As far as tracks are concerned, I don't see what the big deal is in regards to the fire risk. I would think they could have a rule that Tesla's can't be parked too close to other vehicles or structures, and if it catches fire it may be allowed to burn. Just have the owner sign a waiver about EV fires, and if the car burns a hole in the track, car owner is responsible for the repair.

Kind a agree... But as a track rat i don't want my track day canceled because of a lithium fire. You literally cannot put them out with normal amounts of water and a fire truck with XX glas of water on a back turn is just not going to come close.

They burn for a long time too and then would have to be removed and then clean up. So if a EV catches fire at a track I "think" people are finding out that it basically closes the track down for that day

I'd expect to see graphene-based batteries become the standard for EV track use.
