How’s that argument working out for horse racing…?
Great.
People still ride horses. Horses havent been legislated against.
The combustion engine has been.
I’m not saying f1…booooooo.
I’m saying, it will all be electric before X date.
In the UK.
Anyone who thinks the internal combustion engine has an accepted future beyond 2050 is insane.
And to be clear…
2050… is only 28 years away.
Your spot on, the big manufacturers won’t stay in a sport for now reason and R&D is a big reason.
Does anyone know when the next season of drive to survive will be on… Gonna be juicy

Swinging back to the topic, funnily enough Formula E use generators to charge the cars however they are modified to run on glycerine rather than diesel.
Your telling me there’s generators running on vape oil?
- But what makes these generators special is that they run on a fuel that is virtually emission free – glycerine.*
