Formulec Series: South Africa
100% Electric Motor Racing Is Here!
Meet the Formulec EF01, a truly awesome single-seater which combines speed and efficiency with sustainability and respect for the environment ⎯ the future of motor racing has arrived!
Designed and created by Formulec’s highly skilled technical management team in partnership with engineering specialist SEGULA Matra Technologies and the automotive branch of SEGULA Technologies, the company’s first high performance fully electric single-seater has proved to be a top-performer with very high potential, ever since its first test run on 15th September 2010.
The EF01 has been deployed for the 2011 International Motor Racing season calendar as an opening showcase at a number of events in a promotional tour. And on occasion the EF01 is poised to go head-to-head with its combustion engine counter parts in dramatic challenges.
In 2012, The Formulec World Series will officially be launched. This game changing series will comprise 10 events per year exclusively for the EF01 - which through the technical and sporting lessons learned from the Formulec Monotype World Series has been developed to conform to the same rule and specifications standards.
The format will continue in 2013, allowing selected top-class international drivers to measure their skills at the wheel of the EF01 on race tracks around the world. The vision for the 2014 season and beyond is for the ‘Formulec World Championship’ to be created for car manufacturers and industrialists who have developed their own electric single-seater racers to enter the Championship.
