Sooner or later, the petrol IS all going to run out... Will you refuse to watch the 2074 F1 season because the cars are battery powered? Motorsport evolves all the time, like it or not, that is the future.

To be honest if I was interested in the words 'electric' or 'eco' I wouldn't be here.

I prefered the motorsport of old, before technology took over

No, I mainly won't be watching it because I will be dead.

When electric cars go old and start breaking down. Are people going to get electrocuted?

I think the race series will be great. At least the sparkys are thinking the right way.

I think motorsport before technology took over was called running

I certainly don't, but it'd be a very boring place if we all liked the same thing. Personally I'm a car enthusiast - I like cars.

It`s hard enough to stay awake during the current F1 snoozathon never mind if it goes eco!

[rpguk]

I think it's fair to say the cityEV class will be a bit snooze worthy - they're racing th(however the fk you do that naff upside down exclamation mark)nks. I thought that project was abandoned?

The other two classes could be interesting, sure it'll be different but the drivers and teams will adapt to come across that. I think it's important that while technology is used to create the powerplant it's reach isn't allowed too far into driver aids. It'll take time to develop.

They have Ginetta and Westfield on board which is a good sign IMHO. I'll keep an eye on this.

+1

I like high revving petrol engines, but having an EV race series will hopefully accelerate development of batteries, motors etc.

Who knows, perhaps someone will make an EV that is actually fun to drive...
