Drayson Racing, which was created by Lord Drayson, a former science entrepreneur and the UK Minister for Science and Innovation in the previous government, will enter a race-bred Westfield iRACER in the Sports EV (electric vehicle) series within the EVCUP.

With a peak power of 260bhp and 660Nm of maximum torque per wheel, the Westfield iRACER is sure to keep even the most accomplished race drivers focused at every straight and corner.

Lord Drayson’s experience as a science entrepreneur, Government Minister, FIA panel member on future energy technologies, MIA Honorary President and successful race driver and team owner makes him perfectly placed to work closely with EVCUP in not only demonstrating the performance of electric vehicles, but progressing the development and growth of zero emission racing.

The EVCUP series gets underway in August with four events in the UK before going to Spain, Portugal and the USA.
