The Electric Production Car Series (previously known as the Electric GT Championship) was a proposed zero-emission international auto racing championship organized by Electric GT Holdings. The inaugural season was planned to take place in 2018, but was cancelled due to a lack of a lead investor.[1][2]
Each race weekend were to consist of a 20-minute practice session and a 30-minute qualifying session followed by two races, one day race and one dusk race, each lasting 60 kilometers.[3] The organizer also intended to run an electric kart racing series to recruit drivers.[4]
For the inaugural season of the championship, all teams were to be supplied with identical versions of a modified Tesla Model S, with the intention of introducing other manufacturers later.[5]
The initial Tesla model announced for the championship was the Model S P85, which was later updated to the Model S P100D for tests on the Circuit de Calafat in Spain in December 2016.[6] The car was modified with improved brakes, suspension, aerodynamics, and an overall reduction of weight.[7]Pirelli would be the sole tire supplier,[3][4] and MAGNUM CAP would provide charging systems consisting of a 20 CHAdeMO-standard fast charger, which would charge the vehicles at a rate of 55 kW.[8]
A provisional calendar for the inaugural 2018–19 season was announced on 24 April 2018.[12] A pool of drivers to be contesting the series, called the Drivers' Club, had also been announced, but no drivers were assigned to or claimed by the sole confirmed team.[13]
The season was postponed in September 2018, which effectively resulted in the cancellation of the series as no replacement dates have been announced since.[2]
