FE isn't endurance, also motoGP race are about 40-42 minutes long otherwise bikes would go out of fuel.
You do realise the races are exactly that long for exactly that reason?

The drivers constantly having to balance between conserving and taking a bit more life out of the battery to race a rival is what makes these races so entertaining, as is all the "gimmicks" such as Attack Mode and Fan Boost looking good at first, but then you realise they use up more power more quickly so again need a strategic mind to work out when or indeed if it best to use them

It's what makes Formula E racing so exciting, as evidenced yesterday!

Brilliant race, proper motor sport with overtaking and drama from start to finish

Formula E really is the most exciting single seater catagory on the planet atm..
