    Cometoyou have bought 2 cars, if they will run 2, or run 1 with one spare I didn't quite understand from the press release.
    Who bought the 3 car?
    And where do you find the information about cometoyou ?

    Benoît Tréluyer and Enzo Ide rumoured to be the drivers.

    Looking at the emissions of the traditional cars versus the electric cars is rather missing the main selling point in terms of the Championship. Electric rallycross potentially offers a platform for manufacturers to directly relate future electric/hybrid showroom models to motorsport. Even if the motorsport fan knows the connection between the two is tenuous, its a link that no other motorsport is able to offer at the moment.

    As for electric WRC, I can think of several factors that mean we're a long way off from that at present. Events would have to be radically restructured to accommodate electric in the WRC.

    Looks quick, sounds crap but not nearly as bad as I expected. I find it difficult to get beyond the fact that electric motors offer instantaneous torque, that's so suited to rallycross.
    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    Actually, I was surprised..(I didn't mind with that)

    The title should be "WRX to having electric class as the top class."

    9 Manufacturers want in so I guess that's the way to get there....
    Only you know your true potential.

    interesting article, potential for World (or at least some form of international) Supercar Championship as well? A minimum 15 car entry is a decent basis for the switch to electric.

    I wonder what the 'tuning' situation would be for electric engines... how would they differ from each other and how would they be controlled by the authorities ?

    I think this will largely be limited by the single-source batteries, other than that it's all a bit beyond me what an electric motor involves. I guess that it's about reducing energy loss rather than increasing the 'bang'.

    It looks that the electric supercars will be more like RX2 (Lites) and the ELITE Andros Trophy cars...
    http://speedhunters-wp-production.s3...7-1200x800.jpg

    A spec rollcage/tubes then the manufacturers bring their "bubbles'' to make the car's desing (And it looks they can add more aerodynamics, like in WRC and GT cars). I dont see anywhere they saying they will continue with the current "production based" cars with the roll cage inside

    right?
