I would expect fuel costs to rise both from inflation as well as the moving goal post of sulphur content requiring more costly refining.

I wonder how their decision will affect any of their support to racing. LIke corvettes and all the other venues.

I would expect a Electric Racing initiative to evolve if in fact they want to continue to sponsor racing.

The less demand there is for diesel / gas the more costs will be controlled. I seriously doubt they will completely get to 100% electric but even if it is a significant part of the market, it means the world’s fuel supply will be extended and cost increases more controlled.

I think theyll slip on that promise
