Quiet a good race so far. There has already been a crash and to be fair if it was me I would have giving Lucas Di Grassi a time penalty of 10 seconds for a dangerous move.

Really. There has already been two crashes and plenty of close racing. What more could you ask for?

Looks like a mechanical failure, he had full left lock on and nothing was turning

skipper_G

That was a nice clean pass by Evans. Good stuff

AMKC

A pity it has to end under the safety car.

Ghost Train

A few safety car periods, bit weird at the end

little bit of action but nothing too thrilling

I was making lunch so had to watch on the TV as opposed to the usual online streaming - holy fúck, 3e's coverage was abysmal. Randomly cutting to ad breaks here and there in pre-race; go to ad break towards the end of FCY when all the pit-stop time madness was being discussed and missing the restart; and then just cuts off completely in the middle of the trophy presentation to Lopez, because Uploaded is totally more important viewing.

And Formula E block their Hd youtube stream because this exists. I've given up on FE because of it.

I agree totally with you on that it is a disgrace. I miss watching it on ITV they always done a good job. They did do it a little better for the Monoco race do. They showed the full trophy presentation for that race.

Ghost Train

Berlin eprix started at 15.00 on channel 5

TheChrisD

Forgot about this until about Lap 20... Wouldn't be too bad if we could set reminders for the online YouTube stream but noooooooooooooooooooooo, because we have 3e's terrible coverage we're stuck with alternative streams.

Ghost Train

New track layout? Seems good
Another race, round 8 on tomorrow

kopite386

I missed it until lap 30 today so looking forward to round 8 tomorrow, I won't be able to watch live but at least when I catch up I will have the whole race there

Double race weekend from NYC this weekend.

Races start 9pm Sat, 6pm Sun.
TV coverage is 12.15am Sat, 5.30pm Sun. Apparently BB and Love Island are far too important to displace on 3e, while be3 is too busy showcasing Miss Marple and some chick flick

Channel 5 in the UK is also playing race 1 with a 1 hour delay. Surely they have to lift the YouTube block for this.

Who knows maybe 3e's highlights of it will be better than there live coverage. Can,t be hard to do.

This is TV3 we're talking about, there's no way they'd have the sense to make their broadcast more fan-friendly.

Charlie-Bravo

Formula e should commit to ensuring that fans can watch live no matter where they are. If a broadcaster is delaying the broadcast, then it should not be geo-blocked on YouTube. That way, it'll make the broadcasters show it live and they want to have the auidence watch their actual channel.

TheChrisD

FP2 geoblocked. Dear god 😑

Ghost Train

Not a bad race

Ye its still terrible.

Race two of the New York E-Prix will start soon. Its on 3e now. Race has not started yet. Its a very tight track. Think today's race might be even more exciting than yesterdays.

Harika

I think they are slightly stupid at 3e or what do they wanna tell me with the ad break 5 laps before the end and no full course yellow or anything. Great some team order missed
