Grant I think actually the opposite will happen - ICE motorsport in its widest sense will grow as EV make their mark. It will be the only place one can drive fast and free from speed regulation. The lack of effort from the powers-that-be stems more from their inertia and lack of understanding of real world problems than any "it'll all be dead soon" thoughts.
To my mind the MSA hasn't progressed from the 1920s, but that's another discussion!

Max,
Much easier for the authorities to eliminate the fuel supply thus making the sport more difficult for ordinary mortals to be involved.
Historic racing might thrive, but I would suggest it will be much easier and cheaper out side the UK and possibly Europe for those who have enough money to travel and drive.
Circuits, Silverstone for example, are likely to go the way of the Lausitzring to be used by manufacturers of electric vehicles as test centres.
Obviously that is entirely speculation - but it's either that or they are converted to Mars colony support establishments as Space-X rocket systems training sites.
Thinking about it Silverstone is probably well suited to such a role in a number of ways!
We live in strange times.
