I thought Marrakech was supposed to be a one-off race. I'm not sad it's back, I thought it was a great race, but I'm amazed they are returning.

Looked like to me that the track was changed solely to suit Formula E cars. To have it as a one off race would be a waste.

(Well done on being the first person that's not me to post in this thread. :P)

I thought that when they changed it, but it was done last year to coincide with a climate conference in the city, and wasn't really supposed to happen again. I mean, it doesn't matter because it's great to see a series racing in Africa, they just need to go to Australia or New Zealand now to get more continents than F1!
 
MSAD Andretti (who cant keep the same name for longer than a season) has a livery almost identical to NIO.

Another day, another "let's try to set a new record for tightest hairpin ever" track.

Not really happy with most FE designs. Maybe this is decent enough without that - no chicanes certainly is a positive sign - but oftentimes it feels not much thought goes into these.

More thought than you think goes in. All tracks are designed to make the cars A: work, and B: look good. The tracks wouldn't be too good with ICE engines, but great with electric.
 
Tom Blomqvist will race in the second Andretti.

2 bits of news from today.

Kobayashi will replace Blomqvist for Hong Kong

Vernon Kay will be presenting Channel 5's coverage this season. I like him as a presenter, but he isn't really the kind of person I'd associate with motorsport.
