I searched Jalopnik and Oppo and I didn’t find any sort of information about Extreme E, just a mention of racing in the arctic . In fact they have a ship I guess that will go all over and have some science involved. Newey and Verne are starting a team. It looks interesting. I am not into FE, I understand we need to do it I guess, but after growing up with noise that vibrated through my chest to the point I thought my heart would stop , it just doesn’t do it for me. T he exotic locations and exposure for the environment while having a series that looks cool might just work for me. I don’t watch Dakar at all for engine noise, it’s just a different thing altogether and doesn’t enhance it like going to see F1 for me .

Ok, I am just going to admit I have no idea what that is..

It’s a meme popular with the kids these days. The face of internet gamer “Markiplier” pasted onto the head of Lord Farquaad from Shrek, combined with a simple “E” and sometimes other things. Like in this case, Mark Zuckerberg.

It’s a nonsense response - a non-response - that conveniently has “E” in it, as “E” was a big part of your post. S omewhat ironically, it’s a meme about nothing.

I took one look at your meme and my mind added a slap bass outro with some light percussion.

I now understand why.

I understand we need to do it I guess, but after growing up with noise that vibrated through my chest to the point I thought my heart would stop, it just doesn’t do it for me.

It will be very difficult for our generation (and earlier) to emotionally dissociate “cars” (or even “motorised vehicles”) from the internal combustion engine.

Most e n g i n e s are some sort of pump; just as our heart is. ICE engines also radiate heat. That’s why starting a car that has been stood up for a long time is felt as such a joyous event: suddenly “it’s alive”, throbbing and warm.

Having said that, I think we will all “get” Formula E... eventually. Its joys will be different, but no less satisfying. We just need time.

We’ll still get a very special buzz from the noise and smell of, say, an old vintage car or aeroplane though.

Looks pretty cool - hope they can actually make it come to fruition.

Will get quite a bit more real when the cars they’re going to use aren’t just renders.

I tried to like FE but it’s just bland. I also like circuits like Spa and Suzuka etc.. and I hate barricaded in street circuits with no elevation changes . No replacement for displacement , it was amazing.

Saving remote and threatened ecosystems by bringing a racing series to them. These guys are fucking geniu ses...

They claim on their site that atmospheric greenhouse gases are at their highest levels ever, so I’m sure they have a good handle on the science involved...

Well Newey and a Roths child are involved, that makes me more positive.

You can get anyone involved if you write a big enough check.

We’ll see how long the Rothschild’s money/patience holds up.

I think Formula E still has to find the right “recipe” to win us over. Maybe if the cars become a lot more powerful - I don’t know.

Regarding those racetracks, you are absolutely right, but that could change, some day.

I bet old fighter pilots found early jets s o m e w h a t disappointing too , until they j e t a i r c r a f t developed their own c h a r a c t e r ( a n d v e r y special charms. )

It just so happens my dad was a pilot in Vietnam, there are a lot more gizmos but the jet itself is just as awesome. Chuck Yeager always said he favorite plane was the newest one. Although my dad had a Stearman biplane and he loved it.

Wow, nice. The first ever p l a s t i c model kit I built (with a lot of help from my sister’s boyfriend!) was of a Stearman!

I seemed to remember your father had been a pilot but didn’t feel it was appropriate to mention it myself.

S t i l l , I w o n d e r i f a fter the ma i d e n f l ight of , s a y , a Gloster Meteor , t h e m a n a t t h e c ont r o l s f e l t a b i t... u n d e r w h e l m e d , p e r h a p s ?

When it gets to that point I'll just watch drone racing.

He liked to try and scare the bejeezus out of my friends, I knew what was coming. He doesn’t have it anymore, he had a twin engine Cessna for a bit. I was supposed to fly but they claimed nobody was retiring and my guaranteed flight contract was not going to happen. I can fly but I have never taken off or landed, so there is that issue.

Yep, trying to make a buck of pretending to care.
