Live coverage in the UK will be on Channel 5.

 

Will anyone be watching?

Mercedes look set to enter Formula E in the 2018/19 season.

 

 

They're not the only ones!

 

Renault have been involved for so long the first years cars all had their name on the chassis. They put in a bid to supply batteries from S5 onwards. Porsche were tendering for the battery deal, believed as a forerunner for a team. - the deal went to McLaren of F1 and Road car fame - Jaguar are now on board, Audi have a 'team', DS (Citroën's 'luxury' sub-brand) had a team, BMW have partnered with Andretti also believed to be a forerunner for a team, Volvo & Nissan & Honda are rumoured to be sniffing around and India's Mahindra have a team.

 

It's been a massive draw for Manufacturers in a way F1 hasn't for a long time.

Did anyone see the race? it was quite a good race to be honest.

Why doesn't anyone watch this?

 

It's a thrilling sport.

 

 

Obviously because of scheduling really.

 

Watched it, it was a OK race.

426k people watched this on Channel 5 last night.

That's not great on prime time. Needs to be spiced up a bit this. The novelty of this has worn off.

 

 

Mexico race tomorrow on Channel 5.

Much better race in Mexico. A real thriller. Full of drama.

Indeed quite a race in Mexico. A good victory for Lucas di Grassi, the gamble paid off.

An solid race in Monaco it was. Buemi and Di Grassi once again battling for the win.

 

 

I saw highlights of the Monaco race for this.

Paris on Saturday. Still a grower for me.

It was quite a good race, Paris was. Still would be good to see one car being used for the whole of the race.

 

 

That will be from Season 5 according to the series roadmap! ^_^

Cool. I'll be looking forward to it. I think the calendar should be just for the year e.g. 2017 only not 3 month gap before the next race.

Renault e.Dams have signed up Buemi and Prost for Season 4 and 5! (In the process revealing they're also working on their S5 car already)

Watched the second Berlin race today the whole way through. Actually quite enjoyable!

Another exciting race to watch in Berlin been a good weekend of racing there. Harsh on Rosenqvist to be penalised for that 10 second penalty.
