It's a double header in Berlin this weekend. I can't for the life of me find it in any channel listings?

Can anybody let me know where it's being shown?

Ta

Highlights are on ITV4 on Monday 14th at 8pm.

Not found anywhere airing it live. Even TNT Sports is just highlights.

Thanks. Yes, that's what I've found.

The TNT website shows it available live, but I'm guessing that's streaming through Discovery +.

It's proper pants if so!

Indeed, it's a mess.

ETA: Formula e YouTube channel may be streaming it live.

Formula E unites with Marvel for Fantastic Four London E-Prix

https://fiaformulae.com/en/news/755407

Formula E’s signature ATTACK MODE - a strategic feature that gives drivers an extra power boost during a race, requiring them to drive off the racing line and through a designated ATTACK ZONE to activate - will be transformed into Fantastic Four Attack Mode, with other themed elements from the film franchise brought to life throughout the race weekend.


On the one hand, it's just a bit of sponsorship. On the other hand it does feel a little like jumping the shark and having no confidence in your product by FE.

Some changes to make this almost unwatchable sport interesting. Maybe it will work.
found the article confusing. Surely it makes sense for the pit stop to be where they charge up for attack mode. Maybe thats what they mean.
But everything about FE is overcomplicated.

I'm not sure it is particularly confusing. In races where there is a pit stop they are only proposing one attack mode, rather than the current two. The method of enabling it will be the same.

In addition they're also proposing removing the requirement to use all of the attack mode by the end of the race.

It's also been some of the most watchable racing I've seen all year, crap TV coverage notwithstanding. I really don't understand what people have against it. They're moderately powerful, non aero dependant single seaters on piss poor tyres, so they move about quite a bit and can get close to each other without too much 'dirty air'.

Sure they don't make noise, but there's quite a bit more going on than you're giving credit for.

ITV have signed up UK & Ireland FE rights for next two seasons, most races to be shown live on ITV4.

That seems like a step in the right direction.
