很多年来FIA(国际汽车联盟)都尝试要在纽约举办 F1 赛事
但因为噪音与政治问题一直无法成真
但在上周，Formula E 在布鲁克林进行了一场50圈每圈约1.2英哩的比赛
而且开赛前几天门票都卖光光了
Formula E 主要的规则如下：
10支车队，20位车手，40辆赛车
每支车队会包括2位车手和4辆赛车。
会在10个不同城市举行。
赛道都会在市区内，大约2.5至3公里长。
赛车会在3秒内由0加速至100公里/小时，最高速度为220公里/小时。
噪音水平：一般汽车=70dB；电动方程式=80dB；巴士=90dB。
比赛时一位车手会有两辆赛车，在第一辆赛车电力耗尽时车手进站换车
目前电动马达最大功率上限限制为200kW (上限会随着赛季做调整)
另外还有一些详细的规则例如车重等，就不一一列了
跟F1不同的是，FE将自由练习、排位赛、正赛压缩在两天内，而且全部都是街道赛

New York's First Formula E Race Electrifies Fans
For years Formula 1 organizers have tried to bring Formula racing to New
York City, but to no avail. Budget constraints, noise concerns, and
political challenges within the Fédération Internationale de
l'Automobile (FIA) stymied attempts.
But last week the FIA Formula E Qualcomm New York City ePrix—a race that
pits electricity-powered cars against each other for nearly 50 laps
around a 1.2-mile hairpin course—did it. More than 15,000 fans attended
the ePrix, which ran for two days along the water in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
Tickets sold out days before the gates opened.
The backdrop proved as compelling as any. From the main grandstand,
spectators could see the Statue of Liberty and the Freedom Tower as they
watched Sam Bird win for his team, DS Virgin Racing.
Richard Branson attended—he is the primary backer behind DS Virgin
Racing, of course. So did Leonardo DiCaprio, Catherine Zeta Jones, and
Chris Hemsworth, along with a robust mix of European racing enthusiasts,
Manhattan dignitaries, and Brooklyn locals—all whom roared loudly
whenever one of the electric racers would hit a wall or hitch itself on
one of the turns.
When I asked team owner Michael Andretti how he'd approach the course
himself, he simply said: “Try to survive.” He also predicted that
electric cars will dominate U.S. roads in 10 years' time. “This is the
future of racing,” Andretti said.
