I consider Formula E a joke because of the having tool change car mid race nonsense, hopefully these boys will not be making the same mistake.

Touring car races are generally 20-30 mins - I'd expect these cars to manage that.
As an aside, as of next season car swapping in FE is no more - they will apparently now go a race distance (plus the new car looks great). I'll be giving it a look next season.

Which is presumably why they've given it nearly 700hp! It will be quick in a straight line at least, how well it will brake and go round corners is anyone's guess. Plus, as already mentioned, that much extra weight is likely to make crashes bigger and more expensive.
I'm not convinced by this at the moment, but keeping an open mind...
