Formula E is very fun to watch, because it's just a f*ckfest almost every time. The tight and twisty tracks makes it interesting too. The series is suprisingly well put together in my opinion.
Weke The things that you like about Formula E are the things I dislike, lol
✌️
FIA Formula E Championship And the series has a very nice social media person too 🤗
lol what a kiss-ass
FIA Formula E Championship They're actually watching I'm weak
Now, how fast can a Formula E car lap Le Mans? How fast can a Formula E car lap all the 2017 F1 season circuits?
Fernando da Silva the le man track will tack for ever
Yes, as we've seen on this very curvy circuit the car took forever to lap it. Now how about we take that car to a 13km circuit with like 6 breakpoints?
They don't have clocks that go up that far.
Might give it a try, but with energy consumption simulation. Will really cut TS on Le Mans.
Le Mans is much trickier for this car than the Nordschleife, as the nature is much straigther with less braking zones.
Discovered this channel yesterday and I've just been binging. Interesting challenges and a really engaging personality. Keeping the commentary going with everything else happening in seriously impressive
I both HATE & LOVE Formula E lol. It's a weird relationship.
Dan's Racing & Simulations hate the song but love the racing
same. i love the wrecks yet hate the courses which give me the wrecks... /thinking
I think my love for them is growing with just how mich work they do on the wheel whilst racing next to eachother.
talking to Mitch Evans' dad he was saying how much work they do changing which wheel generates electricity, how much battery to use. Whilst skating along a skinny road course.
Pretty grouse racing imo
If you love wrecks, don't watch motorsports. It doesn't need "fans" like you.
Normal relationships are boring.
I think the cars are cool and what they are doing is great. But that frigging fan boost.......
Grrr
I mean it isn't really an issue, it has never caused an overtake
AuroraSpace Its embarrassing cheapens the idea of the series. I can picture the meeting where the loose turd of an idea was squeezed out. "Well we need a way to get those younguns with their fancy buttonless cellularized telephones interested....."
I see it as kind of a DRS really. Im not fan of either but at least fan boost keeps fans engaged.
I like DRS. I always found the "artificial" argument silly. It's a part of the car, like engine modes or ERS. Fan boost is about as artificial as it gets.
@@sherman128 DRS is just as artificial as Fan Boost. The difference is that DRS is up to the driver's discretion (at pre-determined, arbitrary sections of circuits while within an arbitrary distance to an opponent) while Fan Boost is up to the spectators' discretion. Fan Boost is just as "part of the car" as DRS is. At least the new Attack Mode in Formula E has a risk/reward factor.
"I'm gonna be answering a question nobody asks..."
Gold.
That's a fast vacuum cleaner you got there!
It would actually sound much better if it did sound like a vacuum cleaner. It sounds like a 200 hp dentist drill instead.
"Lady shaver"
Thierry Ohlmann someone watched grand tour
Literally made me lol
Whilst understandably exciting to see racing on tight and twisty circuits, what ends up happening is F-E ends up looking like oversized gokarting.
I actually quite enjoy FE. Although it may be as fast as F4 and not sound great, it always produces great racing, the cars are a handful to say the least, the tracks are challenging and there are quite a few recognisable ex F1 drivers. It may not be for everyone but for me it’s a good parallel with F1.
Enjoyable vid as always Jimmy :)
I would still prefer IndyCar parallel to F1.
The tracks and cars are definitely challenging. Di Grassi, our reigning champ, said Formula E cars are the most difficult cars to control of anything he's ever driven. And that creates the mad, mad spectacle that is a typical Formula E race 🙌
All the car traits you mentioned just convinced me even more that, in an ideal world, at current stage of development, the top eletric car championship wouldn't be with open-wheelers. Of course, they went with Formula route because it's the most recognizable format and, therefore, more attractive to the general public, which made it the optimal choice in a commercial sense.
Just imagine how much better suited for close racing the car would be.
