commercially it will absolutely work. The typical GT3 buyer is not going flat out for 7 minutes neither are they doing any track work. Only a very small part would empty the cartridge so to speak. For the rest it's just a here and there type thrill to wow their buddy in the passenger seat. A sort of glimpse of what a record N-ring lap feels like.
But in the long-term, hybrids are here to stay in track-oriented sports cars. It's just the start before they go all electric.
