This saturday night, Formula E will be back in action in Miami. 
 

It's been 2 months since the last Formula e-Prix in Buenos Aires, a very dramatic yet chaotic race won by Antonio Felix da Costa after the crashes of title favourites, Lucas di Grassi & Sebastien Buemi.
Nicolas Prost and Nelson Piquet Jr. completed the podium, closing on Di Grassi & Buemi in the drivers standings while Nick Heidfeld's curse continued in style. 

 

 

 

The drivers standings now looks like this:

2. Sam Bird (Virgin Racing): 48 pti

5. Nelson Piquet (China Racing): 37 pti

6. Antonio Felix Da Costa (Almin Aguri): 29 pti

7. Jaime Alguersuari (Virgin Racing): 26 pti

9. Franck Montagny (Andretti): 22 pti

10. Karun Chandhok (Mahindra): 18 pti

11. Bruno Senna (Mahindra): 18 pti

12. Oriol Servia (Dragon Racing): 16 pti

13. Jarno Trulli (Trulli): 12 pti

14. Charles Pic (Andretti): 12 pti

Track looks a bit short and uninteresting from the map... but this could mean more time at full power?

[SR388]

Yall ever been to Miami?

[sportyskells]

[Seanspeed]

[HistoryFan]

Nice to see Duval in Formula E

[Lotusseven]

When's the last time Scott Speed drove an open wheeler?

 

2007 (Toro Rosso) IIRC.

This will be a great way to start my saturday night all-nighter

Whoops! Spotted it, thank you!   

Btw, the weather is set to be perfect in Miami for all the weekend. I guess we'll have to wait for London to see the first ever wet race in Formula E 

[WhiteSGPlayer]

Duval gets all of my votes

[Risil]

Only in my mind. What's it like?

[midgrid]

Ah, the streets of Miami!  I know them well:

[DrF]

Wow, a motorsport banquet!

[jr80]

I'll wait till the race to pass judgement on the circuit-racing has been great so far. Did anyone see the article on TV production in autosport last week.really impressive to read how they're doing it and I like it so far. Worried about cash flow issues that have been reported this week.

[benn5325]

Really quite looking forward to this. Gonna be a great weekend weather wise. My 1st Formula E race and after watching the last few on TV I have to admit I really am looking forward to this.

Have a great weekend! Can't wait for your impressions about the serie after watching it live then!

[Jimisgod]

I want Buemi to win.

Who's replacing the nose-candy driver?

[HeidfeldsBeard]

Right I'm going to bet on a last lap suspension failure for Heidfeld

[jonpollak]

Did you read my post in the Daytona 500 thread?

It's a shadow of its former self these days.

All posers and overpriced Bull$hit now.

 

Shame really.

Looks like Servia won't be driving anymore for Dragon in the upcoming races too, he took a Team Partner and Managing Director role.

Good grief.  Somewhere that the beer is more expensive than the UK?  And a 20% service charge - on a beer??  Try that in a Redhill pub and see where it gets you....

[justinspiderholden]

Looking forward to this race, I'm surprised its on the same weekend as F1

 

Even though the cars are Ugly and Slow I must admit to having enjoyed watching it

Nice pint of Loïc Duvel.

Edited by midgrid, 12 March 2015 - 00:22.

[maximilian]

Loic Duval is an exciting addition to the race.  Scott Speed... well... at least he's "ex-F1"    I am a little disappointed though that Dragon puts Duval in the car NOW, instead of another American driver.  And is Speed really the best Andretti could dig up?  Surely there would have been a more interesting choice available?

Another Big new.
VITANTONIO LIUZZI is replacing Cerruti in Trulli Team.

Good, two useless drivers replaced with some decent ones.

Edited by thegamer23, 12 March 2015 - 19:36.

[Risil]

Scott Speed and Tonio Liuzzi, together again. It's like it never stopped being 2007.

[Prost1997T]

Loic Duval is an exciting addition to the race.  Scott Speed... well... at least he's "ex-F1"

Duval is there because Servia stepped up to a management role at Dragon (http://www.racer.com...r-dragon-racing). Speed is already an Andretti team driver in Red Bull GRC.

Edited by Prost1997T, 12 March 2015 - 19:54.

[midgrid]

Now we only need Sébastien Bourdais and Sebastian Vettel to join for the series to reach peak Toro Rosso.

VITANTONIO LIUZZI is replacing Cerruti in Trulli Team.

Good, two useless drivers replaced with some decent ones.

And that could well be permanent, as Cerruti isn't coming back.

[maximilian]

Never been a big Liuzzi fan, but he's a HUGE improvement over the hapless Cerruti, regardless of how much I'd like to see a woman in the series.  Still bummed that with all these substitutions there is only ONE American in the field.

We'd all be better off.

[STRFerrari4Ever]

Shame that it's on the same weekend as F1 but the time slot is very good.

[Rob29]

Anyone know what is wrong with Cerruti? Thought she was doing pretty well-no info on her website.Seems we have gone from 3 possible female drivers in FE to none in past few days!

[FullThrottleF1]

What time is Quali?

[thegamer23]

What time is Quali?

Have a look at the OP.
Anyway Rob, Cerruti won't drive anymore for Trulli.
She was dead slow and erratic really, so not suprise tbh.

Aww, that's not really fair. I'm a Miami native (although I moved 2 years ago) and Miami Beach is notoriously expensive thanks to the tourists that swarm every single inch of it most of the year. There are plenty of cheap places to have a beer and avoid crowds. Take a 6 pack of Kalik Gold (strong bahamian beer) to Key Biscayne with a publix sub, sit on the sand at Crandon Park, and tell me it's not a great place. That said, the traffic literally made me want to throw up 9 times out of 10. It never ends. The real estate market is also out of control... again.

Wow! does not seem to have changed much since I used to walk around there with my parents in the 1950s-they are going to need a lot of barriers? Is Katherine going to get a drive? nothing on her website.As city centre circuits and female drivers are my main passions these days this has special interest.

How Duran gets so many votes everytime is beyond me.

Maybe he gives his fans Taco flavoured kisses for votes? 

 

Hope Vergne wins tomorrow though, grown to like JEV a lot.
