Bottom post of the previous page:

2020/1 Formula E Entry list released.
The official entry list for the 2019/20 ABB FIA Formula E season has been released by the governing body, ahead of Mercedes and Porsche joining the grid.

The 2019/20 campaign will feature FE’s biggest grid to date with 24 cars, up from 22 last season when HWA was added the field as a Venturi Racing customer outfit.

HWA’s entry is replaced by the factory Mercedes effort as expected, with HWA continuing to operate the race team on behalf of the manufacturer.

Mercedes’ driver line-up for its debut season in the electric single seater category will be revealed at the Frankfurt Motor Show on Wednesday.

Porsche formally launched its first FE car with a livestream event on gaming platform Twitch last month.

The team will field Andre Lotterer and Neel Jani as its first FE drivers, with the team being led by a unique four-person management structure.
Full entry list:

Audi Sport ABT

BMW Andretti

Dragon

DS Techeetah

Envision Virgin Racing

Jaguar Racing

Nissan e.dams

NIO

Porsche

Mahindra Racing

Venturi Racing

Mercedes

Simona de Silvestro, who has been a full time V8 Supercars driver with Kelly Racing for a few years has been appointed Test and Development driver for the new TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team that will debut in 2020.. She has dabbled in the category for the last few years. Not known whether she will continue in V8Sc at this stage, although she combined V8s last year with Formula E testing duties for Venturi.

Andre Lotterer and Neel Jani will race what Porsche has dubbed the ‘99X Electric’ in its first full season in Formula E, for which official pre-season testing takes place next month at Valencia.

Couldn't be bothered to start a new thread since no one really cares about FE, but Abt has been sacked from his Audi drive for letting an E-sports pro take his place in the latest Virtual FE race.

@MonteCristo your back yard b-b-q's sound like fun. Remind me to virtually attend the next one. :mrgreen:

Hmmmm, Attack Mode, Fan boost, plus all the trimmings for the show depicted by said trailer. And we wonder why the whole Formula Milkfloat thing turns out like. watching a sim game replay. Make that an arcade game replay. :wink:

They are trying hard, but the mickey mouse circuits they use, circuits which make Monaco look like the width of the pit straight at Monza just dont make for my idea of good racing.

But then im old school and dont need (or even like) to see cars flying through the air because the tracks (most anyway) are so narrow contact is inevitable, and have hairpin turns so tight the wrong line needs a 3 point turn. And call me old fashioned, but I still like engines that go brmmm-brmmmm rather than weee-weeee. :wink:

..... but then im sure that the Gen whatever they are up to now and nearly ten years into it im sure they have now ironed out all the issues..... :sarcasm: :whistling:

But I say that every year and I still seem to end up watching (with fast forward lets get this over with quickly type help) at least one race a year to check the progress, and dare say this year will be no different.

I too prefer them, but I could deal with it if the rest of the product wasn't so goddamn contrived.

I think the last race of the season is toninght when the have the second race to Mario 1in Seoul above. I think by that by winning the redflagged and restarted race yesterday Mitch Evans has kept himself in with a chance of the title.....championship leader Stoffel Vandoorne’s advantage was sliced to just 21 points with one race remaining. So he has to still be the favourite and just needs a good finish. If there is justice Vandoorne will win it.

I think they use the stadard FIA25 points ftw scale, but then have 3 bonus points for pole and fastest lap points. But its far too complex with fanboost and all sort of other contrived things.

Apparently thr final race starts in 30 mins. I wont be tuning in....., happy to read about after the event or watch the highlights..
