According to Reigle, the challenge with locales like Paris is twofold: as FE cars get faster, these 90-degree road circuit turns to pose safety concerns, but the game also demands a firm grasp on the pulse of local politics. Due to the election year, FE did not attend Paris last year, resulting in a lack of momentum.
The back-to-back American races in season one were an illustration of the closed streets vs. racing track dichotomy. In Miami, last-minute regulatory issues meant that the track was not ready for the race. The second event at Long Beach went considerably more smoothly, thanks in part to FE’s collaboration with well-known organisers of the city’s IndyCar race.
