We've seen them in the Isle of Man. Does that mean they will filter down to the MRA in our lifetime?

It seems like the environmentally-correct thing to do but I can't help think it would take out a lot of the excitement. I can't picture spectators watching an almost-silent bike race. The pits would be pretty quiet too. (We'd use solar-powered tire warmers. Or maybe tires by then won't need temperature at all.)

There is the argument that eventually we will run out of the petroleum feedstocks needed to make gasoline. This is true on the huge scale needed for the general public. But I think for niche markets like racing fuels, there will always be a way to make them.

The torque curve of an electric motor would be an interesting thing to experience, tho.

What do think?
