    As a fan of Formula E, I can say with certainty that it’s the most faux-progressive sport I’ve ever seen.

      I love the actual product, but loathe the attempts at feigning some sort of progressivism that always manages to put on blast the fact that its founder was a center-right Spanish politician.

      Also, Hazel Southwell is literally right there.

      It’s kind of hilarious as a sport. There’s so many Mario Kart inspired rules and, not even sure what to call them, but things like the boost when you drive over the special spot on the road.
