The future is here!
I watched a Formula E race on the TV yesterday (was held in mid-December). First time I'd seen a full race. Aside from the obvious lack of engine noise (replaced by an odd whine) the racing was of a high standard. Felipe Massa is a driver there and he and others are not exactly slouches!
What's that you say? Those cars couldn't be entertaining.
False.

The race was held in Saudi Arabia (of all places! One of the most oil rich countries on earth).
Formula E Championship - 2018 Saudia Ad Diriyah E-Prix (https://www.ad-diriyah-eprix.com/en/) Conditions were challenging with rain interfering with qualifying, and sand blown onto the track on race day offering some traction challenges!

There was also a good line up of women drivers in this, and other events during the motorsport festival week.
It also featured Saudi Arabia's first unsegregated rock concert featuring international artists!
This series is well worth watching.
