Where has Electric GT Holdings gone?

With just over a month until the first race, the electric racing series has gone quiet.

Electric GT Holdings, the company running the first electric production car racing series (currently just Tesla), has gone relatively quiet after their first public car delivery/track test. With just over a month until their first race in Spain, you would expect coverage and news to be ramping up, right?

Apparently not. The last news from the series was the five-year technical roadmap which provided a detailed description of what will happen in each season. To add to the confusion, the last Instagram post they made was on July 24th, 2018 and their Twitter page is more updated but consistently recycles the same stats everyone knows about the car.

While a lack of social media presence is not a huge concern, you start to wonder what kind of state the series is in. No news of additional teams has come out and a lack of official press releases only a month away from Spain is concerning, especially with such a hyped racing series.

Perhaps we want too much too early, but if they’re going to make an impact in the motorsport world, this is not how you do it. Let’s be honest, have you even thought about the series in the last month? If the answer is no, that’s not a good sign for Electric GT Holdings.

It seemed everything was going extremely well after receiving FIA approval, the first car delivery to SPV Racing, and then the release of the ten race calendar. So we want to know, where has Electric GT Holdings gone and why are they going ghost. Besides announcing a Pirelli tire, not much has been given to fans.

This is precisely the time to build demand for tickets, and at the moment, you can still only reserve them. Reserving tickets is mostly a non-issue, but what good is that when no one even knows that you can reserve them?

That being said, we could be completely wrong. They could be planning a massive marketing campaign filled with awesome access all within the next month, but that’s just our optimistic mindset. What do you think? Is the series just toying fans along or will it finally have lift off in a months time?
