I have watched a few of the races, interesting to say the least. But now I have cuppers on the TV

Didn't watch the race, but had to look up a few highlights. Formula E is interesting to me, and I was worried that the lack of engine noise and downshifting would kinda' dumb the race down - but honestly the engine whine is pretty cool sounding.

140 for 25 minutes seems like a demonstration of the practical limits of electric power, but at the same time is pretty impressive performance.

Pit stop ... to swap cars ... is pretty wild. Mandatory 47 seconds minimum - with antistatic gear. I could get into watching these.

... though, now I want all the driver's hair to be standing on end when they take their helmets off:
