I hold to the future theory propounded by James May. The internal combustion engine will go the way of the horse - mostly driven off the road and kept for leisure purposes only. This will cement the importance of the race circuit or airfield venue in motoring - the only place for petrol heads to exercise their horse (power). I foresee a strong future for track days, race meetings and car meets at existing and maybe even new venues.

But how do you get your toy there?
And where do you get fuel?
(Both at an affordable cost for the mass market obviously. For the super rich it won't matter so much.)
And then there is the question - why would you care about ICE power when an electric toy is likely to be so much quicker?
And so much more acceptable to the locals in terms of noise ...
