Since Formula E's inaugural season got underway on the city streets late last year, there were many people that were doubting that a complete curveball in terms of the future of racing could get off the ground.
After just six dramatic races in, there has been plenty of action, including wheel-to-wheel battling, daring passes and a different winner each race. Created by Alejandro Agag back in 2012, it was a way to promote new technology and bring in the next generation of fans.
Racing, no matter what anyone says, helps to test new technologies at their absolute limit, to move forward in both an automotive and motorsport aspect, so Formula E isn't any different.
Electric road cars such as the Renault Zöe and Nissan Leaf are already out on the roads, which clearly shows the correlation on how the development will evolve over time.
Yes, any technology in its infancy will have gremlins, but with major motorsport players on board, including Williams, Michelin, Renault and McLaren, it is not like a computer game, where you can hit the pause button and reset it back to the beginning. Motorsport is a serious business, where it is a very competitive arena. Its the same in Formula E, when there are the likes of 4-time F1 world champion Alain Prost and Indycar veteran Michael Andretti involved.
Speeds may be a lot less, with strategies including energy consumption and car changes, but the racing has been fast and furious from the minute the red lights go out.
With a promising future, thanks to involving younger fans, the "FanBoost" platform and an increased presence on social media, the next season could be even more interesting. The fans' interest is key, especially with all the sessions taking place during one day.
Eight manufacturers are now on board for the 2016 season, where the action will go up a gear, along with changes in strategy.
However, the ecological impact is the biggest talking point of Formula E's approach. The zero emissions ethos that Agag has marketed as one of the main talking points is something that has to be considered.
Fossil fuel supplies will dwindle, with automotive giants such as Renault, Ford and Volkswagen having to meet stringent emission targets, as the refreshing idea of how racing will evolve has been partially shown.
Before thinking that no noise and slow cars are just boring, take a look for yourself and make up your own mind….
