It was a good race. I love the drone shots following behind the cars. It’s amazing to me that they can keep up with the cars so well. The operators flying them are clearly very skilled.
Although in the first few races I was pleased that the new regs made the racing more exciting and competitive, I’ve decided that I’m really not that fond of this new hybrid formula.
As I’ve mentioned before, I spent more than a dozen years driving my sports car on race tracks, so I have a pretty fair understanding of race driving techniques.
But the techniques the drivers have to use to manage the electric power have become too complex and arcane. Read this article about "super clipping" and tell me that you think this kind of thing makes the racing more interesting.
I’ll keep watching, but I just don’t feel as connected to the driving experience as I did under previous regulations.
