Does Formula E have too much/not enough driving drama?

Fan Boost is 5 seconds of boosted power - which is too short to actually matter much. I have seen it help precisely once - in five years.

And in a given season, it is the same 5-6 divers that almost ALWAYS get it. Like you said - the most popular - not the best drivers tend to get it.
 
Sorry to see "Fan boost" is still being used in Formula E. :( Real races are about testing the ability of the cars and the drivers. "Fan boost" turns Formula E into something of a popularity contest.

I've watched exactly one Formula E race. I was puzzled at the references to "Fan boost" by the race commentators. After the race I looked that up... and pretty much lost all interest in watching another Formula E race.

Here's hoping they dump the "Fan boost" nonsense. If they do, then I'll consider watching more races.
I don't like it either, but can live with it a few years. It will go away at some point. My real interest in Formula E, as in other racing is that it pushes the technology forward. If all goes as planned, I will see my first Formula E race live next year in NYC. Fan Boost or not, can't wait!

Oh, I didn't realize it's that limited. Is it 5 seconds for the whole race, or a 5-second boost multiple times during a race?

If it's just the once, then I'm making major fuss over very little.
