Gow has already said the new regs won’t be EV, and hybrid may be adjusted either way.
I think it’s quite telling that F1 is making noises about going back to pure thermal engines using synthetic fuel. I actually believe that’s what a lot of motorsport will aim to use. |

I think you have a point there. Seems EVs aren’t flavour of the month anymore and rightly so. There are other alternatives out there |

Synthetic fuels are going to do little to clean up the air quality in urban areas, because they still need something to burn.

Synthetic fuels are definitely getting more popular though

In the majority of urban areas - well, the kind where I live and work - there'll be lots of pollution for years to come from fossil fuels. These are the areas that give us the average UK age of a car as 8.4 years old (before the scrappage scheme it was around13/14) - and with the poverty levels in many of those places affected most by pollution, a switch to electric or synthetic fuels is a long way off. I expect that the unwillingness of local councils to go big time for EV infrastructure will delay the changeover even further. A lot of the places I work a 'new car' is an 02 plate Corsa or an 03 plate Passat Diesel estate.....
And before anybody says what's this got to do with BTCC 2024 rumours? I apologise, it's probably more relevant to BTCC 2034, or at the rate our Govt and Councils do things, BTCC 2044 News & Rumours! |

if the politicians wouldn't push it nobody would bother with EV you can see how successful Formula E was, nearly nobody talks about it now |

As I've mentioned elsewhere a couple of times - this type of forum just isn't the sort of place that the vast majority of the new generation of motorsport fans come to, they're on Reddit & Discord amongst others. |

^ I give you a fact
friend from Germany told me Formula E used to air on ProSieben , one of the biggest private free TV channels in Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProSieben guess what, due too very poor audience it was dropped at end of 2023 and now they air DTM instead and seems no other german channel picked Formula E to air Last edited by porsche962fan; Yesterday at 13:09. |

I keeping with the current theme of this thread of things not really BTCC 2024 related, here is some legal news - https://caseboard.io/cases/5e1647c4-...4-f49499c7d074

It's struggled to find a consistent home , it's now on TNT Sports behind a paywall so I doubt the viewing figures are overly great. |

And in Germany Formula E is now shown on Eurosport (which has the same parent company as TNT). |

Yeah I quite enjoyed the racing but I just don't want to pay another subscription just to watch it , that's where the BTCC deal is so good and I hope it stays that way long term. |

I believe that the last two were from Companies House because of late filing. However, this time the petition has been made by Close Brothers, and I am assuming that it probably concerns a leasing arrangement on something, possibly a road vehicle because most of the liens in their accounts are based on Hard's racing assets which are being sold to meet the charges on them. |
