This email will give you bit of information about electric car racing and where to go and check it out.

Electric Vehicle Cup presents the world’s first ‘green’ motor racing series based totally around zero emission electric cars, providing the platform for sustainable motor sport.

If you’ve been impatiently waiting to watch electric cars rip racetrack asphalt asunder, an end to your suffering may be in sight.

A new racing series branded EV Cup has just been launched in London with plans to bring 3 separate classes of cars to a half-dozen tracks around Europe beginning in 2011.

City and Sports EV series would consist of mono-maker grids using production vehicles, though they would receive some race prep in the way of stripped-out cabins and juiced-up power-trains.

The Prototype EV division is more of a no-holds-barred
time-trial-style constructor vs constructor affair with no weight or power restrictions and front, rear or all-wheel-drive configurations accepted.

The organization already has automakers lining up to get involved.

According to the EV Cup website Th!nk would provide the first field in the City EV category (with the more-appropriately-named than ever Th!nk City), while both Ginetta and the Lightning Car Company are eying a Sports EV series.

Meanwhile in the Prototype EV division, the GreenGT team is registered and ready to rumble, so to speak, with their
single-seat racer they say can hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds on the way up to its top speed of 170 mph.

Experience the ultimate electric vehicles,
leveraging their instant torque provided by electric motors and cutting-edge battery technologies, as they compete in the racing cup at the most challenging circuits.

This class is limited to city focused, production vehicles that can be seen in use today. Consisting of single-make races, the CityEV class will feature THINK City vehicles that have been prepared to a race specification. In addition to the modified and lightened interior and exterior changes, the vehicle will be running on the latest THINK prepared motor and battery technologies.

This class is reserved for race drivers of all abilities experienced in open cockpit race competitions. Based on a bespoke race car developed for the EV Cup race series by Westfield Sportscars, the iRACER is a pure race bred vehicle made for sprint racing. Equipped with a boost button
allowing for a surge of energy when executing overtaking manoeuvres, race strategy will play a key role towards victory on the track.

The PrototypeEV class follows a time-trial format allowing for the demonstration of the latest non-production electric vehicles to set competitive lap-times on the most challenging circuits. With little design limitations and no
weight or power limits, this class offers an exciting showcase for
electric vehicles.

Race teams and drivers will be housed in pit garages and provided with media exposure and hospitality throughout the day. The day will finish with a winner’s podium and press conference.
