Perhaps electric rallycross cars would be more interesting for these tight courses, don't you think?

Next year's IndyCar season ends at the end of Aug, so all the teams and drivers are actually free to compete in Formula E which begins on 20 Sep.
They can probably do all the races until the sixth round in LA in mid Feb 2015 before focusing on Indycar again. |

Four-time Formula One world champion Alain Prost is on the verge of making a return to racing as a team owner in the Formula E electric championship which begins next year.

I guess it will be called Renault, Dacia, Alpine or Caterham instead.

I wish him well! Hopefully a better adventure than the first time in F1 as a team owner...

Alongside DAMS no less.
I have to say that I didn't buy into the hype of Formula E at all initially, but there are some impressive names being connected with it. |

If it is done with a better marketing approach than Superleague and even Indycar - which could seriously improve there -, it could be absolutely huge. It is the most logical step towards "clean or cleaner" racing! As much as I love my engine sounds, it is the future...

Sebastian Vettel on FIA Formula E: I don’t like it. I think it’s not the future. F1 needs to scream, needs to be loud, there needs to be the vibration.

But the article takes position from Nico Rosberg's observation of "wait and see".

Great. Prost back. Aguri back. Only leaves the possibility to see Super Nova, iSport and/or Astromega back among the applications to entry in Formula E. Just a dream...

Michelin had the new tyres they have developed specifically for Formula E on show at the Regent Street Motor Show last weekend.

This very informative article by South China Morning Post confirms that the first ever round of the series will be in Beijing's Olympic Green, as well as mentioning that New York City is on the cards for 2015-2016. Also, it seems like Hong Kong's track will go directly through the CBD, right by that gorgeous waterfront. Interesting bits of news. Beijing Olympic Green: CBD, Hong Kong: |

Does the back end of the car look heavy to anyone else or is it just me?

Why test it at only 25% of its race power?
And also, are the teams making their own cars i.e. F1 or having a 1-make series i.e. Indycar? |

It will be a one-make the first few years, to reduce costs. The plan is to open the competition later.
