Formula E

[AakZaki]

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.

~snip~

Actually I don't really like it, but I often hear about this race. I just heard and know that Formula E uses electric cars, it seems that they are trying to reduce air pollution from car exhaust. Besides that, maybe this is a future resolution, with the depletion of petroleum fuels. Amazingly, I read that this car is also capable of accelerating to 100km / h in just 2.8 seconds and can reach speeds of 280Km / hour. The components that make up Formula E don't seem to be as complicated as Formula 1. Apart from that, my country's original plan was to hold it for 5 consecutive years, but this is still a polemic. For 2020 the plan was in June but all failed due to Covid-19. For 2021 I haven't heard of it.

Yup, me too. Through this article, I learned about the existence of formula E. But I hear a lot about Formula 1 and its disadvantages. All the technologies and engines in Formula 1 will be restricted in the community. Formula 1 requires specialized tools and parts, and since it is very expensive. I think formula E will be superior someday, because it's better than formula 1

Formula E has evolved a lot. About 3 times ago they had to change cars, because the batteries did not last a race.
But now the battery has lasted the entire race.

It is also attracting several renowned brands, such as BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes and DS. And there are other brands already as observers.
There is a huge margin for growth.

Formula E has evolved a lot. About 3 times ago they had to change cars, because the batteries did not last a race.
But now the battery has lasted the entire race.

In recent years, I have read many news about battery development, both in terms of capacity and usage time. Perhaps it has improved the quality of the Formula E race 

It is also attracting several renowned brands, such as BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes and DS. And there are other brands already as observers.
There is a huge margin for growth.

I wonder where Elon Musk and Tesla are in this race. Tesla is one of the leading electric car manufacturers in the world. It would be strange if they didn't get into this field. Is Elon Musk more interested in Bitcoin than in brand races?

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?

Fomula E is for me completely uninteresting and boring, after Formula 1 make also downsizing is also not so interesting, the last years bevor corona i watch every year live MotoGP and there is unfortunately also Moto E and that's between real Motorsport also boring.

I have watched a few Formula e races and I like it, its different, different rules and tactics.
If you compare it to Formula 1 of course there will be a  massive difference.

I have watched Formula 1, MotoGP and WSB in the past and I remember times
when Formula 1 got so boring from the same people and teams winning almost
every race.

The fact that top manufacturers are giving it more attention says a lot.

It may be hard to focus more now on beautifying the race due to pandemic but they can use it as a way to entertain more those into race by using this kind of e cars. Some may not enjoy the formula 1 but this e version seems to be more interesting due to quality of speed they provide that can make the race more advance.

That's right.

The focus is to increasingly involve fans in racing, called as: E-RACE
Not all the racing in Formula E takes place on the track. At every round of the Championship is the E-Race - a virtual competition taking place in the Allianz E-Village, where drivers battle against the fans on simulators, that replicate all the action on-track.

You mean Formula E because of the manufacturers? For me it's like the electric cars - you just have to be there as a big manufacturer whether you want to or not. It's nothing for me I grew up with real motorsport 500 cc and V10 / V12 with Mick Doohan/Gerhard Berger that was still real motorsport for me. In Formula 1 you should reintroduce refueling then you could also use more tactics, but the last few years have been very boring in Formula 1 so I only watch MotoGP live.

[Luzin]

but the last few years have been very boring in Formula 1 so I only watch MotoGP live.

I've heard about Formula E, but I haven't even seen it on television. If i see above, the car is similar to F1 but Formula E uses electric fuel. But I am happy because it is more environmentally friendly and I think it will be a little quieter because there is no noise from the pot. Regarding the rules, I have never heard whether it is similar to F1? If it's the same this might be very tedious. Therefore I agree with you that MotoGp is ​​more interesting because overtaking often happens.

they can make the race laps and race tracks shorter for the battery to fit instead of adjusting the car and its battery because that saves more time and effort .

or

It may be hard to focus more now on beautifying the race due to pandemic

the pandemic can give them an excuse to take a brake and improve the cars . this should give them enough time and the moment pandemic ends they will came back with a new and improve model .

