I would probably watch formula E if it used better tracks , why not use some of the shorter F1 tracks ?, do E cars have to run on flat street circuits, can they not go up and down hills ? It so bland watching all that concrete and guard rails 😕
I think it was to try to find a different audience & therefore commercial marketing rights, but I agree with you the tracks are dire, I like to see close racing but it's more like stock cars at times

I would probably watch formula E if it used better tracks , why not use some of the shorter F1 tracks ?, do E cars have to run on flat street circuits, can they not go up and down hills ? It so bland watching all that concrete and guard rails 😕 I find it quite entertaining to watch although I do agree with the point about bland tracks and rails. There is a Formula E Race ran at Monaco. They use a shortened section of the standard track. I'll see if there is a circuit map showing the difference, but as we know, Monaco has plenty of inclines and drops .... Here's an article about it from 2015 ... www.autosport.com/fe/news/118262/formula-e-reveals-its-monaco-layoutThe track layout that will be used for the Monaco round of the Formula E Championship will be based on the last half of the Formula 1 circuit.
AUTOSPORT revealed last September that a shortened track that ran in both directions on the harbour front was the most likely option for the Monte Carlo event.
The all-electric Formula E cars will turn sharp right after the F1 track's first corner Sainte Devote rather than climbing the Beau Rivage towards Casino Square.
They will then run along Avenue JF Kennedy before rejoining the F1 circuit near the tunnel exit, with a total track length of 1.094 miles.
"The track takes in half of the Formula 1 circuit, which is enough for the Formula E car," said F1 racer turned FE team owner and driver Jarno Trulli, whose only grand prix win came in Monaco in 2004. |
