Yes!
If she was invited to various rock concerts she could well bring the house down, but may well show up her aging stage compatriots as rather average instrumentalists.
I think her audition for "The Voice" could well founder though.

Electric F1???
.

I watch a few laps of he electric F1 a few weeks ago.  "Great way to help you sleep"  F1 is boring enough, chuck in an electric motor, looks like a funeral procession

Silent drag racing?
Electric F1???

It's a paradigm. If people have got used to motor racing being noisy then that's what they expect. That paradigm will be dispelled when we see 500+HP electric racing cars.
"Enjoyment" of loud noise is like listening to your music at 100dB. You choose to listen to it and enjoy the volume.
A hovercraft or other noisy vehicle at 97dB is not a pleasant experience and people don't enjoy it despite it having a lower sound pressure level than the music.
With the racing it's that mental connection between noise and perceived power, that's why stupid teenagers put loud exhausts on their mopeds and 1.2 Corsas. They think they sound more powerful.

Things change, perceptions change and Ecclestone is a dinosaur.

An interesting snippet from the Mercedes Club Gazette ( No, I am not a subscriber) Reference the new Merc engine.
"Much has been made of the sound of the new cars, which are far much quieter with a much subdued growl.
Bernie Ecclestone said after the Australian race that he was "horrified" by the lack of volume that was being produced complaining that the lack of dramas a  result of the new sound could have an impact on ticket sales".

Oh! If only we had the same problem or perhaps that where we are going wrong

There was nothing wrong with these old Singer sewing machines back in the 1930's

If this can be done on a bicycle then I'm sure a hovercraft could do better

Ebay has told me that that "this is something you may like"
I could not resist looking and I am so captivated by the sales pitch that I desperately  hope I am not too late for Santa.

Gotta share this.

Just been watching a programme presented by Mark Williams on Industrial Revelations.
Michael Faraday was asked by the then Chancellor of the Exchequer , "but dear sir what use will it be"
Faradays reply was "It is highly probable that one day you will be able to tax it"
Brilliant reply.
