Electric vehicles (EVs) have been gaining popularity in recent years, and this trend will likely continue in motorsports. As more and more countries and cities set ambitious targets for reducing emissions and transitioning to electric power, we’ll probably see more and more electric race cars on the track. One of the most significant changes we’re likely to see is the phased-out of combustion engines in motorsports. Formula 1, NASCAR,…

There are more expensive cameras, but the inboard stabilization is pretty decent along with the zoom. We can also live with the color. If you…
