It sounds pretty interesting because the Tesla Model S is to be default choice for 10 teams (total 20 cars), with other pure electric models also to be welcomed in the future (the Rimac Concept_S was hinted as example).

In 2017, 7 events are planned in Europe, America and Asia on race tracks like Barcelona, Donington, Mugello, Estoril.

The Electric GT World Series is to use only rear-wheel-drive Model S sedans – specifically the P85 or P85+, that also happen to be no longer produced in favor of 90 kWh versions.

The RWD Teslas are said to provide more spectacular racing than the more powerful AWD cars. We could assume that less peak power – from only one motor – will also be better in regards to battery pack overheating.

According to an interview with series founders Mark Gemmell (CEO) and Agusti?n Paya? ("an engineer and race car driver who will oversee all technical developments and is owner of the championship"), Model S is more than suitable for GT racing.
