May attract some of the F1 audience!

Stoffel’s potential for an in-race recovery will be one to watch

Definetely!

Should be an interesting race all around given the temperatures, the big names in front & Stoff's recovery.

 

2 x 180s Attack Mode confirmed.

Busy pitlane

One of the best track guides I've ever seen in any series, courtesy of Da Costa just now. Cool.

[thegamer23]

Hope for a good race!

Have fun!

My money on JEV

[thegamer23]

Wow evans

[Ben1445]

Wehrlein a bit of a mobile chicane for Evans through those opening turns

[Disgrace]

Wehrlein with his typical dirty driving.

[Ben1445]

Mmm Pascal play fair now

[thegamer23]

Evans is NOT happy

[OvDrone]

Me neither. Not enjoying Wehrlein's defense. 

Ok, done. Good.

[thegamer23]

Huge pack

[thegamer23]

This is bonkers!!

[OvDrone]

Smallest violin for the Tick.

[Disgrace]

A black and white flag for Wehrlein is needed here.

[OvDrone]

Usually when I think of works Porsche drivers, I think of cool, sleek and savvy racerafters but it's the opposite in FE with Lotterer and Wehrlein lol

[Ben1445]

Evans beginning to reel the leading 4 back in

[thegamer23]

Techeetah attacks!

Reliable rumours have then hiring Da Costa next season

[OvDrone]

The cheetahs did good there.

[Ben1445]

Looks like Evans is in super slipstream mode

[Disgrace]

Cassidy is having such a bad season. 

[Ben1445]

Vandoorne to 14th

[Disgrace]

Some of the races this year have been quiet, but this is an old-school frantic one!

[Ben1445]

Ok ok ok, Attack Mode phase done early

It’s energy and temperatures now

[Ben1445]

Techeetah are looking strong

[OvDrone]

This track is so good for FE; love it.

[Ben1445]

Vergne hunting

Wizzardry from Edo.

Great race. Magic.

[Disgrace]

That's Frijns firmly out of contention, Cassidy beat him despite the spin.

[OvDrone]

Wonderful race! Happy to share it here with y'all. 

This championship is intriguing and I am delighted to savor this fight. Great drive by Mortara and so happy for Venturi. I like this team. Cheers.

[Ben1445]

Next six weeks has six races in three double headers.

New York, London and Seoul.

One of the top four in the standings on course for a title.

Great Race    

 

Marrakesh delivers!
 

First 20 minutes were all-out bonkers action, than it got very tactical, and was really uncertain till the very end.

This season is something else!

Mortara is such a beast this year.
He was great also last season, but got unlucky in the Berlin's finale with that race start crash.

Interesting tactics in Teheetah, and quite a misteryous final drop of perfomance.

What happened there??

Evans is such a good driver, he maximized the result today, same as Vandoorne who started from the back.

Now Mortara leads with a bit of a gap on Jev, Vandoorne & Evans, but it's still WIDE OPEN between these 4.

 

On to New York!

Solid recovery from Vandoorne, could be crucial those 4 points.

 

Mortara certainly looks the in form man though.

[Ben1445]

According to my records, that was Formula E's third fastest race, clocking in at 129.62 km/h, just a touch faster than the last visit here in early 2020. The two faster races were Valencia 2021 (R2) and Mexico City 2022. 

[thegamer23]

Also, i guess Mitch Evans energy strategy was a bit hampered by the Ultra-aggressive defences by Wehrlein in the first few laps.

Was entertaining to watch the drama tho, not gonna lie! 

[thegamer23]

[RSRally]

That was a very racey race, tight on energy at the end though!

Would be happy if Marrakech ended up standing in for whichever race inevitably gets cancelled from next year's calendar.

[Ben1445]

Yeah it's really not that bad a venue. I also like having a point of reference back to some of the earliest FE cars, so having at least one appearance in Gen3 would be very interesting. 

[juicy sushi]

It was an excellent race, and Mortara was outstanding. Dennis also was excellent and Askew nearly grabbed points. Not sure he’s been appraised properly as a rookie. Porsches went nowhere. Not sure why they are so hit and miss.

Interesting. Battery temperature model was still initialising in the early laps of the race and so fully power was not available.

 

Still not a very Porsche-y sort of a problem to have, though.
