Electric Formula Cars did a demo run with their EFC 1.0 at iRace Round 2 and also appeared at the Hunter Valley Electric Vehicle Festival.

They are currently raising some finance for a battery upgrade which will enable them to compete head-to-head with petrol vehicles.

They are also working on the development of EFC 2.0 which is a Dallara IndyCar.

Electric Vehicle Festival

iRace is supporting the development of clean technology with it's backing of Formula 0 ™.

Some people have asked whether an electric motor can really have the power of a petrol engine, well have you considered that electric motors can propel trains so they are not lacking in grunt!

For those interested in this type of technology have a look at the Hunter Valley Electric Vehicle Festival.

This is Steve Thompson’s well sorted 9GT running in the Muscle division – Japanese turbo.
