For the first Swiss E-prix, which btw was the grand prix in Switzerland since the terrible accident at Le Mans in 1955, the company behind the local power grid didn't think they could handle the demands of Formula E. So they used a large Diesel generator to charge the cars

[@hydrasin]

I was one of the kids from a karting association that was chosen to hold the signs with drivers's numbers on them prior to the race in Paris. Once we were there and received our one-off caps and had them signed by multiple drivers, we learned that we will not be here for the pre race show as title sponsor Qatar Airways pressured the organisers to replace us by their stewards. We were, as expected, pissed off. I still watched the race from the "VIP grandstand" and my view was obstructed by trees (that's fun). In the end the only thing good about this story is that I got a 1 out of 24 cap with drivers's signatures on.

[@santicar10]

Hey, I actually used to work on/drive in a series very similar to the Formula E School Series, I want to share some info with you guys. For starters, the cars used in the FE School Series are exactly the same, or very similar, to those cars run in the regional Formula 24 Electric Car Series’ across the world. The cars are designed by a company called Greenpower UK, and schools from across the world buy these cars as kits, and assemble them to race in local Formula 24 events. In F24, an endurance racing format is used, with on a race weekend, there are two races, each an hour and a half in length. Drivers have to run at least 15 minutes in a stint, to a maximum of 45 minutes per stint. There is no practice, and no qualifying, the grid is determined randomly. There are two classes in Formula 24 racing, F24, and F24+. In the F24 class, cars have to remain completely spec, with the only differences allowed in the regulations are the shape of the nose cone. In F24+, however, cars can be modified, but the only regulation I know of, as my school has not participated in the F24+ class, is that the wheels have to remain the same width and length. My school has three cars that we run in races, and like you said, Formula 24 is also just used for inspiring young engineers, not driving talent. Within the team, you have divisions of people working on each car, and drivers are somewhat randomly selected from each group. I wasn’t personally much involved with the building of the car, instead going off on my own and producing a “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” style documentary about the project. I just wanted to share some info about this series, and if you guys have any questions, feel free to ask me in the replies section. Have a great day everyone!

[@SB10_FE]

That’s incredible! Thanks for sharing this with us!

Icebergs aren’t supposed to be made this professionally. Really great job. I knew about a fair amount of these but equally learned a ton as a casual Formula E fan and as someone who works in motorsports. Looking forward to any new videos you come out with!

[@mooreanonumbers]

31:41 One thing that gets often forgotten is that IndyCar had plans for a similar game in the late 90s/early 00s. Ultimately it got canned too. ... oh, and remember in the first 1 or 2 seasons how Formula E kept banging on about how in a near future you'd be able to attend races in VR in the mEtAvErSe before it was cool? With artificial scarcity in terms of seating and all.

[@PunnamarajVinayakTejas]

I disagree with the statement "Fanboost turns competition in FE into a popularity contest". Fanboost is a rather small energy boost, and can make the difference of one position, if that. It only makes a difference if two drivers are rather equally matched.

[@ChrisBigBad]

OHHH! I remember seeing the very first race live or re-live and the commentators were "yea! one of these two dudes will make it to number one in the first Formula E race in history!" over and over again.

[@fadhilramadhan6765]

As time goes by, Gen 2 EVO will goes deeper into the iceberg. Probably as deep as the submarine. Also, if i could add another, I'd include first FE prototype test in London street. I think it was in early 2014 and driven by, of course Lucas di Grassi. It was driven very early in the morning so no one could catch a glimpse of it. The only evidence of it is only a blurry phone capture

[@SB10_FE]

That's a brilliant one, definitely including that if i do a part 2

[@SetsunaTheFandom]

I love the fact that every time Jakarta e-prix is brought up, I always thought about how screwed most, if not all, of the Indonesian racing fans are because their races are used as a political dick measuring contest especially with the new Mandalika circuit started hosting races and political buzzers were acting like it's an everyday Taylor Swift vs. Ariana Grande stan wars. Also, if you're doing Vol. 2, consider this: Lucas Di Grassi's creative interpretation of the Gen 3 car, a render of his vision of the Gen 3 car in collaboration with a 3D modeler I think.

[@Biglmpact]

I was there in Berlin when these protesters got on the track. Boos galore and the security got cheered massively. Some spectators even said they would've been fine with it, if the race started anyway and these people would be run over in a "That's what they get for doing something this stupid" kind of fashion. Compounded by the fact of the at that point almost daily protests of "The last Generation" who glue themselves to streets and Autobahn exits and the anger these actions have caused to the general public, that's some messd up thinking.

[@Starweardo]

Okay, quick tip. The "I can't pronounce this name" joke is funny once, after that, it just makes you seem unprofessional, which is not a good look in a long, informational video such as this. Just practise the names a few times, it'll go a long way in helping you out. I was surprised by the subcount you've got. This is a really well put-together video, and you've clearly got talent. Foster it. I would love to see you grow.

[@SB10_FE]

[@Ali1024]

Excellent video

[@Andy__0]

Good video. I would just say it's important not to confuse power and energy. Power = Energy / Time, and Energy = Power x Time The energy stored in the battery of a Formula E car is essentially it's fuel that you use up. Attack mode and fan boost increase a car's maximum power for a period, increasing acceleration and top speed capabilities, but do not give it more usable energy for a race as a whole. And in Valencia 2021 the cars did not run out of power, they ran out of usable energy. I say usable energy because all the cars still had plenty of energy in their battery, they just exceeded the energy use allowance for the race. And it was miscalculation from most of the teams that caused running out of a usable energy, as you didn't say whose miscalculation it was, although it was a tricky calculation for all the teams to be fair.

[@SB10_FE]

Good shout. I think in a lot of aspects the two words are interchangeable, but i'd absolutely agree that in Formula E, they're completely different. I will be more careful in the future. Thank you

[@Andy__0]

@@SB10_FE Scientifically they are not interchangeable, which is what I was alluding to. Thankfully in Formula E commentary and discussion they are accurately distinguished so the audience is not confused.

[@SB10_FE]

@@Andy__0 Yeah, what I was alluding to was something like batteries. We can say they ran out of energy, or ran out of power. Power is created by the energy, so if you have no energy, you have no power. If you have no power, it can be inferred you have no usable energy. I definitely see what you mean, but it can be confusing sometimes.

I'm really surprised how the ecologically friendly racing series had more problem with the government

[@SB10_FE]

[@SB10_FE]

True. But Gasly was in arguably the best car in the Renault, on a brand new circuit for FE in Brooklyn. That definitely leveled the playing field. And De Vries (who only won 1 title btw) id say wasn’t even the most talented driver on the FE grid. He’s definitely struggling this year, but hey, he finished 9th in points last season while Stoffel won the title 🤷‍♂️

On the flip side, you have Massa who almost won an F1 title do terrible in FE. Gasly got to drive by far the best car that season. Buemi the driver he replaced got 6 race wins out of 12 in that car.
