Visa Vegas eRace Pits Real and Sim Racers Head-to-Head This Saturday

[Brend]

Just read the recap on PRC, what an utter embarrassment.

EDIT: Having seen a few more viewpoints, it seems the article over-dramatized what happened as-per-course for that website. Just a shame it didn't really make any sort of impact for such a huge prize pool.

Visa Vegas eRace Recap: Racing Stumbles in the eSports Spotlight

Here's what Formula E needs to focus on:

1) its actual, real life racing

That's it. Otherwise they end up with stuff like this. And that's a shame because they've got the first, and only, important thing right down. Formula E is terrific, but it has image problems. Like a lot of motorsport series, to be fair, but Formula E matters more than most.

The final race starts at about 01:55:00, this video also includes the races before if you wanted to see them.

I'm sure when they first mentioned they were using fanboost in the race, someone in the Twitch chat called it that this kind of glitch would happen. Was really cool to see Felix Rosenqvist doing such a great job though.

Autosport are reporting that there are calls for eGrands Prix to be held on the Sunday morning before a Grand Prix.

That imo is probably the best way to make it a huge thing. But for the love of sim god, use something with graphics from this century.

I doubt FOM would let anything but the official title be used. And F1 2016 is still a pretty game, even if the graphics are outdated.
