Formula E in New York

[SunsetZed]

I've just realised that the Formula E is on in New York when I'm there this weekend so I'm thinking I might pop over on Saturday as non grandstand tickets are only $15. Has anyone been and if so was it any good? Any tips?

Yes, I enjoyed (loved!) it (Paris E-Prix, but I was working).

Go with an open mind and accept that it is a 'motorsport product' rather than pure 'motorsport'. You might enjoy it, you might not, but it's an experience.

I went to the London one in Battersea Park the other year - the cars were interesting enough and the city locations are convenient if you are in the area (rather than out in the sticks like a traditional circuit) - but the track was so Mickey Mouse with massive barriers and fences right up against the narrow tarmac you could only see a tiny length of track from any one viewing position so it was disappointing overall.

I'm not sure I'd give up a day in New York watching it if I was a tourist, but if your are a local them fill your boots.

Thanks, I've been to New York a few times and am fortunate enough to go annually at least for work so I thought it might be something different
