Rallying is already a small sport for the enthusiast, so switching to electric in the near future would be a dangerous game.
I used to watch F1 avidly, but that has become boring and whenever I've watched the highlights at night I've fallen asleep. But that is the only Motorsport mainstream news is interested in.
Formula E is hardly setting the world alight with interest, even if they are trying to go down the younger audience route with YouTube live streaming etc.
I thought they were planning a touring car like championship with Tesla's and jaguar e-paces and the like but don't think anything has come of that yet.
That may be an interesting series, if they don't use Mickey mouse tracks like the formula E ones, but my guess is they will be support series for formula E races so that's unlikely.
