Codemasters Staff Britpoint 4 Posted November 23, 2014 Codemasters Staff Share Posted November 23, 2014 Another really good race. They have no right having such close races around these really tight street circuits, but so far so good!I like that they dropped the formation lap as well. It was a bit of a joke in the first race and it meant they all had a bit more energy to use this time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator MBKF1 91 Posted November 23, 2014 Moderator Share Posted November 23, 2014 I watched the hour highlights programme which I way preferred to last time when I watched the full live coverage. It was a good race! The circuit was decent and provided a good overtaking opportunity, and completely dominant by Sam Bird. I'm really enjoying this new championship so far.Apparently the viewing figures were very low though, kind of unsurprisingly given the early start time and this race wasn't as well publicised as the last one in Beijing.

Yeah the novelty factor had worn off quite a lot. And the early start time, as you say. And it's being somewhat overshadowed this weekend by another motorsport event...A perfect storm really. I'm grateful the wait to the next race isn't so long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus the January race is less than a month later, so it's something to look forward to whilst there's no F1 :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tommig1995 0 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 We were wondering if Vergne would, but how did we miss this? https://twitter.com/AndrettiFE/status/543449218661490688 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gui1 0 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I would be very mad if I was Vergne. What you need to save the most? 2013 Formula 1 tires or Formula E batteries? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Formula E batteries! Gutted for Vergne, but great stuff for his first race. And those god damn sausage kerbs, they have to go. Ridiculous how many incidents those things cause, so just remove them and add a rule that a driver may get a 5 second penalty for corner cutting more than twice.

Codemasters Staff Britpoint 4 Posted December 13, 2014 Codemasters Staff Share Posted December 13, 2014 I actually quite like the sausage kerbs. or at least very high ones. Not everywhere, but in certain places. They made the last chicane in Montreal a real challenge, it was thrilling to get through there even just in time trial on the game. Now they're just a little more friendly...Although maybe that's a one off. On the Formula E circuit they were probably somewhat unnecessary! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RevolvingPrawn 1 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 For me though, the fact that twice this race drivers had suspension failure from bumping over the damn sausages says they need to be shaved down at least. And for Sam Bird, soon as he bumped the sausage he had no chance of saving the car, seems pretty unfair in my book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they should just be be romoved seeing drivers retite after running just 2-3 meters of line is bad although its easy to criticise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
