While there is no doubt that Formula E is catching on - with good TV coverage this weekend - what do you think of the engine noise?

Do you find it a little off putting? Would you prefer them to add artificial noise to the engines or leave them as they are?

Hmmm

Would you get extra points for best sound?

There is nothing better than the sound of a working V8. 4’s are irritating 12’s are screamers. NASCAR MARCHES ON.🙂

On the other hand Electric race tracks might be approved in communities where Regular tracks have been banned because of noise restraints.

I won’t live long enough to see this happen but it’s food for thought for all the dreamers out there.
