I don't think the gte program is on the chopping block nor the hypercar either. I bet someone buys a couple and races in the new season. R-motorsport perhaps.
No, haven't you heard. Petrol cars will be banned and electric cars cost nothing to build. Oh wait, Tesla only makes money by buying credits from other companies to balance their EPA books. Otherwise a few estimates have said double the costs, if not more. But I believe for 10 years I've heard no one will build new petrol engines, no one will build new trucks, no one will build large vehicles. Oh wait, Ford will no longer make cars, multiple new petrol engines have been released in the last 2 years and cars only get bigger.

Yes, there will be electric options but to say petrol is gone? Foolhardy at best and delusional at worst.
