Grand Prix Rejects

The BBC have an article on Jamie Chadwick joining Formula Extreme.E, a championship I'd not heard about until I read the article. It's a new all-electric SUV offroad championship starting in 2021.

It'll be interesting to see if they manage to get any TV coverage for this, with each event being run over 3 days I suppose a 1-hour highlights package after it's finished is the best you might get (if anything)?

Here are a few articles from Autosport if you're interested (and if it doesn't take you over your number of free views for the month):

And if you are only going to read one, read the middle one...

I remember seeing the word "docusport" from them, which as far as I can tell is an attempt to make the fact that there'll only be highlights seem innovative.

Sorry, didn't mean for you to feel like an idiot. Only informed. Which you are now.

Autosport reporting that each car in this series will be with two drivers. Nothing radical about that. But there's a twist. Each two-driver pairing will consist of a male and a female in order to promote gender equality.

EDIT: And of course Agag is defending his decision against criticism: https://www.autosport.com/fe/news/14923 ... river-rule

Has anybody been following this? I watched the first season, missed the second, and I don't know what's going on this year.
