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.

    F-E is so much better in person

    Saw them in Portland this year, the sound was so much less harsh and way more enjoyable. The squeaking was the tyre noise, which was a new one to get used to.

    Absolutely produces some great racing though. Everyone should check out their Monaco race if you want to know how much better for overtaking these cars are.

        I’ve got T1 grandstand seats for Indycar and I’m super excited. Also planning on going back to F-E next year. Had a great time this year

            Absolutely go do it. Tickets were super cheap, the event was run great and I had a great time. Portland, while it has problems, is a beautiful city and the track really is fun to watch

        INDYCAR does the same, every year.

        This year is the first I’m gonna miss the Portland Grand Prix since it’s return. I’ve had grandstands at the festival curves the whole time and it’s always a great watch.

      I remember when F1 changed to hybrid engines and it was the first time I’d heard the tyre squeel over the noise of the engine, it took a while to get used to it.
