Also those worried about the noise. Please note that Formula E is meant to be a different product and not meant to directly replace traditional motorsports. It might happen 200 years from now on de facto when we reach peak oil but at the moment it's just meant to be a motorsport product for alt-fuel fans and those who don't care (or hate) extremely loud car noises. Remember there's a ton of people out there who thinks racing noises are obnoxious and this is one solution to that and also will help push electric battery technology like how old motorsports did for the combustion engine.

I personally think changing cars is a bit lame but car electric engines are still very new and FE stand a good way to truly propel that technology to new heights.

Excited for next year. Hope the on track product will be good!

Also hope to see more teams commit? Maybe eventually attract electric manufacturer factory teams like Tesla, Lightning, Kleenspeed and Venturi?
I really don't know what to expect out of teams. But I do expect 10 - that's not exactly that ambitious of a goal. We're already 30% there.
