    Maybe it's my own hearing sensitivity (I have to block my ears when I'm close to rally cars, even ambulance sirens), but I think that in time today's complaints will look like the people who didn't believe in wearing helmets in American football, or drivers' aids, or any other new feature that detracts from the "purity" of any motorsport.

    And electric power gives you the opportunity for a 350-380hp world rally car to have maximum torque at any time, which (with the right regulations) can make for extremely exciting driving, especially on gravel/snow/ice/mud. As several people on this forum have pointed out, loads of torque and less grip = more sideways (of course sacrificing cornering speed). Not everyone may want that style of rally, but not everyone wants ever cleaner tarmac-like performance on every surface either. In the end I think there is enough give and take that it will still be a fun sport to watch and participate in if this shift were to happen in the future.
    Have You ever seen an electric race or rallycross car live? It's fast but it's boring as hell. I'd rather stay home than to watch and listen this again. And honestly nearly everyone around me felt and expressed the same...

    Listening yes, but watching isn't too bad:

    The sound won't be a problem at all.

    With just another button on the steering wheel for the sound settings the driver will be able to change even the roar for every Special Stage acording to his/her mood.

    It's coming...

    I suggest we start cooking petrol in the next years so NOT these "batteries" endanger our sport.

    I strongly start to believe that the mental asylums of the world use these forums as a way for their imprisoned retards to express themselves....
