Drag races are EV-car nirvana.

Ah, no wonder I never heard of it, we don't get MG in the USA any more.

But seriously, shouldn't the Audi win purely on looks? I mean, that's one sexy looking car, and the MG4 is just ugly.

I know the EV fans will disagree with me but all the launch control tech etc really makes it so these "races" don't require any skill, there are no garage mechanics hot rodding these things. It's just go to your dealer pay your money and then engage the launch control. No skill with a wrench or driving. Were are the bragging rights when some git sitting at a computer did all the heavy lifting? I just don't get it.

Nothing says conserve energy and save the planet quite like a EV drag race.

Kind of like being the skinny kid at fat camp.

Theres still a lot that goes into making fast times, tire temp, pressure, size, weight transfer, etc. but yeah, EVs murder other straight-line cars.