I will never be able to take Formula E seriously as long as it has fan boost. It is the most synthetic thing ever. At least Formula 1's "synthetic racing" in its DRS is available to everyone who can get within 1 second at certain parts of the track and wasn't as powerful this year as in previous years
I watch racing because it's exciting. FE races deliver more excitement per lap than just about anyone else. Plus there's the potential of some development that will actually affect road technology in a positive way, which isn't going to happen in F1 any time soon.
bduddy55555 Until they come up with a better solution than switching cars mid race, I don't think this series is doing much for the electric car industry other than using technology we already had, and when they do open up the development, one manufacturer is likely going to be bettee than the rest leading to boring races. Also, F1 isn't supposed to road relevant, it's supposed to be the pinnacle of automotive technology. I'm not saying it is tho, I think the peak of the LMP1 Hybrid era was.
In the 2018/2019 season (next season) they won't be changing cars any more.
James Pilbeam Thats good, Im still worried about the inevitable spending war, especially with the all the Germans tho
bduddy55555 If FE is your thing, you must be very amused by bumper cars at amusement parks. I like bumber cars too, but on a race track I like to see racing, not congested narrow tracks, with amateur driving, and cars that sound worse than vacuum cleaners. I find IMSA, WEC, WRC and the numerous Australian racing series plenty exciting.
YES BOSS.
With it not even being 5 years old yet Formula E is still early in development and will only improve imagine how quick the cars would be in 20 years but we should get behind it we get to witness a new Motorsport in our generation being born and i love it there are some thing's i would liked changed better track's no fan boost but i'm loving it.
The future's bright...
FIA Formula E Championship holy shit they replied
The LoudAssasin Gay aff
The LoudAssasin its not an old class but theres been a lot of money poured into these cars, so they should be better.
Imagine how much other race cars are going to develop in 20 years. We probably won't get much more power than the current f1 cars. Formula e will become mainstream if the cars get fast and the tracks get good. More likely to just get more electric power into f1 than FE becoming popular
Would love to see you try and do it with the battery draining as normal. See how far you get and if you can get round how much slower it is!!
New Zealand flag has red stars, Australia has white, and also has a big extra one under the Union Jack and a small extra one in the Southern Cross
I'm loving formula e since last season. For open wheels, it's indy and formula e if you wanna watch something competitive
Ah why is he talking so much? I want to hear that beautiful engine sound! XD
The sound F1 cars make hardly sets your soul on fire either, to be honest. Even banger racing sounds better. Best-sounding race I've been to was 2000cc Harleys warming up for the British Superbikes one year... they were unfaired and really slow, but that just gave you more time to experience the thunder!
I like the notion of Formula E, but I really dislike Fan Boost that on its own is a game breaker for me. I also don't like the pitstops but that is going to change next season. Furthermore I think that the tracks are too limited, I would love to see a FE race on the hungaro ring or something that isn't a road circuit.
mr id yeah fanboost is shit
mr id hungaroing is the only f1 track they can use until they increase that damn speed 140 is too slow for a proper track
Really hope they cull FB for season 5 and instead give out some other boost system. I've heard rumors it might end up being earned through actions within the race.
I’m indifferent on Formula E. I do think it’s a fun Motorsport, but what confuses me is that Tesla is producing cars capable of going 600 miles and 250 mph, but Formula E can’t come near either one of those. But I’m probably just unfamiliar with the rules and regulations. However, I think the noise of the cars is great. It’s almost satisfying to hear in my opinion.
You also have to realise the formula e cars they use are very old now, and next year's cars will go full race distance.
Happy to get nerdy on the rules and regs - just let us know!🤓 Regarding range, in broad terms a Formula E car is running at racing speed almost all the time, which is the main differentiator. A Tesla in the hands of a racing driver on a closed track isn't going 600 miles on a charge, much like an ICE car's fuel economy on a track day isn't going to be as advertised in the owner's manual...
FIA Formula E Championship Yeah that makes sense. I like what y’all are doing and y’all seem very committed to the sport!
the teslas cant stay at over 200kph for long, since the batteries overheat very quick.
