All the technical penalties are a disaster though. And not Abt DSQ because he didn't have the correct sticker. F1 must laugh at it sometimes with some of the oddities of this series. The silly "dramatic" music that plays at the start of the race and when their lights system went down it just kept repeating. Your first weekend back FE and you manage to cock up the entire start and put them behind the SC. If this series wasn't promoting a clean green electric future (thus the interest of top drivers and manufacturers) I don't think it would have lasted 4 seasons. |

The spins from a low grip surface are expected, but they pull moves which in another series would have you penalised. And this, forcing your way back into the pack after a spin would have you sent home from the circuit in most series. These are all professional drivers, and they drive like they've never sat in a car before.

Local fans thinks the current Hong Kong track is to dull for racing even though some challenging overtakes occurs during the weekend

There's rumours that the Sao Paulo race could be replaced by Punta del Este!

Montreal Formula E race cancelled by Mayor
Montreal’s Mayor has cancelled the double-header which was set to serve as this season’s Formula E finale over the $35 million cost to the host city. |

Or, maybe they could consider this suggestion of using Downsview Airport? http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....7&postcount=21 While not as close to downtown Toronto, it does now have a new regional train (GO Transit) and subway station right there at the northwest end of the property, and presumably could provide better viewing locations than the street circuit, while likely not requiring as much annual set-up work after some initial repaving. The airfield is owned by Bombardier Aerospace, but perhaps they could be encouraged to allow it to be used for a Formula E event by the federal government, who recently provided the company with a large interest free loan.

Montreal spent a few million getting custom made concrete blocks. The entire Paris event only cost $5m. Montreal soaked up half of that making barriers. Of course it was cancelled - it was miss-managed so badly that someone should be sacked and potentially prosecuted for the decisions made.
As great as the Toronto circuit is, FE won't race there. They use these tiny little interesting tracks to be different and to hide the speed of the cars. It's very clever, but they'd look silly on track with IndyCar. |

I suppose Circuit ICAR is somewhat comparable to the Berlin Tempelhof Airport circuit used by Formula E, but being almost 40 km away from Montreal is probably not what Formula E wants. The Formula E website now shows TBA where Montreal had been on the schedule. I have no idea if that means they may be hoping to quickly add another race to the schedule as a replacement. http://www.fiaformulae.com/en/calendar |

I believe FE was offered the use of the Montreal F1 circuit and turned it down. |

Formula E will no longer implement a minimum pitstop time during races this season.

there isn’t a single scenario in which that’s a good idea.

Do they still have car swaps? If so, then this will end so so badly.

Following the cancellation of the Montreal races, a possible schedule addition may be "a track in the UK", or expanding the existing Punte del Este and Berlin Tempelhof events to each have two races, according to Sam Smith of e-racing365.com .

Why is vernon Kay presenting this? It bothers me that he still can’t pronounce franchitti, most likely because he’s never heard of him

Look at the Dragon fly in the hands of Lopez, putting his track knowledge to good use.
