This Tajima's practice run in the middle section Pikes Peak 2012.
Is motorsport in the future going to sound more like this than throbbing v8s of old !

I like that.

But I read somewhere that oil is a result of abiotic processes. That means oil is made not from organic matter such as plankton, dinosaurs, and trees but from what the earth planet is made from. If that's true and oil is produced as result of the processes going on within the earth then oil wont run out, and electric cars are just as bigger have as the myth that the oil is running out.

Yeah the trouble is you read that on Ken Ring's website.

Yep it was him on Stuff or somewhere, but he was apparently quoting Russian scientists. Anyway I like the idea of it for sure.

sounds like my washing machine hitting spin cycle and the missus blow drying her hair.

What is missing is what makes any car a blast to drive, character and atmosphere. My washing machine has more character that that thing.

Think group B, it was a bunch of crazies with ancient suspension and 600+hp, why! because up yours, that's why. I've seen electric vehicles I've liked, this isn't one of them. Actually one I liked was inside an old lada body, I have no idea why but it was fast and pretty cool looking.

I wonder if the cars speed peaks as the noise does!

There is always biofuel from corn if you want this sound .
