I made this back in 2016, but it was blocked worldwide on RUclips. The copyright status of Formula E footage has changed in recent years....so enjoy. Part 2 will have more recent moments included.
@@jacobmassey3897 Broadcaster stupidity, man. They are supposedly about as loud as normal street traffic - loud by EV standards, but super-quiet by racecar standards.
@benjamin brockway when you are actually their the cars do make a nice noise when they race, and whenever they crash, it echoes like hell, especially in the London and Berlin races
@@mr8I7 It was always a slow sprint race. Nobody into racing got into it as a series. It was and is only good for one thing. Battery size and capacity.
Uh...this joke is awkward since F1 have DRS, which is sort of a boost, and IndyCar has Push To Pass, which is definately that. Dunno if something like that can work on stock cars.
Watching Formula E really made me believe that you could probably pick up some random dude on the side of the road, put him in to one of these cars and he'll probably do pretty decent.
@@anusername8350 yeah, was there ever a race where Stoffel wasn't awarded one? My whole issue with it is that you're trying to legitamise the championship in the eyes of a bunch of people who already think FE is a joke
When even SecretBase did a vid on fan boost underr their weird rules series, you know it's out there. Also Gen 1 FE was wild, I actually miss the changing cars during pitstops honestly, it was something unique about the series, but Fe is slowly becoming a legit, genuine series, whenever it's actually on at a good time to watch. Also my 1989/1990 flashbacks with Senna and Prost. Not again. Some things never change...
Have to say this new season has been a huge jump for FE I think. A lot of good racing and the cars look fast, even if its mostly due to the camera and tracks its still exciting to watch
Agreed. Gen 1 had the charm of a small series with slow cars and good racing. It felt more grassroots, like a local short track. Gen 3 has faster cars, better tracks, and a more mature professionalism about it. Gen 2 was unfortunately a pretty bad transition period between the two in my opinion.
A lot better. If you're in the UK channel 4 youtube channel has the full races. Diriyah and India rounds have been good so far this year, season opener in Mexico was a bit dull.

I'm still asking for a WTF moments in the Australian Supercars. I'd love it.
they practically removed all ways to watch the old races
It amuses me that they blocked footage, they sure did a good job of ensuring nobody cared they were even racing :D Greed ruins every sport :(
@@Muffin_Masher F1 for about a decade forbid any of their footage being uploaded outside their official RUclips page.
Formula E may be one of the funniest series ever. The lack of engine noise means that you can hear ALL the carbon-fiber crunch.
And yet they are still somehow drowning out the commentary 😂

@@thatotherguy7357 I would love to make it to an ePrix, but being in the Southern US, nothing is close enough.
@benjamin brockway ah sorry to hear mate, but I guess you can hope and pray that you will someday, it is a to do thing in my opinion
Remember when they had two cars to use in each race cause batteries didn't last long enough? Good times.
Now the battery is even smaller than the gen 2 coz the Regen is powerful enough
There's no word for that in english; In portugues it's called a "gambiarra", though.
Back when it was new and exciting. Now it's just another (slow) sprint race
@@kibe2134 Actually there are several words for that in English, Jerry rigging, kludging, hacking, mcgyvering

