Electric engines are the future. Better than internal combustion in every aspect. It's good to see internationally famous event allowing so many prototypes.
Not sure if I believe that electric is the future.
80% of cars in New York 100 years ago ran electric and one of the reasons why the didnītīmake it in the long run, was the amount of tragic and fatal accidents because of lack of audible sound (Loud pipes do safe lives!).
Today we still have the problem of properly storing the power and the amount required for a race distance longer than Pikes Peak.
But weīll see...

This is the 208 GTi for Nurburgring. If we add the Red Bull colours, maybe we'll get a better idea of its livery.
