I thought it was me but i saw very little overtakes on this more realishtic circuit. The difference between normal and attack mode is marginal on long straights. Those modes work more in narrow 90 degree corners sprint to the next corner i think.

Tried watching but wife kept making comments about racing golf carts. She drives an Audi and commutes 50 miles each way to work. She's not impressed by this racing series at all.

@ahxshades In terms of watching it, unfortunately FE have signed an exclusive deal with TNT Sports (the rebranded name for BT Sport), so it now sets back UK viewers £30 a month (which can have just one race in at points) just to watch it.

I follow a website called 'f1 calendar com' tells you all the dates for different events. Quite good for seeing what is on at the weekend, and especially what times race starts at.

Looks like the 40'000 + k people at the circuit knew that there was a race weekend!
Maybe the problem is in the UK?

This - absolutely this - no idea where to watch it in the UK now, not seen any advertising for it either.

Hopeless. How do the intend to attract and retain fans ?

It's a typical symptom of many FIA series at the moment. They never want to finish an investigation during the race, and will typically wait hours afterwards before announcing the outcome of any investigation. On some occasions its valid, but many of them seem to be easily resolvable during the race.

Just because someone's crossed the line first you still never know if they're actually the winner or not…

Nobody seems to be doing anything with Attack Mode. Teams seem to be finding it a disadvantage instead of an advantage…
I have been watching Formula E with interest since the start. But I hope this will not become the trend of a series "growing up"…

You would think that part would be called potentiometer or any such.
