Roborace, the autonomous-vehicle racing series that’s seen in the making, is finally here. Well, for the most part. It’s here with some great car liveries for its , but the lingering question is of how much we’ll actually get to see them race.

The series’ Twitter page, which has been a hype machine of about its inaugural “Season Alpha” since ,tweeted a photo of three cars lined up, each with their own fresh livery, on Monday. The tweet was captioned with “Our robots are ready to race!” and a Season Alpha hashtag, and they’re robots that would be great—at least, from a visual perspective—to watch.

Just look at them. They’re on the current iteration , which is Roborace’s with a human cockpit that the series , and they look great. (The “Robocar”is the goal, which resembles a and doesn’t have any place for a fallback human driver.)

But how much we’ll actually get to see them race, in terms of traditional racing broadcasts and aside from edited videos from the series, isn’t clear.

Details around the first season are ambiguous, other than a with Spain, Italy, the UK, Hungary and the United States listed as event locations, and, when asked about the start of the season on Twitter a few days ago, the Roborace account there aren’t dates yet but that the series would have its “first Season Alpha event (behind closed doors) on Monday in Spain.”When asked if it would be streamed, the account there would be live Instagram stories and videos posted after the fact.

Jalopnik asked Roborace iflater events in the season will be publicized, or even live streamed, an a representative for the series said the “short answer is yes.”The series plans to do some public events this year, they said, and those will be announced “in the next month.”

Until those public events, though, we’ll just have to settle for photos and clips of these sweet liveries, because that’s all we’ve got.
