Drayson aims to break track records.

PAUL DRAYSON, Managing Partner at Drayson Racing Technologies of Kidlington, U.K., is looking to make a statement with his new Lola/Drayson B12/69EV racecar, a 200-plus-mph (322-plus-km/h) electric technology demonstrator.

“Even though the electric car market is struggling a bit right now, it seems certain that electric cars are going to be an important part of the car business, so if motor racing wants to remain relevant it needs to go electric,” he said. “And electric racing will provide a new opportunity to get the general public to appreciate and understand the benefits of electric cars.”
