino will put that Formula E on the bet it will get the more player to watch on race.

I wish it was Da Felix, again. 

He is a good player who has migrated from gp3, and he had 1st place on the Macau series podium on gp3 series 2012. In the current session, he must get more points to defeat Nyck de Vries.

[YOSHIE]

I wish it was Da Felix, again. 

The last time the Formula E race ended in China, Beijing, there were not many who were interested in Formula E racing, it also looked very wasteful from the engine, emissions etc, notwithstanding the Formula E races, which took place in the decade of the electrification of individual/single electric motors.
FE racing can also be said to be classified as special on cross-racing, only they focus on performance.


Talking about Antonio Felix, indeed he is a talented Formula E racer, having a lot of success in the Formula arena, however, I saw in one of the interviews Antonio Felix Da Costa, race this time Felix Da was very excited to break the existing record, strong motivation because he saw Lewis at the F1 race at that time, this could make FD excited, I also believe Felix Da can do his best this time.

That no longer happens! It was only in the first three seasons.
Now the same car is used for the entire race.

The idea is to be the driver to manage the car battery in the best way, in order to reach the end in the best possible situation. That is why normally the final result is practically clear only on the last lap, from the first place to the last.

For example, if the car that is in tenth, has more battery than the cars that go in front of it, it is more likely to overtake them. The drivers have to know how to manage the whole race very well.

In the case of Attack Mode, the pilots to activate must leave the normal trajectory, but then they have 3 minutes of extra power.

Thank you very much! But unlike you said, the details in the image say that Formula 1 is completely superior to Formula E. Am I wrong?

It is really the first time I've heard of such races. Electric car hasn't really become a popular vehicle yet, so I never thought there would be races on it. But if it's a race, I don't think there will be a difference between the two genres 

[michellee]

I do not follow Formula E, but sometimes, I watch Formula 1

I also watch Moto GP. I do not know the difference between Formula E and Formula 1 until I read about @fiulpro reply. Formula 1 is more popular than Formula E because some of my family members like to watch Formula 1.

I agree, it's definitely not motorsport. I've already been to a Formula E race, completely uninteresting, with a Carrera track and friends in the basement you have more fun.

But why do you think it is uninteresting?
Have you ever watched a Formula 1 race live?

Ohh I did not know about that!

Well, that goes to show about my knowledge and general information about Formula E. You can clearly judge and tell that I do not follow their latest news and races altogether. Nevertheless, I still do think that the concept behind Formula E cars are unique in a way that it has some elements of competitiveness just like in Formula 1.

Like what you have mentioned, I dream of watching a Formula 1 race live. I honestly think that the experience would be so surreal and exciting. Getting to witness firsthand the cars and the roaring engines would make my "inner kid" scream to death. How about you OP, have you watched a Formula 1 live race already?

[Fortify]

I've started to follow it lately and watched a few races. It seems to be the future of motor racing and will probably replace Formula 1 altogether in a few decades. Makes a lot of sense really as battery technology is progressing so far and so fast, that was always the obstacle in the past. Even tech like recouping energy through the braking process is going to give drivers a tiny edge. It's good in the wider sense because a lot of pioneering technology advancements will pass between Formula E cars and road sports cars. The march of electric powered vehicles seems inevitable, as long as the environmental affects are worth the renewable energy sources they can harness, compared to extremely wasteful fossil fuels.

They look the same cars, its just that Formula 1 comes first, and many didn’t follow Formula E that much.
I’m not into a sports car racing, but I do watched some Formula 1 race before, and until now the intensity is still the same. There’s a lot of on-going race in the world over the past years, Formula E gain the attention at first and still working to hit the good market, this maybe look uninteresting but there’s also a serious racer playing on the track with Formula E, and that’s the best so far.

Unfortunately I have not yet had the opportunity to watch a Formula 1 race live.
I liked it, I'm also a fan.

In the case of Formula E, of course it is inferior to Formula 1. But, I started to like it basically because of the concept and the effort they make so that the public can almost interact with the race.
Of course, there is still a long way to go. Mainly because it was only this year that it became an official FIA event.
