They can use electric cars as long as they don't sound like the one in the video. You can't beat standing at the end of Hangar Straight at Silverstone and hearing the roar of an F1 car going past. Its part of the experience and if they used electric cars they would have to recreate this to be taken seriously IMO.

Personally I get used to it, sort off.

I was at Silverstone last week for WEC 6 hours.

The V8 Toyota Hybrid was aurally in league of its own compared to diesel Audis but you just have to appreciate the cars for what it is, the technology applied to compete to win and for that reason sound recreation is a complete joke.

As long as a race car is driven on the limits and physically noticeable that is a more concern to me than what it should sound like. I had more joy seeing the likes of Wurz and Nakajima wrestling their Toyota hybrid through high speed corners than the sound it made.
