Probably unable to make it up the hill more than a few times (too much power loss?) or just too long a circuit for them. They are going along the run off from the tunnel/chicane then what is an incredibly tight U turn back onto the F1 track to Tabac.Stupid or worried how slow they will look compared to F1
See the white truck, that's where they will be going, cutting out the hill, then doing the u turn at the end.

The technology is improving all the time, literally month by month. I think the moment they relax the rules and allow the teams to design their own cars you'll see this take off.
They already reckon that within 5 years they will be able to inductively charge the cars as they drive, at least on the slower sections of the circuit or in the pitlane. Might make for some interesting strategy - or at least get us closer to 'Wipeout'.f1321 said:

With oil prices dropping through the floor,I suspect that manufacturers will be less eager to concentrate on fuel savings. For instance, in the US Large trucks and SUVS are suddenly hot. An eco race for petrol heads might not be relevant.
Batteryheads?
Greenheads?
I would not watch an F1 race with the power turned down, and noiseless racing removes a crucial component. Maybe I'm just old.

You think that will stay that way for long dream on as soon as they get bored of annoying Russia supply will be cut and prices will go back up enjoy it while it last.Batteryheads?

Formula e has never said it is trying to be the next f1 its a series to promote and grow development with electric cars which have gained popularity over the last few years so it was always going to happen.
Yes it has some big flaws atm but im guessing f1 did when that first started. When I was younger i used to race remote control cars and these do remind me of that just full sized cars instead.

I do think that prices will rise but it will be a long time before they return to recent levels. Technology keeps on unlocking new sources of supply, and, at a guess, about $75/bbl will become the norm for the next ten years. This is the period in which Formula E has to catch on, not the distant future.Formula e has never said it is trying to be the next f1 its a series to promote and grow development with electric cars which have gained popularity over the last few years so it was always going to happen.
