Ligt het aan mij of is die render nogal vervormd. Bodywork lijkt scheef en bv. de assen zijn niet gelijk.

Wat is trouwens de aerodynamische functie van het bodywork rondom de achterwielen? Indycar heeft dat ook, maar ik vind de wagens er een tupperware uitstraling van krijgen.

Die bumpers achter de achterwielen zijn om te voorkomen dat een wagen de lucht in vliegt als een wagen er achter op rijdt omdat nu de banden niet geraakt worden, wat wel kan als ze niet beschermd zijn.

Felix Rosenqvist will add the FIA Formula E Championship to his 2016 race commitments, having been confirmed by Mahindra Racing as its second driver for the third season of the championship.

Rosenqvist was confirmed as part of Mahindra’s overall program announcement on Monday. The talented 24-year-old Swede will join Nick Heidfeld, who has been in all three seasons of the championship.

“I’m thrilled to join Mahindra Racing at this exciting time. Racing in Formula E will be something genuinely brand new to me. It’s a step into the unknown, but I’ve had a very warm welcome by Mahindra Racing and I have a strong and experienced team-mate in Nick.

“I’ve tested the car already and I look forward to intensifying our preparations during the two pre-season tests at Donington. I love new challenges and this is going to be a massive one, for sure. I’m fully aware that it will take some time to learn the trade of electric racing, as the technology in Formula E is so different to what I’m accustomed.

“You need to be fast, as always, but you also have to be clever and energy-efficient. I also find the calendar highly exciting. We’ll be racing on street tracks in some incredible locations, and I can’t wait for Hong Kong.”

It’s been a busy season for Rosenqvist after winning last year’s FIA Formula 3 European Championship. He’s raced a partial season in the U.S. in the Indy Lights Presented by Cooper Tires, where he won three races, was meant to race the Rolex 24 at Daytona in a PC car, drove the Spa 24 Hours with AMG-Team AKKA ASP and finished second (co-drove with Renger van der Zande and Tristan Vautier), and most recently, made his DTM debut at Moscow. He also tested for Chip Ganassi Racing’s Verizon IndyCar Series team at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

10:49 – German car manufacturer BMW has announced a tie-in with Andretti ahead of the 2016/17 Formula E season, in a move that could lead to a works partnership in the future.

BMW and Andretti will cooperate at an engineering level in an initial two-year deal, with the potential for factory involvement from 2018/19, depending on series development.

"The commitment in Formula E sees us forge new paths and demonstrate our expertise in the field of electric mobility," commented BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt.

"Over the coming years, the cooperation with Andretti Formula E will primarily focus on familiarising ourselves with the procedures and processes, and on intensifying our knowledge.

"Our works driver António Félix da Costa (also active in DTM) will be in action behind the wheel.

"A works involvement is then conceivable as of the series' fifth season."

Marquardt summed up: "The premise for all these steps is the further positive development of the series, which includes increasing the capacity of the batteries, for example."

Robin Frijns will race alongside Félix da Costa in 2016/17.
