E-racing365 understands that BMW will reveal its definitive Season Five driver lineup in September. Antonio Felix da Costa, Bruno Spengler and Tom Blomqvist have all tested the BMW iFE.18 in recent months.

I expect some surprises.

Vergne is the obvious answer, but Di Grassi made a very impressive comeback after his disastrous season start.

Hard to say who the best driver was this year as there was a much bigger difference in performance between the cars. For me Bird was probably the best taking that into account but to say 100% it would need access to far more data than we get to see.

Di Grassi lost his engineer. It was a big hit. The truth may not set you free, but used carefully, it can confuse the hell out of your enemies.

DS has left Virgin to partner with Techeetah.


Virgin is believed to become a Audi customer team.

Formula E will get increased UK exposure via the BBC:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/motorsport/46191581

It'll be available through the website, iplayer and red button services rather than regular broadcast.

BBC will show one race live on TV (believed to be Hong Kong), and the others on its website and via the connected red button. All of them will be available on catchup through iPlayer.

I believe they will also all be live on Eurosport.

FWIW I just sent the following e-mail to the series organizer and several teams:

Quote:
Dear reader,

In a few weeks the opening event of the 5th Formula E season is planned to be held in the capital of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. From the moment this was announced I was wondering how much sense this event makes. Off course as a motorsports enthusiast I enjoy the best drivers battling in thrilling fights on exciting tracks in high tech machinery. Formula E offers that in spades, but is not unique in that regard. It stands out from any other series in the new cities and countries where Formula E races, the innovative nature, and the sustainability compared to others series which need to burn a lot of oil to keep their cars and bikes on track. The first race in Switzerland after their race ban in the fifties for instance was amazing.
I will grant you that the race in Ad Diriya offers more of the first, but other than that, choosing to race in a country where cinema’s and women drivers are seen as a novelty, and where the king would be riding a camel and living in a tent if it wasn’t for lots and lots of oil is very unfitting to a series that promotes itself as progressive and sustainable.
You will probably be aware of recent events in Istanbul and in Yemen which underlined for me that nobody with a sliver of moral integrity would do anything to glorify this nation and its leader. It is why many big names in government, technology and finance withdraw their attendance to the Future Investment Initiative a few weeks ago.
I urge you to do the same. Please do not visit Saudi Arabia and help mr. Salman get the reputation as a modern civilized man he so clearly is not deserving. According to your website the track is still waiting on FIA homologation, so that could be a convenient cop out.
For what it matters, I intent on not watching any Formula E footage until the new year, and I hope in 2019 I can see an extra replacement race of your wonderfull series.

Best regards,
Werner Rietveld
Without a doubt in vain, I hope we have to wait a bit more to see the new cars in action.

Such a shame they go for these novelties, the series is introducing legitimately interersting cars this year, with so many powerhouse manufacturers and solid drivers, why not just let them race?

Wish we could see them race on real tracks too...

I expected more young and unexperienced drivers, but that's not the case. Günther is the FIA F2 runner-up...

I am looking at the season introduction video, and I see that I missed the calendar addition of Sanya. I am trying to figure out on the map where exactly the track will be, but I cannot manage so far. Does anybody have an idea?
The Bern track is awesome btw!