Hello guys,

I follow Formula 1 every year and obviously I end up reading something about Formula E out there.

With the popularization of electric cars, this category of motorsport should also gain more and more highlights, attract larger audiences and incentives (sponsorship) from BIG companies.

But for me, it isn't just the speed that matters, because nothing beats the thrill of hearing the roar of a combustion engine, Formula 1 will continue to reign for a long time.

[mu_enrico]

I've just browsing about this Formula E. I thought this would be F1-like racing with electronic cars. But what are these attack mode, fanboost, 45 min race, etc.
By the way, the cars are pretty slow tho. IMO this race won't beat F1 anytime soon and only used for e-cars marketing.

Not all the racing in Formula E takes place on the track. At every round of the Championship is the E-Race - a virtual competition taking place in the Allianz E-Village, where drivers battle against the fans on simulators, that replicate all the action on-track.

This is also the reason it's more about marketing, and not about beating F1.

no not just because of the manufacturers. I imagine there is growing interest in
the sport just like there is in electric and hybrid cars, as battery technology
advances its going to be more and more the norm.

but the last few years have been very boring in Formula 1 so I only watch MotoGP live.

Ah we cant compare MotoGP to any other motorsport, nothing else like it.

[hahay]

I didn't know much about motor sports and even more prestigious motor sports like Formula 1 I wasn't interested. Even so, I only take part in the racing event from the MotoGP title and I really like it. But speaking of Formula E racing whether it is good for the future or not, I think it will be fine because this is a place for riders to channel their hobbies as well as provide them with income. Therefore, I think it will be fine because everything is well managed and also, at least this championship has been running for at least the past 5 years.

[dothebeats]

Formula E is an interesting motorsport category although a bit boring at times. If you are a mechanical geek, you can appreciate how the engineers and their drivers are managing to reach breakneck speeds on such machines while also keeping their battery in mind that can deplete much faster than your normal fuel in Formula 1. Though the speeds are quite slower on Formula E than Formula 1, I think they are already doing a great job in promoting electric cars and showcasing that these machines, too, can perform well on the track. With the rising popularity of electric cars currently, I can't see why Formula E can't get a share of the motorsports viewership in the future.

Oh and yeah, it will be fun to watch the F1 greats ride and race their hearts out on Formula E cars every so often, if possible.

[VanityWallets2015]

What is especially interesting to see is how the transition would go from Formula E to Formula 1. First from E to Formula 3? That racing at Formula E is also very fast, only because it is electric you hardly hear those engines. That makes it less sensational.

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 Felix, again.  

There is not much hype about Formula E like because other races like Formula 1 in cars and MotoGp in bike racing is more common name among gamblers.

Formula E is the brainchild of FIA President Jean Todt and Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag, who first developed the idea in 2011 and it's market of electric racing which is interesting to watch.Porsche has recently announced its commitment to the Gen3 era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from Season 9.The new Mini Electric pacesetter of John Cooper range has been declared official safety car of the tournament.

It will interesting to watch how well the drivers will perform this season like Sam and Roobins.Its interesting to watch Formula E if you liked it.

[joker_josue]

Regarding the rules, I have never heard whether it is similar to F1? If it's the same this might be very tedious. Therefore I agree with you that MotoGp is ​​more interesting because overtaking often happens.

The rules are different. The focus is very much on the driver and his battery management, so you can never predict with certainty who will win the race.

It is very common for races to be won by different drivers.

And a driver may be in the first part of the race, but due to poor battery management, he will be slower in the final part. Then comes the pilot's expertise in whether or not to maintain the possibility.

[aesma]

I haven't watched yet. But I just found out that a Frenchman, former F1 driver JEV, is a two-times FE champion, so that has peeked my interest.

The problem is that there are so many Formula 1 races already, it takes me a lot of time as it is.
