So I had almost the same access that you get with press credentials…first off as someone who has attended many F1 races I could not believe how QUIET these cars are. To be this close in F1 required actual headphone sound dampening and with E you don’t need anything! I think they actually amplify the sound for TV. The rules were convoluted and hard to follow at the race. As there is no way to pit the cars it’s kind of like watching heats as opposed to a full 70 lap race. The venue was hot and a bit rinky dink compared to F1 (I expected that) but they did have a VIP paddock. It was a very short track (1 km less than Monaco?) which was good and bad. It was almost walkable from the Marina (which was 1st class) and the entrance line was well managed and efficient.

It’s remarkable how consistent the lap times are because there is no change in fuel weight…

I do support electrification for public and fleet but IMHO the system must neither penalize nor discriminate peoples choice of car, hobby (vintage, mod &Sport) and especially sport competition car in anyway.
