Must be like racing a postie bike with that almost centrifugal clutch acceleration out of the corners
There is no doubt we must change but imho I find generating power from what was once waste is way more sexy and I wonder just how long it will be before sub one litre hybrid engines are the norm in motor sport apart from America of course.
Something does not seem right here... Both of those units are awesome, yet somehow the series cars missed the mark... It's almost like they were desperate to use a gearbox...
Good pick up woodsy, not sure what Garth was getting it in the original footage, must have been trying to keep temp in the fronts...

They say, any day you wake up not dead is the start of a better day than it could be...

It's interesting that Drayson - who is one of the biggest supporters of the format - just sold out of his Formula E team. I don't know if any reason was given but it's not a great endorsement for the sport.
"If we can hit that bull's-eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate!"
Actually looks pretty fast. I feel like it needs some kinda noise though, even some electric motor noise. I guess it does, but just can't hear it over the wind noise.
Just seen #FormulaE trending on Twitter and it looks like the marketing strategy is working; a lot of people at Donington today queuing for the pitlane walk:
