This is NOT about the hybrid rally1 cars but its is something interesting anyway.
"VW" just entered an electric SUV in a 1000km race in the Mexican Desert (NORRA Championship) and the car finished the event without any major problems! Im NOT a big fan of how FIA demands spec things like the batteries(!!) in Extreme-e and Formula-e because this is NOT how you develop new tech in motorsport.
Im WAY more into these things were manufacturers and racing teams enter in "open rules" classes to try something out. Im also curious about Audi's project for Dakar in '22.
Its nothing increeeedible considering they finished in last, basically... and they had to use a (still not entirely well described) portable biofuel generator for recharging.. But its always interesting to hear those stories.
Tanner Foust was the driver behind the wheel (rally winner in America / 3x US rallycross champion)
