Wow. I should have known!
The races will sound like a bunch of guys dueling with muffled woodshop routers. That's what I call entertainment.
No more fuel stops, fuel strategies, blown engines, grease filled tools, etc.
There's just not much visceral excitement about battery and electrical motor technology. It's missing so many key elements that drive motor sports today. Soon we can argue that we'd be better off remote racing these cars without endangering drivers, and after that we can just save the resources altogether and transition to virtual racing done exclusively online. Such fun.
I have to admit KERS technology is
really cool and electrical motors themselves have certain distinct technical advantages over internal combustion, but motorsports now must find the right balance of tradition and technology to keep fans involved in the sport.
