If Tesla is planning on racing in the N24, how many cars would they require complete the race?  A conservative estimate would be four per driver: one on track and the other three at various levels of charging waiting for the driver swap.  

And what good and valuable conclusions do you think will come out of this post?

Wasn’t this the approach taken in Formula E until this year?   An EV May be capable of setting lap times comparable with an ICE race car; however, current battery technology limits the range at speed while ICEs still afford quicker refueling.  Even the largest battery packs available have an energy content of several liters of petrol.  However, there remains for the foreseeable future limits on battery pack size, measured in kWh, and charging capabilities.  Nothing can overcome those limitations, even with 800V systems.  

Yep, I agree with that and racing/motorsport is not an area where EVs will be that appealing and stand no chance against ICE on the same terms and N24 is a race where EVs are toast due to the obvious limitations with charging in a scenario like this.

My question was more about what this adds to the discussion other than stating the obvious. I just didn't get the idea with such a post when considering the last couple of pages in this thread.

See Boxster Coupe GTS’ post roughly nine posts above where he makes the first mention of Tesla and the N24 race.  I had responded to that posting to highlight a significant disadvantage, based on present levels of technologies, EVs have with endurance racing. 

At one time, the adage was “Racing improves the breed.”  Today, with a few here, any statement that differs from their set beliefs, regardless of fact or opinion, become points of warmongering.
