SPV Racing talks about their role in the Electric Production Car Series

Lars GV Lindberg talks with us about SPV Racing’s involvement in the new electric racing series.

The Electric Production Car Series run by Electric GT Holdings is set for launch later this year and so far, SPV Racing is the only team signed on. The team joined the list last year as planning was ramped up throughout 2017.

Despite the launch delay, the team is very excited about the opportunity to spearhead such a large project. SPV has many years of racing experience in the European Le Mans Series. The team runs LMP3 cars and will be testing an LMP2 car to run in the Asian Le Mans Series.

Lars GV Lindberg is the team manager for SPV Racing and will be handling the majority of responsibilities for the EPCS.

Electric is clearly happening, and Tesla has done a fantastic job of producing the platform. We look forward to being part of the paradigm shift and going global. — Lars GV Lindberg

The team will be receiving their first car very shortly and as soon as that happens testing will begin. The car will be built by Campos racing; they also help with the Mahindra Formula E cars.

Currently the team has two test drivers, Emma Kimiläinen and Alvaro Fontes. They have only been able to test the Tesla Model S P85D. No one has driven the P100D the way they would drive it during a race so testing will be very important for the team. Every team will be in the same position as the Tesla Model S P100D is the standard car being used.
