As long as petrol or diesel engines don't disappear, I won't hate electric or hybrids. They are cars (almost) and are fun to play with every now and then.
Finally I can put something against the Mitsubishi i-Mev. If I ever get to update GT5 and get the dlc, that is.
A quick thing PD could very easily implement is selectable fuel load and restrictions for the amount of fuel allowed. In this way "economy run" races could be possible.
100 liters of fuel (by the way, PD should also fix this. Cars don't have all the same fuel tanks) take too much time (by sprint race standards) to consume on any car.
There's your answer oopsorry, as this guy pretty much represents the majority. I refuse to guess a timeline, but eventually we won't have the sound of a V8 firing up in our driveway, much less a track. I imagine it will happen sooner than we think.
When I was younger I put loud exhaust on everything I owned. Bikes, cars, trucks, he'll even my riding lawn mower had a modified two brothers on it. As I've gotten older, I now appreciate the technology involved to get a vehicle whisper quiet. Advances in oil, exhaust and sound deadening give us very
quiet cabs to ride in.
I cringe now when I hear a Honda scream by sounding like a weedwacker. The wife and I just look at each other laughing. We still love our V8's, the 540i and Corvette in the garage will be around as long as I can afford oil, but their days are numbered.
I think the Leaf is excellent technology, and hope millions buy it to save some oil for those of us that need it to keep our 8's Rolling.
Just saying
👍
