Not like Aston to miss the boat.......

Another 4 years and they'll be mass building cars to run on hydrogen.

Unless technology develops significantly, a track biased electric car is useless. You will get 15 minutes fun and then have to go home as you will not get it recharged in time for more track action.

Well despite many challenges they've come far since I visited the factory in the Victor Gauntlett days - it was then basically a set of sheds where craftsmen were hammering aluminium, stitching leather hides and assembling mighty V8's into big throaty sports cars...

Technology has already developed significantly. On my track days there’s always an electric in the group, and they hang with us petrol burners for several hours. There’s a “Supercharger” station nearby so they can rapidly recharge and get back in the fight.
Watch closely as more and more races either get taken over by electrics or are forced to create an electric class of race.
Not that I like it, it’s just the trajectory we are on at present.
