Lithium batteries are prone to catching fire or exploding if they're damaged. While it's of a minimal concern on a Prius (where every driver is slow-poking along while watching their real-time fuel computer), isn't that a bit of a safety concern for high-power sports cars? I mean, will we ever see a hybrid car racing in the JGTC?

There's a hybrid Prius running in the GT300 class this year. It apparently beat the GT300 BRZ in the first race.
