There is some racing that lends itself to electric like stage rally, rally cross and the drag strip. I'd love to drive an electric rally cross car, especially since it's one of the most accessible forms of racing out there.
Circuit racing (in particular endurance racing) is a long way from electrics being competitive (though LMP1 cars certainly use a hybrid powertrain to boost speeds). Le Mans cars currently cover over 5000 km in 24 hours. When Porsche stretched the Taycan to the limit they managed 3300 km in 24 hours. That's roughly a 1950s Le Mans pace (and that as when the track had fewer turns and longer straights).
