New team in the Formula E confirmed. Matt and Tommy will be racing for P1 Motorsport... 😆

Crazy to think how far you guys have come in less than 12 months. Congrats to you both.

Formula-E is very interesting. The problem is that most races are in street circuits and they need to hold the speed due to battery limitations. But the smaller cars with more acceleration than combustion cars (eletric actually has a system to prevent too much accel, because in eletric, it is instantanious) can really turn into something fun, given the right conditions. As it is improving more and more, I see a bright future for the competition. And I hope P1 now starts talking a little bit about it.

I remember seeing Matt drive the F1 car a few years ago, now Matt and Tommy drive the Formula E car, pretty awesome to watch, nice job!

And we can be confident Tommy is no longer wondering why they call it 'snap oversteer'. Held it though, so good on him.

So happy for you guys!! Looks incredible, next let’s get you driving on a street track 🤙🏻

Love watching two regular racing nerds live out our wildest dreams. Hope it was a blast!

Been patiently waiting for this video so I can watch two amazing guys live out the dreams of so many of us. The hard work you two have put in, this is more than well deserved.

I still remember matt crying n being and absolutely speechless after driving the Renault

[riasatmanzoor]

This was amazing!! so happy for you guys...really lucky to have that opportunity.

Matt's gonna have a Ferrari moment

[wendymaryswart]

Tommy been nervous and just shutting down is the most relatable thing ever

[maestroazzey]

It was a rollercoaster ride you two going independent together, but what a rollercoaster ride is has become so far. I hope you two are enjoying every second of it as long as this may last. Very happy for you two and I was grinning probably just as much as you two did in that car. Now it's time for Red Bull to let you two have a drive in one of their show cars 😁

OT: the acceleration and deceleration of the GEN3 is immense compared to the previous two GEN cars!

So happy for you guys!! You both deserve to be given that kind of chances and live out the dream of many racing fans out there! Formula E is an amazing championship that may not be perfect, but it's definetly entertaining and deserves its spot in the world of motorsports. Oh and great choice in music btw, dropping Neffex in there with How's it supposed to feel and The Itch 😉

[adamtroy]

So great to see you guys in the car! You’re building a great channel.. awesome stuff! ✌️🙌

[TheodoreAggelopoulos]

I'm happy for you guys and I'm so damn jealous!

[Tommyplodocus]

Matt's confidence is what I'd hope for going into this but I know I'd be a puddle...like Tommy 😅

[jaredccain]

You guys are delightful. Got some proper youtubing in AND Tommy persevered through his nerves...well done, chaps.

[dennisvansteenberge]

You guys are amazing! The whole time watching this video I was smiling and feeling excited for you! Hope you can do a lot more of this!

Assuming the impressive brakes are mostly from the motor switching to re-gen mode (engine breaking) must have some clever systems to stop the rear wheels locking.
