    Shame this technology is not exciting for spectators.

    Its like beating a dead horse, we all know electric cars will have a important part in the future of everyday mobility but its share on motorsport will remain small for decades.

    Just like diesel, it was the n°1 choice for every segment on several markets around the world for the last decade and its share on motorsport was insignificant, the only good effort was curiously also a VAG effort in Dakar with the Diesel Touaregs.

    You are forgetting the Audi diesel Le Mans prototypes.
    Never stop dreaming because one day it might happen.

    You miss the point. Diesel didnt need promotion by motorsport, it was massive already (and boosted by Govts pushing it as 'clean' due to CO2 targets).

    Electric needs all the help it can get...

    They wrote the rules to give diesel an advantage at that time didn't they? Because they wanted to get more diesels in motorsport.

    Yip, just a photo I found online but I know the track well. Grew up watching racing there and have driven it myself a few times too.
