I’d say this is a put up or shut up deal. Go ahead, put an EV out there. If it can compete against ICE then fine. Don’t change standards or rules, have it compete and see what happens (hopefully not a massive uncontrollable fireball).
I don’t care to own an EV, it doesn’t make sense for my use case. But, a lot of R&D can happen on a competitive race track, and could help evolve the product. Or not.
No no no, they can’t do THAT. Everyone knows the EV car will be heavier, which means performance will be less as it’ll eat the tires up in no time, and the batteries/motors get hot and have to slow down or stop. Not to mention that the races will have to be shortened because of battery capacity. (Unless they swap cars like the early days of Formula E, or develop some sort of janky battery swap technology). For 0-60 runs electric cars are awesome. Longevity is the problem right now.
