And I’ve found some more answers, as http://www.fiaformulae.com/en/news/2016/october/insight-how-the-cars-have-changed/ goes into some of this.

LMP gets away with it because they’ve got 2 doors. I’d be a little hesitant to put anything explosive that close to the drivers, especially with the crazy loads and vibrations that the cars go through. Harrier will pull lots of G’s, but they’re relatively smooth compared to the F1 car bouncing all around. Closing the…

And the guys won’t be able to get out.

First time they go upside down in the gravel that plow will fill the cockpit with gravel.

I’m quite disappointed they’re hung up on that visual atrocity. It’s not going to work as it should, it’s going to be more difficult for driver extraction, and it looks absolutely awful. The RB aeroscreen is a much better alternative, but since F1 is focused on the halo, it’s been put on the back burner.

And has a young Brazilian riding it.

It’s hard to recover from damage like that.
For the rest of the race they may have to just wing it

Mexicos gonna pay for it.

Ah thanks for the clarification.

McLaren provided the season 1 (2014/2015) motor. Season 2 (2015/2016) opened up the formula to teams developing their own motors, and as of Season 3 (2016/2017), nobody’s using the stock McLaren motor (although IIRC Mahindra’s using a McLaren-based motor).

AFAIK yes, in those aspects . The primary goal for FE is not to push the boundary of speed but be at the forefront of EV and related technologies . The FIA have stepped in and set in concrete that in the fifth season (2018-2019) the series will move to single make chassis and batteries in hopes that drivers can…

The motors and motor control units are currently supplied by McLaren Applied Technologies . At 120kW / 130Nm they are possibly the highest output per kg of weight available on the market . MAT have also snagged the contract to supply the battery packs from 2017 onwards, a contract which once belonged to Williams…

I’m actually not sure there - I think some of the manufacturers are using suppliers to build their motors, while others are doing it themselves.

Formula E does have manufacturer supplied motor, gearbox, rear suspension (really as a side effect of gearbox), inverters, and cooling systems already.

People don’t buy Ferraris because they are faster on the road. They buy them because they can drop super-model-level panties faster than other cars*......

You forgot wagon, gotta go wagon, brown or otherwise. Friend owns a 328 XI wagon. Amazing car.

The same annoying host that is constantly saying “...at speeds approaching SIXTY-FIVE MILES PER HOUR, with DANGEROUS DISREGARD for the public!”?

she is the only reason I watched skipped through this video...

Thank you. The whole article read like she doesn’t realize Paul Walker is an actor, not the character. CGI Paul Walker is a terrible idea. Brian O’Conner played by some other actor would be fine. It’s not as though it would be difficult to find an actor capable of the role.
