No, if they wanted to push engineering, they would make them run multiple races, not rebuild @ $25,000 for a three second burst of noise and make a motor that can only last 540 revolutions.
Lol, yeah. That’s how my friend tries to get me into Formula 1, and I can definitely see and respect it from that angle. I just can’t get past the resources wasted to make a spectacle out of it. I’m just a curmudgeon like that haha.
Those arguments go away with Formula-E but I just haven’t dove into it
But they don’t. Formula E is bullshit Greenwashing. Whatever these cars burn in a race weekend is a drop in the bucket compared to the vast waste of resources used to fly hundreds of tonnes of equipment and cars and people around the world. Formula E could be entirely in Europe with races a short distance apart.
I thought that too, but think about it but this way. These races are about pushing the limits of engineering.

But you can’t make one go as fast in one race if it has to run for more races. You’re talking about pushing engineering in a different direction
Hmmmm no
Scientihic research is about pushing the limits of engineering. This is just a very wasteful show

The win would be the engineering knowledge gained from pushing an electric vehicle to it’s absolute limits, at least in theory.
Oh for sure. The whole fan infrastructure for f1 is fucked.
