formula e is extremely funny to me because it's like... EVs are simply too straightforward and consistent and 'ideal' to make for an entertaining racing platform, especially in a racing series that's meant to be relatively cheap to get into (ie, one where the cars are all very similar) so they have to do, you know, Game Design to make it interesting
and some of the Game Design they've done is uh, I uh would not have designed it that way
is that the one where twitter users could vote on who gets an extra speed boost
???
"second screen TV experiences" have always been extremely silly, but goodness, that might be one of the worst versions of it that I've heard of.
as someone interested in f1 (when it's not just The Red Bull Show, rip) and interested in game design I'd love to hear how you'd design a race
i think the boost zone should be a mandatory addition to all motorsports
I think F1 should introduce FanBoost but Max Verstappen specifically should be banned from getting it
they should also introduce a HaterSink that lets you vote on which part of Max's car gets to explode in lap 5
my favourite thing about it is just how petulantly furious all the drivers get about things, and since they don’t have an engine 10cm behind their head you can hear them ✨crystal clear✨
