If I was one of the honchos in FE board I'd feel betrayed for being filler or worse, balancing factor against some good content lol. Mercedes is going to be fielding a Formula E team in Season 6. The tie-in makes sense, especially if the EU is going all Electric by 2035. Racing series have always been a way for Manufacturers to demonstrate reliability and performance. A lot of the other manufacturers have a head start on electric technology.

And games are a way to target niche audiences. The car gamer's are going to end up being the opinion leaders on cars in the future, especially as games become more realistic and cars become more autonomous. The only driving we may ever do is on a sim or if we have the extra money, on the track, in the not to distant future.
