Formula E

and some great manoeuvres.

After 4 races (full races, this time) I can say that although it's fun to watch, and also intense (!), I still prefer Formula1.

I think that the biggest problem is the track: it's narrow and it has walls, not allowing enough room for maneuvers. Also the fact the car performances are basically identical (imho) contributes to this.
The attack zone rules are interesting, but nowhere near the pit strategies from F1.

I think it would be difficult to offer odds and make bets on these races.

I don't know it there would be many crazy enough to also bet   (it's more like dicing, really)

Yes, the probability of victory is very varied. There are always a good number of drivers capable of winning. It is a test with many factors that can give or take points.

The attack zone rules are interesting, but nowhere near the pit strategies from F1.

If the plans that are foreseen for the 3rd generation cars, foreseen for 2022, the strategy of the box will come into play.
It is planned, the cars will be more powerful and this will force you to make at least one stop in the box, to make a battery charge super fast.

Interesting news. Then there's hope. They are advancing, and rather fast.
I'll keep an eye, although most probably won't watch all the races, not yet

Yes, the evolution has been fantastic. In addition to being good for competition, it is also good for the consumer market.

Its different to F1 for sure but there would be no point creating an electric F1,
FE has to be different, and that difference makes it a different spectacle and
interesting in its own way. The racing is close and competitive, everyone has
a chance to win where as
in F1 its a select few.

Interesting, There are certainly technologies being tested in FE which can potentially
make their way into production cars.

Another weekend with Formula E.  
It will also be a double day, with a race on Saturday and Sunday, in Valencia - Spain.

"The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship heads to Valencia’s Circuit Ricardo Tormo for Rounds 5 & 6 of the 2020/21 season, with Formula E’s long-time test venue making its debut on the calendar proper - marking the series' first races in Spain." by Formula E
https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/live/preview

It will be the first race done entirely on a track, instead of on a city circuit.

Round 5
It was an exciting race, especially in the final part.
Despite being the first race, made on a track designed for this purpose, it created a level of difficulties higher than expected.

There were several accidents, forcing the safety car to enter several times throughout the race.
And because of that, the driver Da Costa, who led the race until the last lap, ended up not being able to do the best battery management (as well as almost all the drivers) and ended up losing the race, getting in 7 place.
It was totally unpredictable, but an exciting race.

See a final summary here:
https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/2021/april/valencia-e-prix-round-5-report-de-vries


Tomorrow round 6, on the same track. Let's see how it goes.

[LTU_btc]

Rain and wet track made these race chaotic. There was safety car on the track maybe 5 times. But things that happened on final laps were something ridiculous. After all these safet car phases batteries of cars were adjusted and many drivers simply didn't had enough energy to finish. Here is how it looked:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pOVO4KOjh0
Only de Vries on the top had enough energy and drvers who chased him knew that they will be disqualified because they nned to have more than 0.0% energy in finish. So, in the end, driver who didn't even finished was classified on 10th position and got point.
I don't think such things is good for Formula E. But it was good to see them racing in real race track, not city circuit, even if there was layout adjustments.

It turned out not to be pretty to watch, but the rules of the race dictate that whenever the stafey car enters, the power is reduced. It is up to the pilots to do a good battery management. I think there was a failure in the communication, because it was the idea that everyone was waiting for just one more lap, and there were two more.

This was the first time that it happened. Either way, since there were a lot of teams affected, certainly the teams and drivers will push the organization to adjust these rules, especially when there is little time left for the end of the race.

I agree, that this is not what they want for Formula E, to have half of the cars without battery, because of the power withdrawn by the organization. When most pilots are not to blame. It is one thing for the driver to mismanage energy throughout the race, and to run out of battery. Another is because of a stafey car, running out of power.

Round 6
It was another interesting race, calmer than the previous day, with no accidents.
It was a race where the drivers / teams used a lot of strategy, since they were all very balanced. An error could jeopardize the evidence.

You can see the official summary, with more details, here:
https://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/2021/april/valencia-e-prix-round-6-report



The next race will be in Monaco, on 8 May 2021.
We hope it will be an excellent race.

[NeuroticFish]

It was good to see races on proper tracks, but that part with battery running out was moronic and I blame FIA/the organizers for that. They miscalculated it and took out the fun of it.

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.  

Well according to Wilkipedia Formula E was established 10 years ago

Formula E, officially the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship,[1] is a single-seater motorsport championship that uses only electric cars. The series is promoted and owned by Formula E Holdings. In 2011 it was conceived in Paris by Jean Todt at the FIA, and the inaugural championship commenced in Beijing in September 2014.[2] It is sanctioned by the FIA. Alejandro Agag is the founder and current chairman of Formula E Holdings.

Yet did not accumulate supporters more than formula 1 who's whom i Love watching since i was a Boy.

so asking if this may has a future? then forget about the politics and lets see.

They followed the letter to the rules, claiming that the drivers and teams had been warned before the race, of this possibility.
But, it seems, they are already analyzing this part of the rules better. It was something that affects many teams. Let's see if there will be any changes.

Ten years is still something new for a test of this level. Despite being recent, it already has a good level of fans, where we can already see the major car brands competing and this year it has become an official FIA event.

It has been a competition, which has evolved a lot in these 10 years. And if the plans for the 3 generation of cars, come into force in 2022/2023, as predicted, will be a huge leap forward in the evolution of the race.

They should. And they should have been doing that earlier. If there would have been one more safety car, then nobody would have finished?!

[AicecreaME]

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.

Same here.

Not a fan of formula racing cars because I think driving a 4 wheels is not that hard compare to driving a motorcycle where skilss is really needed when taking corners, since you need balance and the right speed to utilize the exact force (in your body) you need to make it work.

While in formula race (electric cars), much easy to maneuver since it's 4 wheels and their tracks is not that curvy compare to a motorcycle racing tracks. Formula cars might be faster than motorcycles but motorcycle racing competition is much entertaining to watch, in my opinion.

But with the speed requires to maintain the momentum? lol 4 wheel drive is harder than you thought .

I am a fan of motorcycle but i also respect the 4 wheel drivers specially in formula 1 race.

But the question is will they have a brighter future in Gambling sportsbetting?

What do you mean, the Formula E tracks are less curved than those of the Moto GP?
In Formula E, there are 90º curves. Authentic elbows and several tight chicanes.

If you say that the corners of MotoGP are faster, I agree.

But the question is will they have a brighter future in Gambling sportsbetting?

In the case of Formula E, being very unpredictable, it is difficult to predict the final results. This can make betting more risky.

That's right, formula e is the car of the future. In mass, an oil-fueled car will be eliminated. I am sure there will be gambling regarding formula e cars. The stream of development and change will begin and it will happen. Even though it doesn't seem that exciting at the moment, it's because this race is quite new.
