Is there a Ring in Nürnberg (Nuremberg in English)? That must be fascinating like an indoor cart track, in Franconia there is no real landscape for a real race track (South Germany) lol.
The Nürburgring in the Eifel mountains (Northwest Germany) is the lukewarm GP track built on top of the Südschleife after Nikki Lauda's accident on the Nordschleife in 1975, and those special snowflake F1 drivers wouldn't drive on a real track any more lol. The Nordschleife those posh F1 pilots rejected in 1975, was inaugurated by a woman driving around some ministers in 1928 lol, and the track record of 1983 still stands, and hasn't been improved yet despite an envious Jacky Ickx (another royalty-rubbing posh snowflake) pretty much ran the record holder off the road and killed him.
All this talk about efficiency brings nothing. It's all bullcrap. Modern cars are bullcrap. The entire car industry has oligopolised 30 years ago, and hasn't evolved since then, has only focused on customer extortion and limitation of the essence of the car, freedom.
Rover actually experimented with gas turbine engines in the sixties in racing, the Rover BRM was a complete failure, notwithstanding the best engineers, the best technicians, and infinite funds. The only thing that remains of that car is the British Racing Green colour lol.
I actually took a Tesla out on the Nordschleife when Tesla did a promo day. It shut down and reverted into emergency slow mode before the end of the Döttinger Höhe because the batteries were overheating in the first acceleration, and it did that with most of the drivers that tried it that day. It's a useless piece of crap not worthy of the name "automobile". It's an electric wheelchair with entertainment extensions for an obscene price. They rented Renault Meganes and Toyota GT86's for everybody to not lose face because their stupid electric scheisshäufen wouldn't work on a real road with a real driving style.
Electricity has a very big problem, and that is that it is great in a situation of local production, but it's really hard to store. Battery technology still has at least 30-40 years to go before it is even fit for real use in vehicles. I will not pay for that. The automobile oligarchy expects to rip off my generation of people, who have worked hard to achieve something, by selling them crap for a lot of money, helped by the government they bought for the occasion. It's just not going to happen, they can finance their own R&D, they've stolen enough over the years. Germany is a drivers country. It might be OK for those impotent city slickers to confuse regulated public transportation with automotive freedom, but the population in the countryside will not stand for it. So they forbid old cars in cities, that's OK, we'll stay out of cities and buy somewhere else. Hamburg has already refused to follow the stupid madness of forbidding older cars in the city, because it kills economy for everyone, except for those automotive oligarchs, and Hamburg doesn't have car industry, so they couldn't care less about those oligarchs. If push comes to shove, I'll move to Hamburg if I have to. Thanks to internal combustion automobiles, I can drive to Davos or Milano in less time than it takes me to get there with an airline. With an electric car, I can't even get there lol, so what the fuck is an electric car good for? Do you really think I will go onto public transportation in my evening suit to go to the Opera in Milano after work? No, I will take my car and save myself all the hassle, and if I can't do that, I will make use of the new Opera and Symphony House in Hamburg, where I can drive.
There are so many freedom killing aspects of electromobility that it really isn't funny any more, and people should grab pitchforks and torches and stop that madness. I've worked too hard to let those dopebrain morons rob me of the freedom of being able to access culture and healthy social leasure and entertainment.
