Wtf Malaysia round, postponed by 5 weeks. Why you ask?
Can't understand why they would do that.

a request from the office of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak.

Due to other commitments, he will be unable to attend the race on its original date and has asked for it to be rescheduled for a more convenient time.

Formula E boss Alejandro Agag confirmed the deferment, saying: "The Prime Minister has been fundamental to the Formula E Championship racing in Malaysia and, following lengthy consultation with the FIA and local motorsport federation, Formula E has decided to honour the request to reschedule the race."

Yep fan boost is silly.
Sebastian Buemi (sp) set the fastest time in ever session didn't he. He's going to be hard to beat.

First seasons going to be interesting, it's when they build there own things will heat up.

Nice having it all on one day.

Points for pole, is great.
Not sure about fastest lap. On the one hand if your having a bad race you can ditch the race and just go faster lap.

Do many names and teams to learn.

Going to be an interesting day next weekend.

I haven't head of any, and there won't be much spare time. As practice, qauli and race are on same day, with the DJ and music etc as well.

Maybe some electric car demos or something?

I wasn't planning to. Not sure there would be enough interest.

Andretti certainly thinks the technology will mature fast.

Right now, we are going to be going about 25 to 30 minutes with the battery at 130 to 140 miles and hour. Five years from now, we'll probably be going 200 miles an hour with a battery that is half the weight that goes two or three times farther. That is what competition does."

Will be interesting what the first race next season brings and if we see this 30%+ better batteries, some teams have said.
