A fan vote let some race car drivers go faster than others

I hate popularity contests. But I love things that go fast. So I'm pretty torn on this weird rule.
Formula E races have a fun, extra component to them where fans can vote to decide which race car driver gets a speed boost during the race. It literally pays off to be popular, which is a shame in my book but is a nice way for fans to stay connected in the sport.

I think a lot of people totally miss the point of the “attack mode” thing because Formula E has, admittedly, marketed it awfully. The whole point of attack mode is that they force you to take a decidedly SLOWER (or harder) route through a portion of the track in exchange for an advantage elsewhere in the track that the driver chooses when to use. It’s strategic

[@glockmat]

Since FE doesnt have pitstops anymore, makes sense that attack mode exists, but fan push is just idiotic

[@martintuck7915]

Hahaha it literally is. What these guys didn't understand is "attack mode" aka "party mode"/"full beans" in formula racing is when the car goes as fast as possible irregardless of fuel or tire wear that may occur. "Party mode" or "full beans" is way more confusing than attack

[@brianbethea3069]

I mean, the attack mode boost lasts for several minutes after going over the strip instead of just one second like in mario kart. It actually was a really great addition to formula e imo. Adds a big element of race strategy that was left missing with the removal of pit stops.

[@Razz415]

...part of using it is yelling 'Wahoo' as you hit the boost button. If you don't, you hit a banana peel.

[@RileyJane7]

Weird rule suggestion: In Aussie Rules football, they used to have a rule where playoff games could end in ties and if they did, they would have to come back the next week and replay the whole game which pushed the entire playoffs back a week. They finally changed this in the early 1990s by implementing overtime, but only because of it affecting the scheduling of future playoff games. Because of that being the reasoning, they determined the Grand Final could still end in a draw which it did in 2010 between Collingwood and St. Kilda which forced them to replay it the next week. They didn't implement overtime for the Grand Final until 2016.

[@dylanmorris1175]

[@romiarkan450]

That rule also exists in the English FA Cup (a football/soccer tournament). It's a single elimination tournament, first of all. Any games before the semifinals that end in a tie will be replayed. It doesn't necessarily push the schedules back, but it creates fixture congestion.

There was a rule in F1 that fits here. "Only the top X results counts", aka, "You can win the most points overall and _still_ lose the championship".

And then it was, happily, buried 3 meters underneath the ground and banished for good.

I'm pretty sure you guys can find material for an entire season of Weird Rules just from baseball. Examples: bunting foul with two strikes is a strikeout, the batter can try for first if the catcher drops the third strike, if a batter foul tips a pitch into the catcher's glove it is not an out unless the batter has two strikes, the evolution of the strike zone, the batter can run through first base but not the other bases, check swings, balks, ball thrown out of play and the bases awarded as the result, etc.

When I was in 5th grade I went door to door selling magazines subscriptions for my school. Sure, it was an obvious child labor scam to earn money for the school and magazine companies, but if I sold enough I got a killer pair of sunglasses. It worked. I went door to door and, goddammit, I earned some sunglasses. Fan boost seems to me like the Formula E version of getting drivers to do some door to door sales. If being popular is strategically advantageous in a race, it encourages drivers to do more press, be more likable, be present on social media, etc. In a new sport that's dying for visibility, it seems like a pretty smart way to motivate its drivers to get out there and advertise for the series. And, seeing as how there is now a video on SB Nation about Formula E, it appears to be working.

[@AureliusR]

If you actually watch Formula E you'd be surprised how well those two things integrate into the race. It adds more strategy in a race which often doesn't need tire replacements and also doesn't need refueling. The part they left out is that you can only use attack mode twice per race, it's typically only on one corner (so you need to plan when to use it carefully) and you actually have to use both attack modes before the end of the race or... You're docked points or disqualified or something? I can't remember the punishment. So timing of these things makes it really interesting.

I think you really should have noted that All drivers are required to use attack mode. The number of times they must do so and the duration the boost lasts for varies from track to track (Berlin was twice for 4 minutes each time) and because you have to lose time (and potentially spots) to activate it, you really are going on the attack immediately afterwards.
