Codemasters Staff Britpoint Posted January 10, 2015 Codemasters Staff Share Posted January 10, 2015 Formula E have been really good so far at fixing the issues that pop up race to race.I think for next time we can add Safety Car restart procedure to that list!

Renault would probably take over e.dams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevolvingPrawn Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Disappointed that most of the drivers I like either had issues or got buggered over. Hate one of the drivers on the podium, dislike one, only know the others name. Quite happy for Senna though, may have had more contact than he should again but 5th ain't bad! Another great race for Formula E. Started off a little quiet, but after Chandock took the corner normally and had his suspension ruined by a curb it was crazy till the end. Really looking forward to seeing how FE developes over the next few years :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator MBKF1 Posted January 10, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well what a race! I said it on Twitter but if that was a Formula 1 race then that would have been classed as a classic I reckon! Incredible excitement in the final few laps.Real bad luck for Buemi, di Grassi and Heidfeld all to go out from the lead! And yet again, problems for Vergne in the final couple of laps!This championship is fab, can't wait for the next few races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator f1since08 Posted February 19, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2015 There's been an extra race added to the calendar, Battersea Park will now hold the final race of the season on the Sunday after the London ePrix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codemasters Staff Britpoint Posted February 19, 2015 Codemasters Staff Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm certainly hoping to! A 2 race weekend means I need to think about staying in London overnight though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukedfrt Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Anyone else watch the race?Was probably a mistake having it on the same weekend that F1 returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolvingPrawn Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Lukedfrt said: Anyone else watch the race?Was probably a mistake having it on the same weekend that F1 returns. I did bud. It was ok, the 4 races before this were better I thought but I was glad to see a lack of sausage curbs.There's a few things that niggled me though. The studio to circuit format just doesn't work, it's really really boring and I tune out most of the studio parts and end up browsing the net during those parts, they need to get into the paddock and wander just as Sky and BBC do with F1. And they need a different director, 5 laps into the race they cut to too many replays of the start, then a shot of a garage, and missed something like 3/4 laps while Bird and Vergne were battling for the lead. Plus whenever they switch to the helicam they really must mute the audio from it and use trackside mics instead, the high pitched hum was annoying enough to make me eye up the volume button on my remote more than a few times. It's just a bunch of niggly things really, but it's also things that make the presentation seem really amateurish and silly. Though I guess it'll improve over time.So, racing wise it was ok, not as dramatic as the first 4 races though, and the presentation needs some real polishing minus Jack Nicholls and Dario Franchitti who seem like a good team in the comm box, and an honourable mention for Nicki Shields too.

Lukedfrt Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah, pretty much agree with all of that. The replays of the start were annoying while Senna was using Fan boost.And i really like Dario Franchitti in the commentary box. :# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator f1since08 Posted March 15, 2015 Moderator Share Posted March 15, 2015 Jack Nicholls is turning into a really great commentator. Considering he just made his mark last year he hasn't done bad at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codemasters Staff Britpoint Posted March 16, 2015 Codemasters Staff Share Posted March 16, 2015 How good was Scott Speed? The second half of the race in particular he came alive, absolutely great to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I was actually pretty impressed with him! I went from "Meh, he seemed kinda weird in F1" at the start of the race, to cheering him on for the win by the end :p Though the fact that I dislike Nico Prost a bit after his first round move on Heidfeld might have played a small part in that ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevolvingPrawn Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Buemi on pole, should be a pretty sweet race on the Long Beach short circuit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator MBKF1 Posted April 4, 2015 Moderator Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah it should be a good one, yet again!I don't know whether to stay up and watch it or whether to go to sleep and watch it in the morning. I usually stay awake until midnight and then get ridiculously tired and that's when it starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
