Drayson Racing is first team to sign up for 2014 Formula E Championship

Posted January 10, 2013 by Charles Morris & filed under Newswire, The Vehicles.

Drayson Racing Technologies announced at this week’s Low Carbon Racing Conference that its team intends to race in the inaugural season of the Formula E Championship in 2014. The FIA-sanctioned event will feature cars racing on the streets of 10 of “the world’s greatest cities,” powered exclusively by renewable electric energy.

Drayson plans to field two drivers, and will run the new Formula E customer racing car that is currently being developed by Spark and McLaren. In 2015, the team plans to be racing its own car, with a new drivetrain developed from the DRT 4X2-640 electric system featured in the Lola-Drayson B12/69EV car that set a new electric record this summer at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Team Principal Lord Drayson said, “We are hugely excited about the prospect of competing in the opening season of FIA Formula E. We aim to be one of the front runners from the start, leveraging the know-how we’ve built up over the past two years working on electric drivetrains and developing our 200 mph electric Le Mans prototype. We believe that FIA Formula E has very significant commercial potential, it will attract new fans and new sponsors to motorsport and is on track to become the world’s leading environmentally sustainable global sporting event.”
