    We arent talking about approval right now, but if/when the new series is announced.

    Fair point. Hybrid would make more sense.

    You keep talking about some approval but any approval must have a subject. When You approve something You need to know what is that something. What is that something to approve here? I am sorry but am I so hard to understand?

    Do You mean that making an EV R5 car now shall help the Swedes to get a homologation approval from Mitsubishi if in ten years FIA decides to create electric R5 car class?

    Or do You mean that they shall approve a certain sort of support to the project already now?

    Or do You mean they shall approve a support of non-FIA series for electric cars?

    Or do You mean they shall approve something completely different?

    from what I Have heard it is Rallycross that is first out with an ZE class.
    boring but true. I have tried to watch Formula e, but find it boring. Much because of lack of rev-sound.

    Why all the fuss? These eRally protos (from the Hybrid C4 to this Mirage) are nothing more than tech exercises made to capture the media interest.

    Maybe some of their features will be retained in future regs, maybe not, meanwhile they gave a lot of free publicity to their makers, as nowadays any news about EVs gets immediate worldwide coverage…

    Would be a good testbed for potential FIA homologation?

    I've been wondering, has Holzer done anything with their Corsa beyond the filming days they did last and showing it on static display at a few events last year? I've haven't seen anything of any actual further testing. Did they give up after Opel showed no interest and/or got sold to PSA?

    PSA clearly said no unless Opel starts to generate profit. That's it.
