Well have you actually watched a live E-Formula race Vs any races that are powered by race fuel engines? Before I answer your question.

I've watched an E-Formula race. My initial interest was more from a novelty standpoint than actually wanting to watch the race for an extended amount of time. I found it to be fascinating but for me, whatever the reason, it was not as exciting as F1. Maybe it was the lack of engine noise, maybe it was other aspects to the race but it just didn't have the same appeal. Just something about a ICE growling out big HP.

I have not. I don't regularly watch any kind of racing, though, I don't see how my experiences affect your perceptions.

So you dont watch any kind of racing? How about horse racing???

So tell me then what was your experience so I will know how it does not or affect my perceptions? Then I will tell my first hand experience watching live a petrol race car series versus a Formula E races. So I will be fair to you in explaining my boredom watching the Formula E races.


Besides I never said formula E doesn’t have the same engagement as other car races would have. I believe some of the well known Indy and European drivers drives at the Formula E series,

Btw you sold your Z was it because the sound of the exhaust too loud for your or the Z is too slow for you?

Just curious.

No horse racing either. I watch some track and field during the Olympics...lol.

Like I said, I don't have much experience watching racing. I've done a little autocross and enjoy watching car reviews where they track the cars but I've never been into spending hours watching cars actually race.

I suppose I assumed that you weren't as engaged since you fell asleep...lol.

I sold the Z because I am a financial idiot and thought I could afford it when I couldn't. I'd like nothing more than to get back into a Z but am trying to get my **** together financially and quit making stupid choices. I think the Z sounds decent, though, there are obviously cars that sound better. I do, however, prefer quality sound over loud for loud's sake and try to protect my hearing as much as possible.
