If anyone wants to watch some racing this weekend I highly suggest checking out Formula E.

It's ~~spec~~ series electric racing, the latest gen 3 cars have 350kw of power and top speeds up to 200mph.

I tried to watch a race on TV several times, but between the weird squeaky sounds and the city tracks, which severely lack any character, it’s not for me.

Maybe it’s enjoyable in person, also the tickets are actually affordable.

The sound does take some getting used to, but I drive an EV so am some what acclimatised. I do like the fact you can hear the tyres though.

Personally the street circuits work for me, for formula e, as the close walls increase the drama. I don't enjoy them for formula 1 because they make over taking so hard, but that's not really an issue here.
