Possibly like me, you've been following the news of the new Formula E, the world's first fully-electric racing series due to start in September. You can catch up with news of it in eronrules' excellent thread here or the official website here.
However, they are including a detail that has given several of us pause. They are going to encourage fans to vote on social media for the driver they want to give an edge to in the race.
The online fan vote, which will close shortly before the start of a race, will allow the three most popular drivers to receive one boost each, which will increase the power of the car from 133kw (180bhp) to 200kw (270bhp).

So, I want to find out if anyone thinks this is a good idea. My suspicion is that everyone hates it and the only people supporting it also hate it but figure there are people out there who will like it and that it will encourage closer engagement and stuff like that. So, socially engage with this poll and let people know what you think!
