Obviously F1 & WEC have been using them for years, and I must admit that I am surprised that I don’t think I have seen a full battery meltdown/failure, although I may be mistaken there despite some massive accidents. But as he says, the remoteness and possibility for fire spread in WRC makes the consequences of that happening, potentially far greater.
McErlean's sponsors already mentioned some time earlier this year, that he has already shown enough progress to keep his fundings.
