Agreed. I'm hoping to see that in the Le Mans series as manufacturers bring electric vehicles into the mix. Such as Nissan's entry next year: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/06/22/nissan_electric_le_m...

They want to compete with petrol cars not only on the track, but also in the pits.

Le Mans is really just one big automotive experiment, with a lot of the technology trickling down to the rest of us. That's why I love it.
