Do you know how much energy is required to get hydrogen into the correct state for usage in a vehicle? Hydrogen is suited to big stuff (some HGVs, ships, planes) but it will be niche option for cars. EV's of today are suitable for 95% of drivers with only a small adjustment needed to their approach to motoring.
Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyy, there doesn't seem to be any demand for EV racing outside of manufacturer backed formats, therefore I can see synthetic fuels being used for national motorsports including BTCC. What the BTCC needs is a long term strategy detailing when major rule set changes will occur (ideally at set intervals) which then allows teams to build their business cases to get more investments and sponsorships in place - which in turn could reduce the budget that a driver needs to bring along.
