It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the planet is dying. Climate change is real. Whether you believe it’s man made or not, you have to accept there’s certain things that just don’t need to be done, one of those things is petrol based motorsport. How is it that we keep allowing these polluting races to take place, especially when we have carbon neutral alternatives available. I don’t understand why Formula 1 is still a thing when we have Formula E.

    I always felt like as we transitioned away from fossil fuels, and also moved towards self driving cars, motosports would grow in popularity not shrink.

      The way things are set up with lobbying, the automotive industry keeps pushing cars. We’ll eventually have a wake up moment and will have amazing public transport everywhere. When that happens and the necessity for cars dwindles, we’ll start seeing a growth in motorsport as it becomes everyone’s only fix.

      We don’t need self driving cars, we need more and more affordable and fast public transport
