And I'm not against saving the planet (duh), but IMO motorsports is a decadence... it's such a minor front on which to fight the battle... if the major polluters: road vehicles, power generation, industrial manufacturing, etc. were clean(er), motorsports wouldn't have any measurable impact on the environment. Let us have smoke belching, fire-breathing, tire melting race cars! They're fun! Clean up the roads, the power plants, etc.
I'd gladly drive an electric car, or take the subway, if I can still burn a few gallons of petrol at the race track on the weekend.
