The new cars were fast, and we had a runaway winner for the first time that I can remember in Formula E. It felt like a "normal" race, which is quite an accomplishment. It's past time they moved away from the tight street circuits. As I already knew would happen, the aesthetics were a non-issue that nobody noticed once the lights went out.
The cars look fast, finally. Hopefully the courses can be more expansive now. Maybe they can even evolve from, ahem, treaded tires. This is remarkable progress from switching cars at half-distance less than a decade ago.

Formula E races in Sao Paulo tomorrow, right in the same area where Indycar had their Sao Paulo race.
"I felt the long-term protection of the "500" depended on a solid series of top level open-wheel, oval track races. To that end, this league was created because CART provided no long-term guarantees to the "500" or to oval track racing."
