F1 - Imagine if they went electric?
 

Maybe some or even half the courses for a season.

Don't know if the quietness would leave a void.

Fast battery swaps in the pits unless they can speed charge.

The technology gains through intense competition and huge budgets could help accelerate the transition from ICE engine dependency.

There was a guy a few years ago who swindled a lot of teams say he had found a way to produce ultra small ultra lightweight High capacity cells. he got free hospitality etc till the cows came home until some asked 'when' suddenly he dissapeared!

It would be a great thing to have but it would have I saw some prelim concepts for the cars that would use the above 'wondercells' basically 3/4 of the side pod would be detached and replaced - fast clip gold connections so no plugs, very similar to what I'm planning for a endurance racing project at the mo.

it really would be a polaric shift and thats something F1/FOTA/FIA are normally all that good at.

It seems to be going that way slowly.

I mean, they've brought in the KERS system, and there is a rumour that from next year there will be no fuel fill ups allowed!

Next it will be proper hybrids, then electric.. by what do you think, 2020?

there ditchin KERS next year under a 'gentlemens agreement' still technically allowed but no-one wants to spend on developing it when their trying to cut costs(+ there is no advantage at the mo) shame they limited (6sex@ X KWs per lap) it otherwise it could have made one hell of a difference :(
