Default Porsche leaving Prototype Class of Le Mans (WEC) to join Formula E!

Hrm... I guess Porsche got tired of winning at Le Mans because they are withdrawing their prototype class cars from WEC to join Formula E! Mercedes also is joining Formula E at the expense of their DTM program... and Jaguar is joining Formula E as well.

Instead of ear plugs it'll be hearing aids it's so quiet.
Imagine whispering at a race instead of yelling and an ozone type smell vs fossil fuel exhaust.
A hundred years of auto racing is on the verge of change.

LMP 2 and 3 cars are still very fast but perhaps a class of these might fill the technological void....

The only difference between Formula-E and watching paint dry... the paint doesn't change walls when it's half dry.
