Sounds like slot cars. Kinda sad really, even if it is technologically interesting.

 

See the YouTube videos on the electric Pikes Peak car.

Some of the feeling is gone, but if you turn of the sound of your PC its "looks better".

 

Technologically interesting? Yes, that is the best answer.

yeah, that's it. Absolutely impressive engineering. But lots of the emotion in motorsports is transported by the sounds. Maybe in a few years we're able to identify cars by the sound of their electric motors. Today to me there's nothing like the deep thunder of a V8 or the buzzing of a Japanese biturbo revving to the limits, blowing flames.

 

But then there's differences. In Drag-racing for example, or time attack races where a single car is on the road, the sound matters much more to me. With lots of cars on the track there's more potential for action, which is not entirely dependent on the sounds. I do for example enjoy a formula E race more than a F1. But that might just be me.

I'm not a big fan of F1 or FE but Rallying and Rallycross yes,what's worrying is if electric lookalike Top Fuelers can happen,what's next?...
