Does Motortrend on Demand post VODs of the live sessions they stream? Thought I'd put qualifying or a practice session on in the background but have had no luck.

I'm on the website right now (not the app) and can't find anything for 2020 Le Mans other than their "Dempsey Races Le Mans" series.

Problem is that electric cars just aren't very good for 45+ minute circuit races at this point. An electric hill climbing or drag racing series would be a lot better in that regard, but I guess that would limit the size of the potential audience.

With the power of the Gen 3 cars they should be pushing past 180mph easily. However, FE cars are "slow" because of the (deliberately) lovely tires and chicane-laden circuits needed for more regen points. Hopefully the capability of the newer cars can start opening up circuit design.

What's the power drain at 180 mph like, though? That's much of the reason for all those chicanes and tight corners.

The battery tech to run at anything like GP speeds for the 45 minutes they want is not there and won't be anytime soon.
