It's awfull. I'm all for electric road cars to save fuel for motorsports.
Jay Leno once said it on top gear. The electric engine is to the internal combustion engine what the latter was to the horse. Horses were replaced in all the practical uses but they are still around for the things people enjoy about them. The same way petrol fuelled cars will stick around for people to have fun in. Though it will be an expensive hobby. To what degree competitive motorsport can be done with petrol cars is questionable as well, since the car makers will have moved on and won't invest money.
That’s a scary future...it's like returning to silent films. Hopefully it’ll take a while. Current WRC’s probably won’t change in the next years. Maybe they’ll get a basic hybrid system to use at liaisons, but the cost to introduce high tech hybrid or full electric seems too high for now.
Meanwhile, time to enjoy some fine rally tunes, like this one: https://www.facebook.com/rallyemag/v...5462875229973/
