Last one in London, or last one, ever? Wikipedia suggests that 2017's season is already planned, if a bit sketchy.
Good, I went last year, it was rubbish, watching it on tv now, it's rubbish, I have seen Breyer go-cart tracks

Might be in the minority here, but that was a great race!

I went last year as a vip guest with Virgin, race was still rubbish, food and drink and the bash at the millbank tower were good

I've barely watched any formula E but caught most of today's race. Don't see what all the fuss is about; it's not bad at all.

Heading in to London tomorrow for the finale, thought I might as well as I've got nothing else on and it might be my last chance. Just hoping I can catch the F1 somewhere.

Whichever one of the two gets the points for fastest lap wins the championship.

Di Grass is on track, currently behind the safety car. Bueno is in the pits, laptop plugged in, getting set up with qualifying spec with everything turned up to 11 or maybe 12.

We have dozens of fantastic race tracks around the country, Formula E is headquartered at one! I don't see the point in buggering up a city centre to host a race no-one wants to watch anyway.
The problem is that the cars are so slow and have such a limited range that they'd look completely ridiculous instead of just a bit ridiculous, hence they deliberately run on mickey mouse, narrow tracks to try and make it look more impressive.

Maybe in the future they'll be able to run on "proper" tracks but for the moment they'll have to stick with what they are doing.

Funniest thing is the team named E Dams.

Cheesey.

Racing isn't up to much.
