Nice livery. I'm glad they tried something different avoided any obvious Ecurie Ecosse or BRG scheme.
It looks nice standing still, but I suspect that the fine detail will be lost when the car is moving, so it's just going to be a dull shade of turquoise.

I'd still rather that than a rehash of a classic livery. It's somewhat more original, at least.
 
In Putrajaya, the commentators were trying to get song lyrics into their commentary (and posted a video later). This race has been Star Wars, I've already noticed "going over to the Dark Side", "Laugh it up Fuzzball" and "close the blast doors".
 
I'm currently watching this in Punta del Este.

I have to say, yes it's a new car/sport to learn, Oliver Rowland's performance was pitiful. It was like watching Karthikeyan all over again.
 
Rowland did save a lot of energy but was too slow in doing so. Race wasn't a classic but to be fair it was never going to live up to the Putrajaya race.
 
Buemi seems to be in a good spot to win it this year if he get a reliable car. His e-dams looks really quick and he seems to be able to get a bit more out of it than Nicolas.

I suppose the teams will be glad that everyone has to pit the same amount of times. An extra pitstop is maximum time lost with the entrance and exit right next to each other.
 
The left side looks like a section from Opera Paris (GT4) and the right side reminds me of Madrid from GT5/6 with the half roundabout.
 
I think it looks alright. The major deciding factor on whether it's good or not will be the width. Hard to tell the width from the map. My gut tells me it'll be pretty narrow, which is not good, but I'll reserve final judgement until I see it.
 
With all the excitement of Daytona and Bathurst, I'd forgot that FE picks back up this weekend :). I really like the Buenos Aires track last year, hopefully it delivers a good race again this year.
 
I think that's just because it's a good circuit to begin with. You could race just about anything there and it would be pretty good. But on the other hand, you have circuits like Putrajaya and Moscow that are great for Formula E, but wouldn't work for anything else.
I think you could race Miatas or Cappachinos around Putrajaya...reason why I want it in a game at some point :lol:
 
Finally got around to watching the race due to Bathurst....holy crap, what a race!!! Fantastic drives from both Buemi and Bird, right down to the wire :)
 
That race was great yesterday. Not very often that someone can climb their way up the grid to battle for the win like Buemi did.
 
Based on how he carved through the field and nearly won from the back, Buemi should win the title if nothing goes wrong for him.

The next race at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez will not be live on ITV4 as they will be showing snooker instead. I think it will be aired later that evening.
 
What a brilliant race form Buemi again, really happy on how he perform. I'm still sad he didnt got a promotion to red bull. Yes I know, move on ^^; the past is the past.

Also congrats to him, his wife and his newborn child.
