We know we have to get away from fossil fuels but why has everything to be battery powered? I was born and raised in one country with one of the top 4 reserves of lithium in our planet, and I surely dont want to see all of that land turn into huge holes.
Why arent more sports investing in other alternatives such as algae biofuel, something which Mazda is currently developing. Or even hydrogen combustion?
Petrol and diesel are things of the past, however the passion and excitment we all feel from cars looks and sounds are far from dead. We can move motorsport into a much cleaner and future proof formula without killing the excitement.
Is Formula E sucessfull?! What do you mean sucessfull?! I have been to two Formula E races and the stands are never full (even if they are much smaller than normal). They are promoting FE by spending thousands to have movie celebs and twitter warriors promoting the races but that hasn't been doing good for them in a while.Last edited by Francis44; 8th February 2018 at 14:24.

GRC have announced that the season finale will be at Lydden this year (last weekend of October). The 70 foot jump (which I assume is bigger than the normal Lydden one) sounds like a gimmick...but surely it can't be worse that Speedmachine?! And it's only £55 for weekend ticket with camping, which is considerably cheaper.

Will see how the GRC entry is shaping up. Could be tempted. Might be a bit chilly in the tent at the end of October though.

Wishful thinking on the bio-fuel. Seems the decision has been made to go electric by the car makers and motorsport will go the same way to 'promote' it. Originally Posted by Francis44

Well I joked about it and hoped it might happen, but very surprised to actually see it confirmed! Originally Posted by MrJan

I wonder if it might be on the straight between the exit of Chessons and the turn in for the Elbow (that would be well placed right in front of the crowd line) but that might be a bit tight in terms of space for a bail out route. Perhaps leading off the chicane and onto the infield?
The ticket price is perhaps a bit steep, but if they can attract some decent UK/European entrants I think that will justify the entry cost. If they are going to market it as a UK/Europe Vs. USA race, then the presence of some of the European Championship regulars is vital.
I will be booking a hotel for the Saturday night this evening!"If in doubt... flat out!"

Or you can just watch the supercar class of World RX, which IMG have said will continue alongside the electric class. Originally Posted by Fast Eddie WRC

It's on par with what World RX was, which I thought was amazing value. Given that a forest pass on Rally GB is £30 and you only get to see 2 stages, I'd say it's pretty good, although I'll wait to see what the entry is like before bothering. The advantage of Lydden before was that it was on bank holiday, so getting back to Devon late wasn't an issue because I didn't need to be at work in the morning. Originally Posted by tbtstt

Supercars were much more popular and competition higher without manufactures millions and modified top cars from other series.