Formula E: "Fans can vote for their favorite drivers to give them a boost of power in the race"
NASCAR: "Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN"
Sounds like something NASCAR would do on Chicago
Bubba mysteriously wins every vote
Chase elliott will win every single race
@@NascarNixon I feel like his dislikers would undo that. Chase would sweep
Uh...this joke is awkward since F1 have DRS, which is sort of a boost, and IndyCar has Push To Pass, which is definately that. Dunno if something like that can work on stock cars.
2:25 How Nic Prost didn't get his FIA SuperLicense revoked for wrecking Nick Heidfeld like that is beyond me.
Literally attempted manslaughter right there
I saw that crash and thought I’d witnessed someone die…
@@karelpgbr this was a comparatively a light crash
Not to be *that* guy but Formula E only needs an FIA International A license, not a Super license
Jup. That he got away with serious sanctions is, I fully believe, an absolute joke. I feel Prost Sr. might have had something to do with that one.
ah yes, my favorite Jean-Eric Vergne team radio
"What the goodness"
I love how the video just starts with fanboost in general
Yeah and it looks like a documentary, so it makes it even funnier to me
Gen 1 FE was a whole different beast lmao, the series has come far since then
2:15 That’s one way to pass someone
Textbook pass right there!
@@JohnsonTheSecond yeah, a textbook on the 1955 Le Mans Disaster!
Bruno Senna, putting the "over" in overtake
"That's gonna wreck Conway's lap"
No kidding
Watching Formula E really made me believe that you could probably pick up some random dude on the side of the road, put him in to one of these cars and he'll probably do pretty decent.
Formula E in itself is a WTF moment.
What the goodness!
The good WTF moment fr
This had an "ARCA breaks" feel to it.
They only ever race on ridiculously tight street circuits, and if the batteries get too hot, they cannot rely on the regen system to help them brake.
Formula E is the ultimate combination of clown show and a great racing series, sometimes good racing, other times it's outright funny
What the goodness
What the goodness
So glad fanboost isn't a thing anymore
It was so ridiculously unfair.
@@anusername8350 yeah, was there ever a race where Stoffel wasn't awarded one? My whole issue with it is that you're trying to legitamise the championship in the eyes of a bunch of people who already think FE is a joke
@@nationharris i love to watch it, but i could not take it seriously.
it would be so fitting for goatifi to be here , he would be champion immediately
It always amazed me how such good drivers drive like such amateurs all of a sudden
Gen 1 Formula E racing was something wlse
That carbon crunch with no engine noise is such a sickening sound
You should have named this WTG Moments in Formula E (What the Goodness)
🤣🤣 love it

A "new" series!! Hurrah!!
What in the absolute goodness is this?!?!
What the goodness
NASCAR: Chase Elliot with the first full season sweep after enough of a fan boost to get an irl fast repair and win at Phoenix
Have to say this new season has been a huge jump for FE I think. A lot of good racing and the cars look fast, even if its mostly due to the camera and tracks its still exciting to watch

I feel like Daniel Abt got the fan boost in like every race.
Vandoorne as well once he joined the series
It was so ridiculously unfair
0:03 imagine lando Norris racing here
Would be hilarious if everyone gave a back runner all the fan boosts to get them into 1st lmao
Love this, thank you!
Fanboost is a complete joke
Fucking hate these walled city courses
0:32 Ahahahaha why'd he kick the gun like that?
Di grassi took a leap out of sennas book but failed
2:27 any Penalty for Di Grassi ?
That was Nico Prost, he didnt finish the race because of the damage, Lucas did win the race because he was behind them.
Formula e is just odd. I have enjoyed watching the races at times though
0:00 This is weird as fuck
Formula E Summary
Round 01 in Mexico: Good Race
Rest of the rounds: Time to sleeping
what are you even talking about
Opposite mate. Mexico tends to be a bit boring. The rest are amazing. The last 3 races have been some of the best in the series’ history.
prost and senna again?
couple make about 50 parts for this
two champions crashing on lap 1 of 33. Hi Max
0:47
FE is just he funniest shit ever
I miss the silliness of season 1 and 2. But also I really don't at all.
And I thought NASCAR had gimmicks
European ARCA?
lowkey wanna watch formula E for the shitshow
0:47 1:33 1:47
Even the crashes are boring to watch with these cars..
lol
Wtf
they don't have halo?
To be honest, old Formula E HUD better than new HUD
They made the cars uglier with each passing year
Yep facts.
Agreed, S1 cars were nice. Now they look like Mario Karts.
What a joke
Has the racing even gotten better since then? I rarely watch it. Not a fan of boring cars on narrow street tracks
10 points for a dumb comment. Well done.
Yes. Alot better.
A lot better. If you're in the UK channel 4 youtube channel has the full races. Diriyah and India rounds have been good so far this year, season opener in Mexico was a bit dull.
Formula E? You mean Formula J as for Joke. Yes because electric cars are just jokes, or toys for overgrown children. Ridiculous.
that looks so dangerous without halo
What the goodness
