Formula E car came to Shelsley Walsh a couple of years back .... Jaguar team with their top pro driver and associated support crew .... did some runs up the hill (I think to take the EV record for PR pusposes) .... what an underwhelming experience .... just an annoying whine .... and slow (will look back but I recall it was no faster than me ... an amateur 70 year old in a self-built car based round a 40 year old Formula Ford) ..... looked like something out of a computer game but can't say I'd bother watching the series.

Ps it did a 30.46 .... there's saloons quicker .... my PB up there is 29.60 ..... loads of razamatazz but the reality was dull
I agree re the spectacle. I watched a FormulaE a couple of times and just cannot get engaged with it. I know the current F1 cars are not exactly an Aero 8 with sidepipes (and I know this is actually more efficient) but they still make it more of an experience than FormulaE. I will swear my old Scalextric set sounded just like it.
