omg, the chicanes are simply badly designed... All of them are way too tight !!!


T15/T16/T17 chicane is the worse.

seriously, they need to change them as soon as possible !! Commentators are also saying the 1st & last chicane are way too tight.

They are driving at 50 km/h. :roll:

Why the chicanes? Just use the 2 straights completely connected by the 2 fast corners, the detour in the stadium slows them down anyway. Was expecting much more of this track.

They need a certain amount of heavy braking per lap for regen, don't they? That's why all the Formula E tracks are full of chicanes.

Buenos Aires is a fast flowing circuit with only 1 chicane. Plenty of braking in the stadium section here.

Looks like the T15/T16/T17 chicane has been changed 'a bit' after the shakedown.

Kind of disappointed that they haven't brought back the NASCAR kerbs for the chicane on the main straight.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

Did anyone just watch the Simulator "Erace"?

Funniest thing I've ever seen, the drivers went full troll trying to take each other off and Buemi got pissed off :mrgreen:
