NEW BRSCC ELECTRIC SINGLE-SEATER SERIES
Races next year followed by 2024 championship planned for new Formula Foundation-E coming to UK tracks
Ground-breaking club-level singleseater electric racing is set to kick off in the UK next year with the British Racing and Sports Car Club’s new Formula Foundation-E.
The programme has been well over a year in development and testing for FF-E1 electric race car purchasers is due to start early next year with the BRSCC committing to standalone single-make races during 2023.All parties’goal is a 2024 full championship season.
The BRSCC has been in dialogue with Motorsport UK throughout development, and the new formula can take place within normal ‘petrol-based’racing events.
The likely format is 15-minute qualifying followed by two or three 20-minute races either on a single day or across a weekend.
The car’s 120kW (c160bhp) power unit enables 0-60mph acceleration of around three seconds and a theoretical top speed of over 130mph.
Snetterton-based RSR Technology Ltd, which is building the cars, has scheduled customer delivery of its first six-car run for around April 2023, with the second six-car run scheduled for August. The formula is intended to attract both privateer drivers and upcoming talent.
The first public viewing for the FF-E1 is scheduled for the Formula Ford Festival on October 22-23. It will be on open display in the paddock, with the team on hand, and there will be an on-track demo on the Saturday, with full commentary and live online streaming.
A complete, fully built, race-ready FF-E1 race car in your chosen colour scheme is available for £79,995+VAT.
