FORMULA 'E' IN NEW YORK CITY - RACE ONE

SAM BIRD

After a week of continuous computer problems I am finally back online. I finally ran into Formula E again. They have such a weird schedule that I kept missing them. This week was their maiden trip into New York City. Surprising that there were so many people there. This series might make it in spite of themselves. They have several drivers that I like pretty well....the ones that have been pushed out of Formula One for one reason or another. Nick Heidfeld, Prost, Vergne and Piquet. The cars are nice looking with good color combinations. The teams are owned by car and tractor manufactures, some former racecar drivers and some team owners from other series.

First place went to Sam Bird who has raced in every race since Formula E began three years ago. Second place went to Jean-Eric Vergne who came from the Toro Roso Red Bull Team in Formula One. Stephane Sarrazin came in third.
