An all-Tesla racing series where modified electric cars compete against each other likely to take place soon

An all- **Tesla** racing series that was announced and created by a company called Electric GT Holdings two years ago has been given a green light by  FIA . FIA is the governing body that oversees most major motorsport events around the world. [caption id=“attachment_4331545” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] The Tesla Model S P100D.

The report adds that EPCS plans to conduct races on all major motorsport circuits around the world, pitting race-modified Tesla P100Ds that comprise of nearly 800 bhp of power. The series is yet to have a complete roster of teams or support from a long list of sponsors, setting up a mammoth task ahead for the organisers before any races. We do not have any details on the tentative dates or the circuits where races will be held but the first race is expected to take place by the end of 2018. Getting an approval from FIA would come as a major boost for the company since the authority is extremely strict when it comes to giving an approval to an event. It will also face serious competition in the form of **Formula E** which is currently the biggest and most popular electric racing series in the world.
