EcoVelocity Event Director, Giles Brown, said: “The EVCUP has already created an enormous stir in the world 
of motoring since its launch, and we are very pleased to welcome it to EcoVelocity. To have EVCUP 
on board is extremely positive, and highlights the fact that greener motoring is now very much on 
the motor racing agenda.”

EVCUP Managing Director Sylvain Filippi added: “We are very excited at the prospect of unveiling the 
iRacer and we are delighted to be taking part in EcoVelocity, an event that helps to highlight the 
importance of driving cleaner, greener cars in our urban environments.” 

The EVCUP will kick-off in the United States in November, with two race events in California, the 
first at the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca on the 26th November and the second at Auto Club Speedway 
on the 17th December before a full series launch in 2012.
