When the ICE vehicle replaced the horse as the main means of transport the gee gee's were saved by becoming almost solely a sporting vehicle.
When sail power on water was replaced by steam & diesel the sport of sailing retained and developed the skills.
Perhaps we have to develop ways of popularising ICE based motor sport as a spectator/betting/recreational activity or sport/hobby to give it a future?
Meanwhile racing EVs will develop due to the inherent desire of anyone who has any sort of vehicle wanting to prove that their vehicle is faster than the next bloke.
Just stand and watch people departing your nearest set of traffic lights!
