EV Cup Changes Location, Timing of First Races

Circuit will kick off in U.S. rather than U.K.

By Exhaust Notes May 20, 2011 7:25AM
The EV Cup, a new zero-emissions racing circuit, has changed both the location and season of its debut. Rather than premiering in the U.K. this summer, the EV Cup will now debut with two races in California. The first will take place at Laguna Seca in November; the next, at Auto Club Speedway in December.

As for the reason behind the move, EV Cup managing director Sylvian Fillipi said: “The EV world is developing extremely quickly with technical advances happening almost on a daily basis. The requirements for safety aspects and the delivery schedule for race cars was not going to allow sufficient time for testing. We need to ensure that we are absolutely ready and have everything exactly right before we start.

Which means -- well, not much of anything, really. It means that if you're a fan of the burgeoning EV racing scene, get yourself to Laguna Seca in November.

What I want to comment on is the MSN Autos feature 10 Worst Autos.  Don't you people have any Editors?  Any Researchers?  Both the Pinto and the Corvair write-ups are slam-pieces comprised of myth and zero facts.