F1 is still H.N.I.C. in this case, but these days you'll need an all-electric drivetrain to take on Pike's Peak records. I think the crazy factor of electric drivetrains has been well explored though the last 10 years of that event, while Formula E is like a testing ground for future consumer electric car technology. Those teams are pushing system efficiency to new levels, some reaching over 90%! Most parts of the cars are identical, but teams can engineer their own motor and transmissions if they want, so innovation in that area is full (fly-by-wire) throttle.
Formula E does sound better and louder in person. You hear the sound of the chassis breaking the air around it and the tyres on the road a lot more, which mixing with the noise of the motor gives the sound a sort of fighter jet-esque feel. And yeah, I agree the sound of the motor alone won't give anyone the goosebumps but I remember a whole pack of cars braking into turn 1 still being pretty noisy.
Does rF2 let you modify the cars it comes with by messing with the files? If so, it would be interesting to see what a Formula E car can do if you edit its file(s) to put F1 slicks on it.
Seekay I'm not sure if you know by this point but it does.
1:57 when he says no slicks it sounds like no sex
Last weeks race had more excitement than the full f1 season
We love a bit of drama. Roll on Marrakesh 👊
FIA Formula E Championship fair play you guys are commenting on videos as well, you know what your doing that's whats making you the best
ik that this vid is 5 yrs old but idc. someone (probably jimmer again) should try this again w the new cars that allegedly go 200+ on the straights
The REEEEEEE! Great video, Jimmer. I love watching you slam cars around tracks like this!
Do this with the gen 2 car please
Also love you jimmer keep the good work up
Love it or hate it Formula E is a reflection of the inexorable shift towards the electrification of vehicles. I think with the rise of countries putting deadlines on car companies to stop producing internal combustion engines the R&D budgets for such engines and therefore the interest in them will begin to wane. Formula E can only get faster as technology advances and it isn't unrealistic to think that, by the time the bans come in fully, that F E cars could reach similar top speeds to modern F1 cars. F1 can only exist as long as sponsors are happy to pour money into it and the fashion for electric cars will eventually draw them away. The other thing to consider of course is that any discipline that uses modified road cars will have to make plans to accommodate electric vehicles. Formula E is just the beginning of a massive transition for Motorsport in general.
I like it but in my opinion my grandma’s tea kettle sounds like the cars at full pelt
Without Jimmy talking I would fall asleep.
A lot of people I know say FE is slow. Its not. Its just made for circuits it races on and for that circuits its very fast
Whilst I'm not a fan of Formula E, it's more the commentary that has let it down in the past, rather than the racing... it is something that I will give an chance to at some point...
That was an agrresive "HEY GUIS JIMMER HERE" to start off with lmao
IKR? I thought that during editing haha
Great to see you having a blast in this uncultured beast!
Please do this with the Gen 2 when you get access to it!
Jimmy. I have to hand it too you for pushing the limits to create interesting content. Bravo mate. Honestly I'd ago like to see if you could Steve the battery to complete a lap. Again well done.
To those who complain about the sound
does it really make any difference to the racing?
Is there even any in F1 now?
Sam Li Jie immersion
Why all the hate on formula E? I’m a Motorsport fan and enjoy watching all forms of Motorsport. Especially one with tight circuits, close racing, and overtakes all the way through the race. There’s a lot of strategy involved with managing power while remaining competitive. It’s really a lot of fun if you can get past your preprogrammed dislike for change.
Zack B
I think, a lot of the dislike comes from the more gimmicky features, like the fan-boost.
Good car control with that torque, Jimmah.
For me electric cars are the future for the public. Like as a road car... HOWEVER! I think we ICE cars will always have a place in racing and full electric cars will never take over. The sound, the speed and the history for petrol powered cars will be too much. And when petrol runs out we always got e85 and other synth fuels.
Omg finaly I wanted this for a long time
That lap looked so much slower than it actually was
I'd love to see this redone with this season's updated car.
"Australian or New Zealand flag there, not sure, can't tell..." New Zealand had a chance to fix that but wasn't interested...
brosephjames ones white stars and the other is red
brosephjames well new zealand had the flag before Australia so maybe they should change
Most of us weren't interested in the massive bill that came with it.
