These cars just look like some kind of Formula cars but there are some of important differences: - first for now all cars are more or less the same (there's no research competition behind motors or aerodynamics like in WEC or F1) - the race rules are not so meaningful to me: changing cars in the middle of the race doesn't add to the fun, why not doing 2 shorter races? I see it as a minor low budget futurist racing series to exploit the "electric motors" trend in automotive.

Real investments go to WEC for technology or to F1 for PR and brand strength.

Things might change when teams will have the chance to customize their cars more (mainly motor, batteries)

Edit: they race in very nice locations anyway, that's the only cool thing about the series :p

This was true in the first season, but in season two the motor regulations opened up. Teams are now allowed to choose their own motor and gearbox, and there are (I think) about six variations in use. Packaging differences between the motors has led to some variation in rear suspension as well.

Aero, battery, and tires remain standard for all the teams.

The mention in the video that they are now able to make modifications to their cars and that will spark further innovation in the sport.

They don't look like Formula 1 cars at all, the layout is similar but all the details are different.

It's actually much closer to an Indycar, both built by Dallara.
