50 THINGS You Didn't Know About Formula E 

Tbf took F1 68, 2018 was the first time

@@SamOGr Well, qualifying is also a bit more fair in F1.

Rr45pjp n9bzn

Toto is boss for merc FE aswell

one is competent and the other is toto wolff /s (both are great)

@@chilli-_- yes but not really in charge in FE operational on daily basis, basically just higher up

I liked this video primarily for the footage of McNish running.

@@jribakove I do not enjoy RU-vid videos without people running with purpose

And Dan Ticktum

@@BDSFormula1 I hope Nio are more competitive this year, otherwise we aren’t going to see a lot of him.

Gen 3 look so futuristic, I definitely want to get a scale RC car modeled after them :)

Why are they so weird about it? Seems like regular people would not settle for that and demand them to unban it, Motorsport is a globally loved thing

What sim do you use?

@@pants7241 Assetto Corsa formula lithium as the mod is called, the cars are so fun there ahah

because there is no point, nor is it possible to electrify other series on conventional road tracks, be it F1, WEC, DTM, WRC, etc, unless they use FE style tracks that are made for braking regen. Batteries are simply not energetically dense enough to be used for any 'circuit' track

@@wongyewxuan3880 Again: If that is true anyway, then why do you need a contract for it? Also, do you realize, that the Year 2039 is 17 Years in the future? Look back 17 Years (one year prior to the presentation of the Tesla roadster) and compare it with current EV-Tech. The only commercially available EV I know from that time had a top speed of 55mph, a range of 75 miles, rechargable in 4 hours. The EQS does 300 miles quick and comfortably and charges back to 80% in 30 minutes. Then take into account that *serious* EV development hasn't startet until 10 Years ago. All in All I'm convinced that the tech is developing quick enough to be fit for GP Racing in ten Years not 20 and it could be a great proving ground for new Battery tech. Oh, and by the way: DTM is in fact switching to electric in 2023.

@@kooooons bro i suggest you read up on battery chemistries. unless the world has a revolutionary breakthrough in stable battery chemistries that are 30x more energy dense than what we have today, all electric racing on traditional circuits will not be a thing. DTM is going for 30 min sprint races. not a full length f1 race the exclusivity contract is so that you wont have 2 different series trying to develop the exact same thing; its more efficient to combine the guys into 1 category for development.

@@kooooons the gen 3 FE car could probably run the full monaco circuit, and maybe singapore without S2. but those will be the only 2 tracks that will be remotely possible. Traditional circuits just require too much throttle

@@wongyewxuan3880 "Read up on battery chemistries"? What do you think how simple of a topic that might be to ask a stranger to just "read up"? The people working on these often spend the better part of their professional lifes reading up on these! As long as you're not one of them I highly doubt that you are in a position to judge if these Breakthroughs will or will not happen. I don't believe i can I just know there are some of these people out there that seem to believe it will happen. Look at it like this: The gen 2 car has 92% more capacity at just 18% more weight. Gen 3 will have 27% less weight at basically the same capacity. Thats a 2.6 fold increase in energy density in less then 10 years with probably a fraction of the budget, that each F1 Team has. There are a handful of concepts that might or might not be realized in cars and that hold the potential for your suggested breakthroughs and even without these alternative concepts some experts are still talking about doubling energy density in near future. And your argument about focussing development on just one series rather than multiple also doesn't work for me - for one because if that was true, it wouldn't make sense to have more than one series for ICE-Cars to begin with and also because - amongst other reasons - more people independently working on the same thing makes the parallel realization of different concepts possible and therefore pushes innovation. In other words: I understand your statement as: Because FE is not capable of doing big GP races right now we should keep the budget and personnel for R&D low. I think that's not a good thing and should not be pointed out with pride like done in the video.

They can't. It's too long. Look it up in the regs.

Yeah! I'm waiting this

Fun fact, The reason that rule exists in the first place was because of that race. Before that race the rule never said you had to be in the points, and it would have stayed that way without this championship decider.

@@AlexChong22 I know! But other categories had this "point/points per fastest lap ONLY IF YOU'RE IN THE TOP 10" rule way before! GP2/F2 had it for many many years, Formula 1 has it since they reintroduced the concept in 2019, etcetera etcetera. You simply can't have a title being won this way, it's embarrassing for the sport, for the category, and especially for the drivers, exiting the pits during a freaking race to make fastest laps and also taking away the focus from the race itself! Who remembers the winner of that race, huh? It was Nico Prost, but I bet few fans know that

@@KimiMTZ17 and formula 1 had a championship tampered with by its governing body. formula 1 has had multiple cases of drivers taking their opponents out to win a championship. DTM had an one race ruin an entire season with team orders. These things happen in every from of sport, this is one of the less embarrassing moments in racing...

I use my regen basically as brakes, so it really varies from turn to turn, and scenario when and if regen is used. Also very steep hills, pushing the limits to pass, taking chances, etc

I totally agree, this sport could advance humanity immensely with battery innovation potential. Currently (and for a long time) a lot of cutting edge battery technology was first introduced and tested on the RC car community due to the ease of adoption and small production numbers required to get data, much easier with smaller but very high performance machines, a very vocal community, and extremely wide range of environments and use cases within RC. The batteries and motors we see start hitting the consumer goods markets (power tools/appliances/etc) 5-10 years after they are introduced to RC. It’s a great thing to be a part of and I hope the best for Formula E

They did a dlc for rFactor 2 I think that they used for the virtual events during the plague. Other than that they only seem to be in the arcadey games like Forza and Project Cars 3... A shame really. I'd love a full sim.

Codemasters and EA. xd

Apples and oranges. 2 different races altogether. However, I do enjoy FE because there's much more 'racing' going on. Strategies are made on the fly, teams are much more involved, and there's much much more overtaking, and bumping and aggressive racing.
