With Formula E starting this weekend and televised on ITV 4. Do you think it will be worth watching or just another Formula Classic they tried a few years ago?

will definitely give it a try.
Can it be more boring than current F1?

I enjoyed Sunday's F1 race more than any other for quite a while. Lots of decent overtaking. Ok dominated by the Merc engined cars but pretty exciting nevertheless

Like it not i think this is the way to go, Petrol won't be around forever and i think we are better are off embracing the technology now. The more R & D that goes into electric now can only be a good thing in my opinion.

Have seen testing at Donington Park: deffo gonna give it a coat of looking at!

There's a documentary on Nat Geo today at 5pm.
Worth a look.

We don't have that new fangled TV only Freeview, so I will have to wait until somebody puts it on Youtube

As you've said in an earlier post, live coverage on ITV 4 on Saturday morning, also highlights on BT Sports.

Just for those wondering how it will work:

"The inaugural season will see 10 teams, each with two drivers, competing in the 2014/2015 FIA Formula E Championship.
For season one, each team will run four Spark-Renault SRT_01E Formula E cars, two per driver, with the cars/teams based at a purpose built central workshop at Donington Park during the off-season.
From season two, Formula E will become an 'open championship' allowing teams to design and develop their own cars - in accordance to the technical specifications set out by the FIA - and showcasing their electrical energy innovations in a competitive, racing environment."

Have got it set up to record on Sat a.m.

Quite a lot of ex F1 drivers in there: Algusarie (sp?), Senna, Trullu, Chandhok etc, also a couple of lady racers.

The drivers swap cars during a compulsory pit stop due to battery life.

Freer form season 2 should get interesting: so long as it doesn't open a huge performance gap as in F1 between the teams.

Old family rivalry: Bruno Senna and Nico Prost.

The London race at the end of the season may be worth a visit.

We visit Donington a lot as it's just down the road from us: the new E facilities are impressive, and it's brought some much needed investment in paddock facilities.

We bumped into Karun Chandhok at the circuit recently: wot a really nice bloke: chatted for ages about F1 and Formula E.

really enjoyed the race!

What a finish

Will definitely watch the season; as all are in the same car the driver's skills have much more influence.

Like it!
