mickey b

i watched a little bit of it and afraid to say it did nothing for me , the cars are too slow with not enough downforce and the drivers are ( sorry to be blunt ) F1 rejects or drivers that are not good enough to get into F1 ,

and there lies the problem ----- if the cars are too slow and the formula only attracts drivers that are not good enough for F1 it is only ever going to be nothing more than a gimmicky kind of racing that will never attract any world class drivers and hence no huge audience figures

------ sorry mickey until the cars become alot quicker that attract F1 calibre designers and hence better drivers i am afraid i cant sugar coat a formula that looks a load of cr/ap to begin with --

The accident between Prost and Heidfeld looked truly horrific and very bad for Nick Heidfeld. If the cars looked a bit slow racing they look quick crashing. So relieved to see Heidfeld fighting his way out of the car after a few seconds. Yes, the "music" was terrible and really off-putting. I am told they apologised for that and not showing Bird on the podium.
Overall though I think there is potential and as soon as somebody races anything with 4 wheels I will usually watch, even soap-boxes.
I'm looking forward to the next races in the series.

Only. Saw. The accident, will try to watch it

thought it was pretty decent

Think a few of those ex-F1 drivers would still be worth a place on the grid, and v.nice to see the likes of Heidfeld race again - still a talent

Heidfeld was very lucky he was not badly injured or even killed . Prost for me deliberately turned into him to cause him to crash . Prost should have been prosecuted for this action & banned from driving any car for 2 years .

I watched the whole program live on ITV4. You can watch it on catchup at https://www.itv.com/itvplayer/formula-e-live-2014-15 available for the next 5 days.

At first I wasn't sure whether the screeching was coming from the crowd or the cars and it tended to get on my nerves after a bit. The cars did seem slow but the crash at the final corner of the final lap between 1st and 2nd looked extremely dangerous. Heidfield was lucky to walk away unscathed. Pity he didn't punch Prost.

All the practice qualifying and racing take place on the same day and all the circuits are street circuits.

I'll probably watch the next one.

Thanks WTCBU, will check it out

silly mistake by prost -- looking to his right never saw NH coming the other side , the fact the cars sound more like a hover mower than a racing car probably didnt help prosts awareness of which side NH was coming up to make his move --
