FIA Formula E Championship

changing cars because they cant do the full race in 1 is silly and really shows the technology just isn't there yet, just like in road cars it only any use if you only drive in city's and very short trips

Inclined to agree.

I do like the Electric bike at the isle of man TT though

Saw something the other day suggesting that they'll be running some half-baked cut down version of the Monaco track too.

What's wrong with the full track? It's not exactly long.

Yep. They will drop onto the harbour side road at turn 1 and head up towards the chicane the other way, then hairpin at the chicane and rejoin the track. No casino square, station hairpin or tunnel in the FE layout.

They are going to be averaging about 50mph too.

So what they've done is chop off the best and most iconic areas of the track. Unstandable with the pit complex being at the other side of the track, but it's still a bit rubbish. Suits Formula E perfectly so far!

Monaco will be even more boring than usual.

I really hope this season is more of a publicity thing and when the car design rules are relaxed it'll evolve into more actual racing on decent tracks

Its like they are deliberately trying to make the series fail! What an utterly crap layout.

The worst part about that track is the path around the park clearly visible in the diagram which actually looks like a decent layout...
