Yes, when will the race concept build a series of tracks and will the series follow up with rental track time and machines along with hotels or resorts for vacations events and spectator walk arounds and exhibits and time on the track in off season….this is looking like a new race event that could be a lot of fun for the family. I hope not too pricey….but fun.
As an EV campaigner/activist since 1999(!)…it has to be pointed out that 99% of High Hype/High Hopes EV enterprises EVentually(sic) fizzle and fade into the “EV Abyss”. The most recent similar example was(is?) Mark Gemmell’s Tesla Model S-based race series originally called “Electric GT”. I’ve seen so many highly self-confident would-be EV gamechangers burst into the media spotlight over the past 20+ years – and almost every time I have contacted them with the exact same comments I’m expressing here. And my comments are almost always met with highly self-confident dismissal or outright condescension. Unfortunately 99% of the time I’ve been proven right.
But pigs might and could now literally fly – thanks to autonomous tech. But expect 3-4 years of investor-seeking high-hopes, hype and press release positivity..before the plug is EVentually quietly pulled. Deja Disparu all overall again, I fear.
