An electric car series is actually being launched now.

I'm not convinced by some of the ideas in that article - like swapping cars at pit-stop time etc! That just seems ridiculous to me. If they want the series to push technology and have relevance to road cars then make them recharge - it would encourage some investment in fast charging or better battery technology.
Racing around city centres would be fun to see. Racing without the noise and just a high pitched whine instead would be odd, but I guess you'd get used to it provided the actual racing was good. If it was processional then nothing would save it.
 
Will be pants without noise....

Fitting audio to supply the noise would make the cars slower :poke: .... pointless

Can see the benefit for road car technology though
 
I quite like the noise of motor racing... watching silent cars?? Who thought of that idea :thumbsdown:
