On the off chance that one of the best rivals in a standout amongst the most conventional types of motorsport can grasp electric autos, the general group of onlookers and open may not be a long ways behind.
Fans may not miss the thunder of blown, nitroglycerine fueled V-8s. "The fascinating thing is, it makes clamor," Tasca said. "It makes an extremely cool sound. It's extraordinary, clearly, to a nitro entertaining auto. You won't require earplugs, however it's an entirely cool sound."
