I think the very first video on that page is of ICE vehicles, not EV's.  There
is a caption saying that it was the "noisy things that they were sharing the
track with", although the caption does not explicitly state that they are ICE
vehicles.  I think that they are ICE vehicles will be obvious to EV fans who
have seen and heard EV drag races, but will not be clear to many of those who
will go that page not quite knowing about EV's or what to expect.

To avoid that confusion amongst new visitors to the field, I would suggest
removing that video, or maybe a better idea would be to move it to the bottom
and changing the caption to make explicitly clear that they're not EV's.  By
keeping the video, this would provide some point-of-reference as to the
difference in noise.  When I went to the page, it was the first video I loaded,
and I was momentarily confused until I loaded others.
