I do not know who's that Jake Willets is but I won't be surprised if he had supported some very "eco-friendly" series like late iPace trophy or how that comedy was called. Every championship that tries to take that so called "eco-friendly" on board suffers greatly from that. F1 dropping HERS, KERS is rather limited in LMP1, and it is an absolutely useless ballast for GT. And FE crashfest is a huge-huge marketing toy, not an engineering class at all as they promote it. So, all that electric powertrains and other "eco-friendly" stuff is good for advertising only, not for real life.
Besides, will Audi try to erase from the history all their diesel victories, huh? 10 years ago the same people (Marketing Departments and "journalists") who now acting as Electricity missioners were hailing what appeared to be a "not so clean" engine. Is there a risk for history to repeat itself once again?
