Established in September 2014, Bristol Electric Racing is entering it’s second class 2 design alongside an inaugural class 1 entry. The approach for this year has been evolutionary rather than revolutionary as we look to produce a tangible concept, learning from the hurdles faced by the sister class 1 entry. The flagship change for this years entry is a progression from a single to two electric motor drive, the initial step into the development and exploitation of torque vectoring.
