WTF Moments in Formula E (Part 2)

[@bangkokstallion]

Formula E is like a whole field of rookies squeezed onto a track too small for the amount of cars

[@jackscott1036]

iracing in a nutshell

[@kibe2134]

That's... Exactly what it is.

[@ChasingChampionships]

A lot more fun than watching max verstapen win every race by 40 seconds 🙄

[@kart3347]

Not like, is.

[@nicestoriesnottherealstori3006]

The thing is next there are 4 permanent race tracks on the schedule.

[@aj_killjoy]

Credit to Nyck for moving his car off the track by hand. Absolute legend

[@fadhilramadhan6765]

He wanted to keep the track clear from one big debris

[@gamerzone0764]

@@fadhilramadhan6765 ahhh I see what you did there

[@Smoneey]

Nah that shits unsafe

[@mavairick]

@@Smoneey Yep, if someone came from behind, expecting a fully stopped vehicule and had this slowly moving car with a man on it's side, woulnd't be good. If by any kind of bad luck they made contact or crashed into them, he wouldn't be in the safety of his car. It's cool to "want to help" but other racers should be able to dodge a stopped car with yellow flags out, you can wait for the steward.

[@void_snw]

@@mavairick literally earlier in the video you see that's not always the case, and these drivers are good enough for that small difference to not matter either way. Only person put at risk is himself.

[@sirisoj]

2:30 "ok now kiss" 😅

[@Bubbles23XI]

2019 Mexico E-Prix is one of the greatest finishes in FE history. Wehrlein would’ve lost the race anyways because he received a penalty for cutting the corner. Still, he led all but the final lap.

[@Lumakid100]

That had to be the worst way to lose a race.

[@alensmit3664]

Still 2014 Beijing ePrix is the best ever finish without any doubt. And had huge impact on Nick psychologically (Putrajaya, Buenos Aires, Punta del Este and Miami ePrix races added a lot of salt to his wound).

[@laa0fa502]

I love the roar of the engines but something about these are so fuckin cool

[@superninja252]

its like RC cars but faster and cool looking

[@soisaidtogod4248]

Every second of Formula E is a WTF moment

[@alexmckoy3478]

HE DEFENDING LIKE AN ABSOLUTE... WIDE DEMON..!!! ) 0:45 (formula e is so insane i love it)

[@superninja252]

I watched Formula E in São Paulo last weekend, and everything was cool The fact they race in street courses mostly (i wish we had more street-ciercuit only series), the way the cars look and the São Paulo track still ooks great (shame indycar had drop it out) and tbh people only hate it beacuse it is EVs and people are afraid of something new, but the series by itself is fun a lot

[@ykm205]

Formula E as it is right now it's just not serious. Cars that still struggle to develop each year with a lot of common parts running street courses because it's all they can afford to do.

[@CharlesJohnson-yd1yg]

They run street circuits to spread awareness about climate change

[@manomanu89]

2:33 "are we about to kiss rn?"

[@neosonixyz]

Formula E is so epic this season, wtf moments already but also great battles and close finishes plus a pretty strong grid

[@Dat-Mudkip]

The "all weather" tires they use are honestly not really good at doing that.

[@d9zirable]

More like "some weather"

[@jedlin1256]

They changed them to rock hard Hankooks. however they have only fraction of Michelin's grip

[@alensmit3664]

Well in their defense, the NY E-Prix pile up happened with severe worn out tires in very end of the race. The huge gust of rain just dropped into braking point after long straight which surprised the drivers. Seoul E-Prix pile up is just drivers underestimating how damp was that part of the track and the problem was severe lack of run off area in place where drivers carry a lot of speed. If there was Mortara like incident like in FP3 in Diriyah it could lead to severe crash with a lot of consequences.

[@mingau2358]

in that race the michellin tires were already worn out, it is part of the regulation that the tire lasts the whole event.

[@ClebyHerris]

3:35 i was there! It started raining really fast and that venue was kinda really bad. Glad it’s not on the calendar anymore. Not enough seats so the tickets were expensive

[@sergei73073II]

I hope the race (I forget which) where almost everyone ran out of energy is in part 3. Great job Nisky Frixon!

[@dislexyc]

It was in Valencia 2021 or something like that

[@szandorthe13th]

yep Valencia

[@charleshollinshead]

race 5 season 7

[@mk_annan22]

Valencia 2021. During covid lockdowns

[@8thlvlMage]

I love the Goldeneye 64 music at the end. 😂

[@suicidalbanananana]

Mario Kart meets BeamNG :P In my opinion Formula E is a lot more action packed compared to Formula 1 & i really hope they keep growing the sport, its great to watch and i kind of feel like the drivers enjoy it more then those in Formula 1 too, i feel like there's less pressure on the drivers because its all a lot less expensive and a bit less dangerous, wich leads to them being bolder, wich leads to great racing battles. Thanks for a fun compilation!

[@mk_annan22]

Finally, someone mentions BeamNG. And yes, BeamNG should create mods for Formula E 😁

[@antz350]

I cannot get over how quiet they are lol but they do have some great battles

[@tgis]

In Person they are not that quiet as you might expect, as the tyres are going thrtr

[@SkampyMAN]

I gotta say, I´m a huge fan of F1, but the formula E is not bad at all, let´s just ignore the vacuum sound... the racing is awesome, surely some rules were weird, but still the action in there is awesome, 1 thing I don´t like is the looks of gen3 cars, there gen2 were miles better

[@superninja252]

i like the LED details on gen 3, i wish gen 2 had those tooi

[@YourFavouriteDraugr]

FE's entire existence is one big wtf moment.

