what’s your dream location for a formula e circuit?

 


Honestly. Around my home town of Burton on Trent  😊, however, if Fe don’t deem it suitable for a race (and with the amount of potholes I would be very surprised if they could find a suitable patch of road) i'd love a race around and through the NEC in Birmingham. Very ExCel esque, and also a home ePrix for Jake Hughes. (And very accessible to me with a train literally stopping not too far from the centre. [NEC That is]

 

any drivers (from any level of Motorsport) that you would like to see in formula e?

 

 

This is a really great question actually.

Would love to see Victor Martins if he doesn’t get a seat at Alpine, and also Jack Doohan for the same reason. F1 wise, Mick Schumacker would also be really great, as he and the others I have mentioned have great racing prowess, and I think it would be great seeing them settle in, especially with Taylor's epic stand in drive today at the Monaco ePrix.

 

 

what does the future of formula e look like?

 

Quick if we take the gen 3 evo as the pure example of that. Cant wait to see how the sport progresses in the next 5 years and also beyond that.

When did you first get into motorsports?


Weirdly enough, it was Silverstone f1 2011, as my grandad had it on on the tv. Then as they say, the rest is history 😊 



What was the first formula e race you ever watched?


The first formula e race I watched was Berlin 2018, 4-5 races before Gen 2. It has been a very interesting 5 full seasons watching Formula E grow in to what it has become. But I wouldn’t love this sport if it wasn’t for the friends and team members I have gotten to know along the way including but not limited to:

 

James

Kelsey

Fab (pascals race engineer at Porsche.)

Jenn [GC] and Leon [Team manager] from Envision

Anthony [Chief mechanic @ Envision]

Laney (Taylor and Sam's engineer at McLaren)

 

And so many more

 

What was the first formula e race you ever went to?


I was one of the lucky 1400 people to attend London in 2021. Was such a cool day. Even if the heavens did open after the race and we all had to be evacuated from the track. Got back to the hotel soaked…

I got invited by envision, being one of their superfans, and it was a weekend to remember 😊



Met Max Guenther on the Saturday when he was with his engineers getting food, and he is the only driver I have had a selfie with every year since.

 

Other than FE, what'd your favourite motorsport?

·         F1

·         F2

·         WEC

In F1, like FE I support most of the grid



In F2, I support Taylor Barnard, Zak O’Sullivan, Victor Martins, Paul Aron, and Zane Maloney.


And


In WEC I support Robin Rene and Stoff.

Do you think you'll get the fia pass for the London eprix?

 

Short answer is I really hope so.


Where we are at now, it’s looking sort of promising, but ultimately it is down to the fia, and FE’s media delegates, to decide whether I’m worth giving a pass to or not. My account has been approved, and that’s a big step,  but the loooooong wait to see whether or not they will approve me is going to be fun, but so nervy at the same time. This blog is only a small one, but I really do thank you guys for your continued support, and stay tuned to see whether I get the accreditation or not.

And maybe an interview with Mr Eyes Forward [Stephen Lane] (still need to ask McLaren though so keep your fingers crossed!!) It would most likely be after debrief too so it may be a long night… however, if it does happen, I will put a couple of fan questions to him too. So, as I always say. Stay tuned…

What is your favourite Formula E race of all time?

For me, it would have to be London season 9 race 2. Seeing Envision crowned teams world champions at a race that you attend is pretty damn cool to say the least. Was so so so happy for the team, and ended up crying… but you know. And to see Jake officially crowned world champion too!!!!! I really wanted it to be Nick’s, but you can’t have everything you want.

 

 

If you could pick any driver who hasn't raced in Formula E before to put into Formula E, who would you pick?

 

As aforementioned, Jack Doohan Victor Martins or Mick Schumacher. Victor has done a few rookie tests for Nissan now, and has looked quick in every one he has done. Jack Doohan would be so cool too, as it truthfully doesn’t look like he will be in F1 soon… but yeah…

 

 

So yes😊.

 

Thank you guys for submitting your questions, and I hope you are enjoying these blogs outside of race roundups.

 

Monaco race round up should hopefully, if I remember, and am in the right headspace to actually do it, no later than before the special FE Bar episode with Mark Preston on Tuesday night. If you aren’t over on the FE Zone Discord, come join us 😊 I promise I don’t bite…

 

 

 

So yeah.

Thanks guys