And we had the flag first so australia can fucking change theirs
Love all my fellow kiwis telling Australia to fuck off and get a new flag instead 😂
Interesting video, Jimmy. Kudos for posting it :D
It is an interesting thing to race because it's so different and it's all about efficiency.
After you are done you jump into a GT3 or a FR3.5 and remind yourself what motor racing is all about.
Soon it will be more like "was" instead of "is".
i want see the next generation formula e car on the nordschleife ;D
omg i almost fell a sleep watching that
Cars are indeed pretty interesting, not a fan of street tracks (even monaco, but it's a legendary one, so I'm okay with it), fanboost is absolutely retarded, would like them to eventually battle it out on the F1 circuits once the cars have developed enough to handle longer distances, and enough power to be able to run more downforce and see what happens.
I'm fine with Street tracks but FE tracks are truly awful.
Audi E-Tron around the ring!!!
i went to Formula E in brooklyn and it was awesome
Wait for Gen 2 Formula E. It can reach 170mph. When Nico Rosberg tested it in Berlin he was mentioning he was reaching 250kph
I think it's more interesting to compare it to other race cars. Although not many series use his layout, according to the VLN website, TCR/GT4 cars can lap the full circuit with an average speed of 160-165km/h, which is comparable to Jimmie's lap
Will Doyle Well they have a lot of traffic. VLN has lots of slower Clios and faster GT3's. And I haven't seen the Nordschleifen layout in ages.
I love Formula E! A great series with great drivers, track selection, cars, marketing and some of the best racing you can find currently! I do admit the fan boost thing is very gimmicky but hey it works.
it was actually about 7:30 as on the nordschleife the timing line finishes on the entry to that last corner
I wonder how close they are to putting these on slicks and bigger battery’s so they can maybe Challenge some formula 1 lap times, I think when that happens formula 1 will really have to step it up
Would be fun to see a race between a FE and some other petrol car, on a circuit where both have a comparable lap time, just to see how different they fare.
Take one with a big straight line where the petrol car will zap through at 250+ kph...
Love the video. Not so much on the car. Cheers dude.
It can go quick, but the thing is you need to charge it up half way through the track.
The speed seems glacial compared to the other cars you have driven but its still as fast as 1960s formula one there!
A race car lacks the range to drive around a race circuit, and the technology that hinders range the most is locked from development, . And some wonder why people hate fe so much
Tbh the racing itself in formula e is more exciting than f1 the cars however are not lol
Season 5 car is coming soon. It might win you over... Watch this space
Yeah , sure. Racing is waaay more exciting if your definition of exciting is a bunch of idiots crashing into each other. It's like racing formula cars in touring car races. The definition of formula racing is contact free ,clean , surgically smooth racing. Formula E is the BTCC with electric single seaters on terrible race tracks. But i guess the new generation falls for it, because "there's no overtakes in Formula 1". As long as "overtaking" means putting the other guy into the barrier or plunging into his side , i'm good with my overtake-less F1 , thank you.
President Kimi formula 2 is more exciting than formula 1! F1 has become push to pass basically with drs. At least those other series allow cars to get close enough to do an exciting overtake. And yes they might wreck more but that’s also because the racing is closer and accidents happen they’re also a part of racing
President Kimi F1 is getting boring now no one wants to watch a race with no overtakes and no action
President Kimi its full of action mate, can't deny that
I think Formula E (electric racing in general) is simply inevitable. However, I think they're restricting manufacturers too much right now. They don't have the room to really innovate and make Formula E more exciting and advance the technology of the cars.
This is the quietest hotlap I have ever watched
also is that the questionably obtained laser scan of nords? you know theres a questionably obtained laser scanned version of spa and brands hatch for rf2 as well :P
@ Jimmy, cool stuff to see you push this car around the Green Hell! Also: what is the OUTro music? You mentioned only the intro, Shazam doesn't know crap :$
Time is more impressive when you consider most road cars setting laps would have had much wider, stickier tyres.
The new car compared to the old one would be interesting
for some reason i was completely mindblown that formula e cars had gears.
Please drive the Gen2 car as soon as it is available
Hey Jimmer, I really enjoy your videos. Wil you evere take your Mx5 to the real Nordschleife?
I get both sides of race, and road electric cars. Con, Truth is the batteries are not eco friendly at all, and an electric road car is an expensive pain in the ass. Work days are ok, but most of us get to be spontaneous a few days a month, and as of now electric cars require an itinerary if you don't want to get stuck. Pro, I don't see the internal combustion engine improving much, so hopefully Formula E tech will improve, then trickle down to us mortals with a cheaper price tag. Maybe Formula E will improve the design of road cars. Any racing not around an oval is another pro in my book. Question, what's up with the radials on dry Tarmac?
The game listed is Assetto Corsa, haha. But seriously where do people get a good Nords for rF2?
dang, the roar of that engine, is that a V8? sounds like atleast 5L, maybe a V10 :P
It wasnt even a flag at 5:57. But i guess i can give you some slack going through the carousel.
I just don’t get the 2 gears thing I understand that’s just how electrics are but I don’t see how u don’t have gears in a race car. It’s so important to how I drive
can you do a eg6 Honda Civic with a few simple mods (making 128BHP TO THE FRONT WHEELS)
the lack of grip is obvious even when just watchign the races, they slide everywhere. it looks like an RC race.
Hmmm, if only it was a REAL Formula E going around Nordschleife! A simulator is "realistic" but not REAL. We still don't know how fast it could be!
AC ftw! :)
With Formula e doesnt have rf2 now a proper emotor setup so that lmp1 cars can be simulated proper ly?
Ferrari 2004- have you tried that on this track? What kind of time did you get if you did>?
Rf 2 looks focking great.. Where to get nordschleife? Is he using a graphs mod?
tfw no name It's the Assetto Corsa version converted to rF2. I don't have a link but in the game it's called ksring
I'm the guy that always complains about background music. Usually I say I don't like it because it makes the video feel like I'm watching tv shop channel but sometimes it also makes it harder to hear what you are saying.
Us sim racers are people? Bahhh! Also, do you think the FE cars regen could lead Rf2 towards proper hybrids soon?
Try a Nio EP9 electric supercar , it does 6:45
1:57 I heard “we have no sex”
226 km/h is over 140 mph.
Formula E is where F1 drivers careers go to die.
I want a formula e game
How fast will a Formula E lap AVUS?
the cars are OK, the tires are stupid and the racing is a gimmick-fest. In the future if i have to convert my celica to electric to keep it legal im going to make it look like its from AKIRA and i'll be fine with that :)
With lime neon wheels?
The law in 2040 says new cars cant be petrol/diesel. Existing cars can remain as they are.
The all weather wheels are to demonstrate how you don't have to have slicks for good racing michelen is saying.
Many cities already plan to ban diesel engines in their centers. By 2040 I find it totally conceivable that they also ban petrol engines. And if I can't go anywhere with my petrol engine car, a conversion to electric (or an electric car) would be a great idea :)
Maybe. they make exceptions for classic cars though, many classic cars on the roads today are technically illegal but are allowed because of their classic status. And by 2040 a Celica would be classed as classic.
How about doing this with a gen2 car?
Do the 2nd Gen FE car!
Simply the fact that a formula e car probably wouldn't make it round the Nordschleife on one charge shows how laughable formula e is at the moment. I
Wish they had these cars in f1 2017
you are funny
Martin Jacobson I know it’s formula e but sitill it would be cool
Next video : "How fast a Fiat Punto can lap the Nordschleife?"
Well the fastest non-series non-road legal car on the nordschleife was the NIO EP9 with a 6:45.9 only the McLaren P1 XP1 LM Prototype is faster with a 6:43.22
Formula E may be slower, and the tracks way too tight for much action, and the sound's is definitely non existent, but I like the lack of aero. Car is edgy, you can drift and powerslide and oversteer it into corners, there's wheel to wheel racing and what not. F1 is king of speed thanks to aero, but those guys don't bring DRS after Lap 1, they wait for Lap 3, and by then it's just a procession.
Do you brake with your left foot also in your car?
