The Electric GT Championship Launch
Ibiza, September 27th 2016

Electric GT


The official launch of the Electric GT Championship is tomorrow night in Ibiza Marina, with public demonstration runs and a tour around the waterfront in the town of Ibiza. The racing series starts next year.

The championship will feature 20 drivers from 10 teams competing in seven championship rounds at tracks across Europe: the Nürburging in Germany; the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain; Mugello in Italy; Brands Hatch in the UK; Zandvoort in the Netherlands; Estoril in Portugal and Paul Ricard in France. Non-championship rounds are also planned in the Americas.

Race weekends will consist of a 20-minute practice session, 30 minutes of qualifying and two 60km races, one in the day and one at dusk. Organisers say each weekend will be a “festival of technology and innovation for sustainability”, and each race will be streamable on YouTube, Twitch and Periscope.

 

You didn't read properly, did you.

There is no mention of 24h race, but 60km sprint races.

 

For you maybe.

I find Formula E races entertaining; they are less predictable than F1, and there are more overtaking.

It's a different crowd too ...
