Not EV’s but instead I say TCR. It’s global and you can go up against Europe, Korea, and China. TCR (2L turbo 4) is a global formula, similar to GT3 and GT4.

Compact EV’s would be too heavy. A TCR is required to be 2,789 pounds (1265 kg). NASCAR wants Ford and GM to be in Pilot Challenge TCR. Dealers want it. The revenue would be huge if you sell a few TCR body-in-white chassis and then you can take the profits and back the “loss leader” base versions they could sell. Make the big money on TCR and trackday cars, and they subsidise the base models for younger generations.

TCRs are challenging in race trim and nearly analogous to cars actual people could buy (e.g. Honda Civic R TCR has paddles; civ version besides of course comforts and street stuff has ye olde manual. Don’t mind manual per se but it’s demonstrably slower and the Honda is already styled futuristic rather than traditional).
