Well here I thought Formula E was going to be fun to watch, then I see this.

Formula E gets big boost from global TV deal with leading F1 broadcaster Fox

"There are ambitious plans to enhance the digital aspect of the series. A video game is in development that will allow fans watching TV to race in real time with the competitors."

That's really cool.  Sounds like something PD would do.

"Also, the racing cars will have a power-boost function to increase passing speed, and fans will be able to vote when it is used during the race."

How absolutely :fucking stupid.  You get to vote for your favourite car to go faster?  reality TV meets racing.

This track looks familiar.


Also, check out the Michelin tires in the first pick. They are low profile and that is what they would want to supply to F1 if they became the tire supplier. The thing is F1 rims were limited to 13" diameter to limit the brakes. Of course the engineers defeat that by using carbon carbon brakes. F1 brake system

Prost in the last turn on the last lap show a complete lack of respect for his competitors with a classless move that could have ended much worse than it did.
