Tesla racing championship Electric GT still alive after crash and delays

Electric GT, the all-electric and all-Tesla racing championship, has been working to bring its racing events for the past few years, but it has missed its last few deadlines.

Last time we heard from them, they crashed their Tesla Model S prototype race car during testing.

But they are still alive and kicking and now plan to launch their inaugural season next year.

Earlier this year, Electric GT CEO Mark Gemmel tentatively announced some dates and circuits for the launch of his all-Tesla racing championship with a start at Silverstone in August.

We will finally have to wait a little longer to see their stripped-down racetrack-ready Tesla Model S P100D accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.0 seconds since the launch of the championship has slipped to November 25 at the Paul Ricard circuit in France.

Electric GT, the all-electric and all-Tesla racing championship, has promised to deliver a stripped-down racetrack-ready Tesla Model S P100D  that can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.0 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds). The weight reduction is critical to this accomplishment and they have now revealed how they did it.

While the bulk of the weight reduction, which they now claim to be 1,100 lbs, came from stripping the interior, the championship partnered with natural fiber composite manufacturer Bcomp to further reduce the weight with biocomposite panels.

The idea of the Electric GT championship got a lot more exciting since they finally decided to let go of the Tesla Model S P85+ and instead use the new Tesla Model S P100D with ‘Ludicrous+’.

They claim that their stripped-down racetrack-ready Tesla Model S P100D can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.0 seconds (0 to 100 km/h in 2.1 seconds). The organization has now confirmed a launch date for the first season of the championship where we will see this racetrack-ready P100D in action for the first time.

When Electric GT, an all-Tesla and all-electric racing championship, announced that it will only use the Tesla Model S P85+, we were surprised. Since the release of the P85+, Telsa has released 3 models that are more powerful and which would make more sense for an entertaining racing competition.

This week, however, the championship announced that they will use the Tesla Model S P100D for their next-gen all-electric racing car, named ‘Electric GT V2.0’.
