 * Formula E Gameplay

Since Formula E cars operate exclusively via electric power, a vital component of the motorsport is strategic battery management. As drivers accelerate, the onboard battery is drained of energy, and only while coasting/braking does the battery begin to regenerate lost energy. To be a truly competitive Formula E driver, racers will need to smartly adapt their racing style to ensure that they maintain enough charge to complete each event. If the battery runs out of charge, it's game over as soon as the car comes to a complete stop without crossing the finish line! What I would like to know is what the assist problems from the McLaren update has to do with the current (Formula E) update. They said it 'slipped' into that build, but was for something else (like drafting for Nascar only). I can't see the correlation between assists and the events in this update.
