    F*cking hell...that's two wins he's lost to DQs. :o

    And both times it's Jerome who inherited the win. Illuminati?

    Watched the end of qualifying and it was a little mixed up, which was good

    Da Costa stripped of his pole due to low tyre pressure!!! This is F1 on 'e'.
    Antonio Felix da Costa has been stripped of pole position for the Faraday Future Long Beach ePrix, after the tyres pressures of his car were found to be too low.

    3e is also showing the race live.It on there now. It seems to be American commentary not sure. I prefer ITVs coverage but if I watch it on 3e I can pause and rewind.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    The usual Formula E commentator is working for BBC radio on Formula 1, so this American commentator was drafted in. Sam Bird had a nightmare.

    I loved that fact it was 3e. Was a lot easier to watch last night when I was bed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    So Team Aguri are parting ways with Aguri Suzuki while talks are on-going with new investors. Watch this space, hopefuly F-e doesn't lose a team where no deal can be reached.

    Aye, is interesting alright. They changed drivers today already and gotten rid of Salvador Duran and put in Qing Hua!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,684 ✭✭✭Charlie-Bravo


    I noted the change in drivers for that car alright so perhaps your Ma has a major Chinese company backing him and could be the new investors??? Sure that's how he got his run in GP2 plus testing in F1 for both HRT and Caterham with the Chinese commercial backing.

    So it's Formula e this Saturday at the Paris ePrix track - one of the best in the world (so FIA President Jean Todt says :pac:)

    So where to watch:

    On 3e from 2.30pm
    On ITV 4 from 2pm (may be geo-locked on Virgin) but free-to-air on satellite!

    Also available on Youtube streaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/FIAFormulaE

    Here's the track layout (interesting pit lane with a hairpin - full lock anyone?!)

    paris.map.jpg

    And a video of the lap (forward to 1.00)



    The lap looks fairly basic, but hey, long straights for towing up behind drivers - and some corners that'll catch a few people out!

    It's times like these I realise how cringeworthy Formula E's theme song is. :o

    Am hoping the race in Paris is a good one but agree that the track layout looks very basic but hopefully it will make for a good race.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Looks like this Paris track might be good the Qualifying certainly looked exciting lots of mistakes and incidents even a small crash in it. Heres hopping for a good race.

    Peace and long life.

    God, why do I keep forgetting this is on a Saturday... I guess it's easy to not notice or remember the races since they're all one day affairs, so there's no big weekend buildup like in, well, all other motosport.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,381 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    Found it hard to make out the track, all sort of looked the same, fell asleep during race so not sure if it was any good


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,295 ✭✭✭✭AMKC
    Ms


    @ Ghost Train. The race started of ok but then got kinda boring as there its not really any room on the track to pass but then there was a full track yellow so a car could be removed fro the track as it had developed a drive problem and the race got a bit better until a small crash 5 laps from the end and after that it was the safety car for the last laps. So it was a average race certainly not the best race maybe it will be better there next year.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    I remembered that it was on yesterday morning and then remembered that it was on yesterday afternoon - just as it ended. I was the exact same last year. :o
