Any Formula E Fans Here?

I'm not expecting many on here are as the racing isn't the most exciting and the change of cars halfway through a race isn't the best endorsement for EV cars.
First of the Season 4 Formula E races this weekend in Hong Kong and the first podium in 15 yrs for Jaguar Racing



Personally for me its my 40th race car and 1st EV race car I've helped to create

In a few years the FE championship has gone from privateer teams to automotive manufacturer teams, this year there is Renault, Audi and Jaguar, Next year when the races use one car per driver Mercedes and Porsche will join in too.

The manufacturer interest in the championship is creating a development war which will hopefully feed down into the battery, motor, invertor and software technology of the new generation of EV road cars.

I enjoy the pace/challenge of a good motorsport development war and was fortunate to be in the thick of the action between 1995 to 1997 when GT1 Le Mans/sports race cars went from being built from converted road cars to ending up being balls out racing cars homologated for the road.
