it will be fun to see the cars with less aero, a real rim/tire size and see who can figure out the suspension (given that the tire was so much a part of the suspension in the past).

Should be available for you on YouTube in HD.
Great podium ceremony - driving the cars onto the podium! Formula E isn't afraid to innovate and try things like that.
The "attack mode" wasn't the mario-kart gimmick that I feared it might be, which was good. Sooo much better without a car change. Full flat-out close racing for the whole time. Cracking stuff.
The new cars are pretty good, but I hope they have some better tracks. That was like racing through a building site. Overall an improvement, and luckily I had recorded enough that I (eventually) found the race. it was shown before the qualifying for some reason.
I woke up early (for me, BG ) to watch both the pre-race and race on FS1. From the moment the broadcast started, I was regretting my decision. Steve Matchett tried to give an overview of the new season along with interspersing the live feed pre-race. It was pitiful.
FS1 used the live feed for the race, but cut to commercials a couple of times. I felt a little lost upon return, because the commentators didn't give an update. Of course, they have no clue that there is commercials, so I don't blame them. The live feed itself felt a little disjointed though. I was confused more than once with the information presented.
Post race was almost non existent on FS1.
After Mr. Tick said it was on youtube, I went back and watched the pre and post race. The whole broadcast was two hours compared to the one and a half hour FS1. It was a lot better. The program had a lot better flow to it. It was much more enjoyable. I didn't compare the quality of each broadcast, but youtube said it was 1080p. It looked a little bit starved to me. It would be great to see them use 4k cameras like the ones that CNET's Tim Stevens used in the video I posted a couple of weeks ago. It may not be feasible, but it would have people watching for the eye candy alone.
My recommendation is to watch the Formula E races on youtube.
Missing out parts of the race is insane. And insulting! Did you get the commentary with Dario Franchitti, Jack Nicholls and Bob Varsha?
Bob doesn't really contribute much, but Dario and Jack are a great team.
I guess i am an old fashioned fart, but i dont like any jet or rocket cars, to me the land speed record is the fastest a piston engined car has ever gone. I also disagree totally with taking an average of two runs to get the land speed record. Hell, if you do 600 one way and 580 the other way, now they say your record is 590, but in reality you DID hit 600 so that should be the record as long as its within a pre-determined wind parameter. Man, where is the great old Mickey Thomson Challenger when you need it, how i loved that car.
I wonder what kind of temps those tires get up to. The track they want to go to is 11 miles long and a mile wide. At 1K mph that almost seems too small.
My only issue with that is that they are NOT ski-ing on top of the car!
They are standing on skis, on top of the car!
Sit me on a horse, on a trailer behind a car and then drive it really fast. There you go, so now I'm the world's fastest horse rider? No, I wouldn't be!
I bet the locals on that steep hill don't ever park on the road, and laugh at visitors who do knowing what will happen

Going out of town and won't have internet for a few days.
Merry Christmas everyone.
