EcoGP, officially the Eco Grand Prix, is a European 24-hour car race for electric cars.[1]
History
The green series was conceived in 2013 by the world record holder Rafael de Mestre, holding several world records in driving with electric cars like the fastest circumnavigation (2016) or the longest trip in a production EV (2024). In 2018, the world's first 24-hour race for electric cars started in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben in Germany.
2018 it was the first 24-hour race in which electric production cars like Tesla Model S, Hyundai Ioniq, BMW i3, Renault ZOE, Volkswagen e-Golf and others took part. Thirty cars and 98 drivers took part in the first 24-hour electric car race. In 2019 forty electric cars started in Oschersleben, an unbroken world record until today.
In the later years EVs from Porsche, Opel, Kia and Jaguar joined the competition. Prototypes can join the ecoGP in a separate category.
