I just accept that it's going to happen in some years, and while some of the experience is lost I think the sport will still be fun to watch and/or drive. If there was some other futuristic way to power racing cars that kept things the same forever, I'd prefer that, but I don't see it.
N.O.T what do you think manu's are gonna do in 10 years when half their sales are coming from electric, or in 20 years when it's 75%? Keep making petrol WRC's?

That was not the question
Every engine which burns something is combustion one by principle. I asked because I do not know about any serial petrol/diesel/bio-fuel engine which is not based on combustion principle.
Anyway I am strongly against bio fuels as they are known now. They made much more harm than good and the only thing they have been good for is to tunnel billions on subsidies.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

When there is something done by a human or something burnt, there will always be a siginificant amount of CO2. Not such a big issue as diesel NOx imho.
BTW, what is the composition of Panta racing fuel this season. I remember something E85 like, anyway bioethanol had quite a big percentage in it.Last edited by Tarmop; 16th March 2018 at 13:26.

Sure but I understand that the Audi research mentioned by Francis and Stefan is focusing on algaes which live from consuming CO2 and by that creating bio-mass for the fuel - i.e. sort of a zero-sum CO2 cycle. I do not have enough background to judge whether such idea is realistic or not.
What I can say is that there is definitely enough oil for many more decades and it's not the lack of it what drives the development of alternatives.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
