The key aspect of motorsport that could end up killing it

By:

As technology continues to rapidly evolve, motorsport needs to evaluate its place in the changing tech-led world - and there are some developments that it should be watching closely.

Drone battles, flying cars and autonomous vehicles; are these the future of motorsport?

Regular readers will know that I spend a lot of time thinking about the future of our sport and the industry around it. I've always cared passionately about motor racing and thrill to the primitive rumble of a 1970s V8-powered CanAm car.

But I'm also fascinated by where it's all heading and how motorsport interacts with the fast-evolving technology agenda.
