Not sure that this is really a genuine reason to dismiss the championship altogether... If anything, a heavier car could improve the quality of the racing - heavier car = bigger braking distances = more scope for outbraking manoeuvres. Also, they will have less grip through the corners as a result of the weight, so may make them a bit more of a handful, which is rarely a bad thing in my opinion.

A short demo race could actually help us to judge
![]() For me, given that the cars will be rwd and will have a lot power, it could be an interesting combination. And the big difference with FE is that they will race on real race tracks ![]() |

Has there been any hint on how much a car like this would cost? I also wonder how easy it would be for small, private teams to operate.

Initially I think it will be out of range of the private teams. For me the nosense is that a car like the Cupra has no link to an electric road car. The philosophy is there but it won't match any road going car. It would be just impossible to buy a car like this for normal people. Okay that is a racing car but its commerciale counterpart, ipotetically how much would it cost? ![]() |

With this cost per car what sort of series can exist? Perhaps something with works teams but like TCR no way

It uses a spec powertrain:

By using a spec powertrain it's maybe technically less interesting for manufacturers but a cheap way to get involved in "green" racing.

Cheaper than a GT3 car... So not too bad for cutting edge tech.
It would be great to see in Australia. I thought the video of "Formula E new car testing sounds" was comical (sounds like a dentist's office) but cutting edge electric racing may be just the ticket to get young people interested in motorsport, literally motor sport too! None of that engine nonsense. Hmm, I wonder if they need to use a diesel generator out the back of the pit garages to charge the things, owing to lack of three-phase power outlets in pit garages... That would be amusing. lol lol Last edited by V8 Fireworks; 30 Oct 2018 at 12:00. |

I believe Formula E generators use some form of bio/green oil which is therefore a renewable
