Formula E returns to track this Saturday for its tenth season with a race in Mexico City, in a season that brings three new tracks and the debut of Formula E’s new ultra-fast mid-race charging system.

Now who's excited

Does anyone actually watch formula E? I thought the pikes peak run by VW was interesting, but beyond that, who wants to watch EV race cars? I'd rather watch nascar (and i despise nascar).

Bunch of Frankenstein's in Paris deciding this 50/50 '26 car. It's not too late to chuck these bods out and get some real leaders in with proper non hybrid V8 motor race cars in mind.

I must say I would watch NASCAR easy rather than FE.

I tried getting into nascar 20 years ago... I just couldn't. Gave me a small look into the motorsports world though. Watched a little indycar at that time before eventually switching over to f1. Although I'll say in person, I can enjoy just about any motorsport. I like going to regional stock car races, regardless of how boring the actual racing is, it's always a good time.

Never been to a stock car race, they call it banger racing here but I try to get to the Brands track to watch the BTCC and other races also the American Speedfest 11 is a good one for a day out with the Nascar Whelen Euro Series races.
