In parallel with the world of passenger transport, motorsport is turning to electrification in many ways, either by hybridisation or by introducing new race series that are fully electric.
It is fair to say though that there has been a mixed level of acceptance from fans and manufacturers. Hybridisation partially satisfies the manufacturers whose vehicle ranges include powertrains that are propelled partly by an IC engine and partly by an electric motor. It is not especially limited by considerations of power or race duration, and maintains the spectacle of racing.
