Hybrid, I guess, must remain, perhaps in a slightly different form but if BTCC doesn't want to fall into obscurity it needs to follow the global trends. I don't think they'll go for electric just yet although who knows actually.
Honestly, really curious about what cars they might go for. Saloons are almost non-existent and even hatches seem to slowly die - Focus being a great example. So either they go for crossovers/SUVs in the longer term, which seems rather unpalatable for racing or for some more obvious 'sporty' cars but I doubt BTCC is suited for the likes of Toyota Supra, Ford Mustang or BMW 4.

I think there will always be a call for four door saloons/ hatchbacks. What with the government putting back the discontinuation of petrol/diesel production engines, and with Mercedes reintroducing the V8 in some models, the BTCC will still be around for a few years yet, without the introduction of EV's. That's my opinion.