[@SeraphsWitness]

I'd be shocked if Netflix didn't do a spinoff series of "Drive to Survive" for FE.

[@Fireglo]

I mean considering Formula E has yet to have a single fatality it's not really driving to survive is it?

[@SeraphsWitness]

@@Fireglo "survive" is not a commentary about life or death. It's a commentary about the cutthroat nature of the business.

[@Fireglo]

@@SeraphsWitness but it's not really cutthroat in Formula E. Most of the drivers there are drivers who weren't good enough to race anywhere else. They've literally had 6 cars all crash on the same corner.

[@SeraphsWitness]

@@Fireglo well duh. It's just a name, I don't care what they call it.

[@Fireglo]

@@SeraphsWitness but the "drive to survive" definitely refers to the danger. F1 isn't really that cutthroat. A lot of the drivers last for a decade.

[@ollieminecraft]

formula e is the pinnacle of motorsport

[@serch_1x]

This felt like a meme compilation lmaoo

[@SuperNASCARrocks]

1:48 ARCA Brakes

[@JDT-Loadsamoney]

More like 3:49

[@Amy40Puerto]

The formula e kinda looks like a indycar but without the spoiler and obviously electric

[@BradRains]

4:00 HOLY SHIT!

[@MillywiggZ]

Do you have to provide the engine noises yourself or something?

[@edwardking9359]

Engine noises aren't really the point of motorsport, since sound is wasted kinetic energy. A perfectly efficient combustion energy would be silent.

[@kylehagertybanana]

lol they put range anxiety in formula e

[@recboy4354]

This needs an video game

[@megacup3977]

I think that at minute 3 it's the fault of the blue-black jaguar car. What the jaguar did was a late lunge, and did not even reach side by side, he had to slow down.

[@darkwarriors...]

They might now sound cool or drive cool but you cant argue they look cool personally cooler than f1 cars maybe not old f1 cars but definitely compared to today

[@xfreja]

2:17 idk why this is making me laugh 💀💀💀

[@yeetskeet691]

In F1 Manager 22 I was managing Ferrari, and Leclerc ran out of gas like 200 meters right before the finish line. It was a piss off, I was screaming!

[@Fireglo]

I missed out on the Constructor's Championship in F1 21 cause my car kept dying on the last lap. I restarted like 5 times but it kept happening.

probably if you suffer a crash, you have the right to cut it idk

[@chris_mk5supra]

so the race is about the first going flat on battery, what a stupid competition XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[@satariel8652]

hmm no, its just like fuel in F1, if you go empty you lose, the idea is going fast without finish with 0% battery, because you lose, there the driver that go 0% finish 2º because lose his power.

[@chris_mk5supra]

​@@satariel8652 you can run at decent speed with fuel and not at fucking renault clio speed like this.. fuel is fuel and battery cell don't equal to another battery cell,n they are garbage this look ridiculous, have to have they own circuit cuz they are SO FUCKING SLOW, it's just fucking boring, it could maybe be great but seriously ...

These tracks are just way too narrow and the packs are way too close

[@AnimilesYT]

I don't know what happened with Nyck after pushing the car away. His heart was definitely at the right place and what he did was safe iirc. But it could easily have been an unsafe situation which is the reason why a driver isn't allowed to make these decisions. After all, a driver doesn't have all the information required to know if it's safe or not. Since Nyck was new in the series at this point and since he didn't cause an unsafe situation at that particular moment I think a serious scolding should be enough. After all, it really hurts when you're trying to help and then get told that you shouldn't have done that...

1:57 Nurburgring 2007 tribute lol

[@DaytonaPrototypes]

Maybe Formula E shouldn't drive in the rain.

[@lewis8552]

That incident in Korea was more down to the drivers having a bit of a collective brain fart. Apparently they couldn't see well and most of the drivers are conditioned to follow what's ahead of them in those conditions. The first driver misjudged the braking so locked up into the barriers and because the guys behind were using him ahead as a marker of sorts they also misjudged the braking distance. Very stupid incident. New York was just a sudden unexpected downpour mixed with all weather tyres that had worn down to slicks

[@FrosteeWusky]

I blame Michelin

[@philosopherking506]

I was at the race in Brooklyn 2022. The two clips from that weekend were the result of a sudden downpour mid-race.

[@guguigugu]

its because they have no grip, they just slide everywhere

[@superninja252]

@@guguigugu Eletric cars have more torque thus less grip

[@edwardking9359]

​@@superninja252That's not really how cars work. There's a reason you have an accelerator pedal, rather than just a switch. As long as you don't put too much torque down too quickly for your tires, more torque is always better

[@MadIIMike]

FE shows how people telling you of something being "the future" are full of shit. I mean, it's kind of a fun parody but even Formula 3 has better racing and that's a feeder series to the point where like 2/3 of the field are in their first season.

[@edwardking9359]

That's not the electric cars at fault, that's the rest of the series. If they raced on normal tracks in a normal style, they'd be much more similar to other formulae

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

Even my vacuum cleaner sounds better.

[@Coootane]

Not a lot of talent in formula E 😂

[@thicccheese4007]

Formula E is pretty much ARCA. Full of kids trying to get attention from a F1 team in a series trying to be its own thing. Rather than showing off talent they create unintentional comedy with their lack of talent which is why they’re stuck in Formula E instead of F2
