We've watched the MotoE bike racing, both on telly, and live.
It is odd, the kneesliders being the loudest sounds.
The racing is often superb, close and often somewhat high contact for a quarter of a ton of bike, and eventually we realised WHY the noise matters.
It isn't for the atmosphere, or the effect, but it informs the viewer of what the rider/driver is doing, when they are on the gas, when they are on the brakes, how hard they are pushing.
One of the most noticable things trackside has been how people like Stoner and Marquez get on the gas so much earlier than other riders, how Rossi used to overlap brake and throttle to steer the rear, how Senna used to stab the throttle searching for traction, how rally cars used power to steer, and how much they used.
That feedback is missing with electric.
