A couple of weeks back Urban Times visited the (Metro owned, EDF associated) low-carbon motor festival, EcoVelocity at London’s Battersea Power Station. Alongside this article recounting the day, we also conducted an interview with Andrew Lee, Founder of the EV Cup – the world’s first circuit racing series exclusively featuring zero-emission electric vehicles. Andrew and the EV Cup team had brought along their new electric race car the iRACER to be unveiled to the public for the first time. In our interview Andrew divulged the intimate details of eco-aware electric vehicle motor racing. He told us about some of the technicalities of EV Cup’s pioneering approach to motor sport, and gave us his answers as to why it is a viable business. It’s early day for EV Cup but they are undoubtedly heading up a historic development set to take the world by storm.
The EVCUP will kick-off in the United States in November, with two race events in California, the first at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on the 26th November and the second at Auto Club Speedway on the 17th December before a full series launch in 2012. EV CUP
