15: NHRA Drag Racing
Drag racing is another section of the automotive world that’s going to be negatively affected by the rise of electric cars. The NHRA drag racers are generally powered by fossil fuels and thus removing this could kill the sport altogether. Could you imagine electric drag racing? It would feel like watching lifesized R/C cars taking to the streets.
Motorsports are no doubt going to be negatively affected by the rise of electric cars. Fans aren’t going to get behind something that has little personality or feeling. If the automakers switch from classics right now there will be an onslaught of motorsports that are negatively affected by the move toward electric cars.
