@strypey Or, possibly, motorsport would do what it has done for more or less the last century: pioneer a brand new technology and have it in production cars 5 years later. Maybe we *can* have solid-state batteries after all.

@Salty @strypey EV race cars exist, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motorsport . I guess one day all races will be with EVs anyway, but we are not there yet. See especially "Future prospects" in the wikipedia article.

@strypey It wouldn't have any effect on the climate, either. Motorsport is a tiny fraction of fuel consumption.

Climate people seem to want to ban fun, which is one reason the public is turning against the climate movement.

Fix the easy stuff first.

Seriously, banning motorsport would not be about climate. It would be about "we're going to force you to think about climate, even if you don't want to."

But like ER disrupting plays, that just makes people hate you.
