The cross over to 50% battery electric vehicle sales likely at the end of 2027

Horse racing is why we have thoroughbred horse breeding

But does same apply to racing ICE cars in #motorsport?

A key benefit of motorsport racing to test reliability and performance limits on tech, and improve: why keep improving ICE tech on exit?

EV racing is still motorsport

There's a bigger crash coming

Motorsport won't be racing
internal combustion engine cars soon

When >50% global car sales are electric,
why would they keep ICE racing?

Battery electric vehicles 50%
global car sales by 2028
The future is electric

For #motorsport, too

“The city’s transition away from the car, tho fantastically chaotic, has become a global role model. Under mayor Anne Hidalgo, Paris was ‘the most influential city in the world’ says Canadian urbanist Brent Toderian. Hidalgo, stepping down after 12 yrs, exulted: ‘The bike beat the car.’” #Paris

A story of our time: Approval of biggest coal project in NSW planning commission’s history described as ‘infamous betrayal’. Independent Planning Commission says climate change impacts from Hunter Valley project will be ‘outweighed’ by economic benefits.

IPC Hunter Valley decision on day the RBA raised rates: higher interest rates used to destroy demand / weaken employment across Australia designed to protect 1,500 legacy coal jobs to 2045
A future economy doesn't need fossil jobs
Target ought be regenerating the future
