Don't you think the electric revolution has the opportunity to lower costs eventually? The tech will become more affordable. Maybe even a sealed engine and spec batteries? Less wear parts, less time rebuilding engines, etc. Teams can focus on suspension settings and the power curve will be adjusted with a laptop. Just a thought...
You're not wrong, but again battery tech will get more affordable, energy storage with rapid charging will also get more affordable/capable so teams could either have energy storage at the track or extra batteries... Electric has two advantages in addition to potential environmental benefits: instant torque and little noise. While I agree the noise is strange, there is no denying noise is a major issue for tracks across the country.
