Italy wanted an exception to the EU regulation banning ICE sales after 2035 for their supercar industry (Ferrari etc) but only managed a 12 month extension to 2036. After that only manufacturers making less than 1000 vehicles a year can continue to make ICE cars.

That's probably the size of the market I am thinking will remain. I would love to see a thriving motorsport industry catering to track sports and hill climbs, and then we can happily get rid of ICE cars from our cities.

If all I can do with my petrol car is drive it to the track and for special events, I think I would be content enough. I don't need the thrill of the sights and sounds of racing on my commutes, and I believe motorsport is the only exception that isn't trivial.
