It is interesting - and typische Brit - that on the listed page and the opening page for the Festival, nowhere does it tell you where Goodwood actually is. (East and a bit N of Portsmoputh)

My favorite this year is the factory converted V8 Aston Martin Cygnet. That thing is bonkers. Of course the new and original Mustang Bullitts were a treat as well.

Good morning Rob, Formula E has been around a couple of years.

Then there's drag racing - it will seem strange to go to a drag race and not experience this:

I think the electric cars will top the hillclimb TTs again today. I think we are only just a few years out from them dominating all
forms of racing unless they are outlawed.
my favorite so far is the AMC AMX Rally car but Rod Millens Pikes Peak car would be more fun to drive.

Electric motors make as much torque at 12 rpm as when they are turning
their max rpm.
The problem is the cord. Doesn't matter whether you plug it into a
hydro dam, or a nuclear power plant, or a gas fired or coal fired plant.
You can't fool the basic laws of physics. At some point, we will get enough
of these electric vehicles, that we will run out of resources to charge
their batteries cheaply, and recycle their junk batteries efficiently and
safely. It happened with the Baker electric. Read your history books.
Now, think about Interstate 5 southbound of the grapevine on a Monday
morning, with 10's of thousands of electric vehicles just creeping along.
Boggles the mind.
Yes, they have their place. But, we are going to have to scramble to
build a charging network for huge numbers of them.

Jim,
I suspect the somewhat counterbalancing phenomenon will be AI. With tiny
autonomous vehicles, automatically routed, there may be more carpooling and
fewer of those small, more efficient Uber/Lyft-types running up and down
the road. The freed up parking spaces can be used to locate charging
stations.
I doubt you and I will have to worry much about it anyway. :-)

Chuck,
I wasn't even aware of this series, goes to show you how much I pay attention to auto racing! I usually watch the Monaco GP, Indy
500, and the Bathurst 1000 (km) races.
Thanks for the link, I watched that video and several more and have come to the conclusion that eventually the world will be driving
electric vehicles. BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, and Audi are involved and those companies don't throw money away.

Jim,
As I noted in my response to Chuck I reckon eventually the world will be driving electric cars. I reckon there will be two basic
models one for commuting to/from work (electric only) and one for long distance driving (electric with an on board generator of some
kind); perhaps a solar panel in the roof?
I believe people with vision will see what is happening to the automobile and they'll invest in building resources to charge the
vehicles. How many gas stations existed in the early days of the automobile?
The Baker electric was a vehicle built between 1899 and 1914; I can't see why their demise relates to vehicles built over 100 years
later.
As far as 10's of thousands of electric cars creeping along 5 goes, at least they'll be green and not pollute or dump heat into the
atmosphere. Yes the way the electricity generated will do that, however, hopefully the world will eventually stop relying on fossil
fuels to do so. Also for the most part they'll be commuters so the vehicles can be charged at home or work. As I understand it some
companies in the Los Angeles area have charging stations where employees can recharge their vehicles on the company dime.
Recycling the batteries will have to be addressed; however, I'm confident that will be addressed by the battery manufacturers as I
would assume it would be cheaper to recycle the materials that make new ones. Aren't there government regulations on how batteries
are to be recycled?
I'd say that by the time vehicles are all powered by electricity they will also be autonomous and drive themselves, you program the
GPS where you want to go and hit GO! I believe this will reduce the numbers of accidents and cut down on traffic jams.
The bottom line:

No substitute for energy. If you take it out of a battery bank in the form
of heat and motion exchange, it has to come from somewhere. Millions of
electric cars will need 10s of billions of kilowatts. We still need to
create it. Whether we do it at a central source or not, and run the
distribution network of chargers to handy places to use it, it will take
enormous amounts of investments to achieve. It can be done, yes. Just like
walking on the moon. Don't see any Starbuck's signs up there, yet.
MORE LIKELY WE WILL SEE METROPOLITAN AREAS AS CAR FREE ZONES SERVED
ONLY BY PUBLIC PEOPLE MOVERS, JAMMED FULL OF COMMUTERS. Glad I won't be
around to see it.
I hate population density, and all the problems it brings.

Rob, at 1:30 is live qualifying for race 2 at Brooklyn and the live race is at 2:30. Already penalties are being assessed for exceeding max kw allowed by 5 kw. I wonder if officials use a Fluke or a Simpson?

I believe that if the human race does not obliterate itself with it ultimately the main power source for the world will be nuclear
energy.
I grew up in Hoboken and live about a mile and a half from Sydney's CBD and it's quite a pleasant place to live. Population density
isn't a problem for me.

No substitute for energy. If you take it out of a battery bank in the form
of heat and motion exchange, it has to come from somewhere. Millions of
electric cars will need 10s of billions of kilowatts. We still need to
create it. Whether we do it at a central source or not, and run the
distribution network of chargers to handy places to use it, it will take
enormous amounts of investments to achieve. It can be done, yes. Just like
walking on the moon. Don't see any Starbuck's signs up there, yet.
MORE LIKELY WE WILL SEE METROPOLITAN AREAS AS CAR FREE ZONES SERVED
ONLY BY PUBLIC PEOPLE MOVERS, JAMMED FULL OF COMMUTERS. Glad I won't be
around to see it.
I hate population density, and all the problems it brings.

Says he who lived in Hong Kong. (Grin)
My formative years were spent in a tiny logging town in Washington
State. Most maps don't even show it. Tall timber right down to the
outskirts of town. 200 souls or so. Less than that today. Much of the
timber is gone, all the sawmill jobs are gone. Tourism is all that keeps it
alive today. That is just how the locals prefer it. Not an apartment
complex within 25 miles in any direction. Two parent households prevail,
mixed with retirees still living in single family dwellings. Mailboxes at
the local grocery/feed/ hardware store. Local news is shared over coffee
and rolls in the local mom and pop cafe.
What's not to love?

love to drive any of those Lancias and I forgot about Niki Laudas Ferrais, those looked like they might be the most fun to drive.
that robocar was interesting. as far as the electric cars for everyday use and battery stations for them, forget all that and just use what Nicola Tesla designed a century ago, a wireless power source for electric vehicles (some were also RC)

Although there's a LOT of lithium around if it can be recovered.
