Well they went with Spark because it's run by one of Agag's friends
At least they solved the suspension issue that plagued season 1. Power steering needs beefing up still, and suspension could do with another upgrade

Extreme E needs to rethink their tracks. Hydro was the worst course for racing yet. Super narrow, no overtaking spots so everyone was desperate at the start which caused even more accidents. The action can be great, they need to focus on that and then people will keep watching

I agree with all this. But honestly, I find the qualifying time trials more fun than the racing. Maybe it should just be that, honestly? You could make the tracks more technical and difficult and have cars setting off at 30 second intervals, and a split screen of them all.

I honestly think racing them makes it worse.
