With an electric GT sports car that has a 70 kWh usable battery pack, diving under race track conditions, a race may not be longer than 60 to maximum 70 kilometres. For a 3 kilometre long racetrack this would mean about 20 to 23 laps. On a 5 kilometres long race track only 12 to 14 laps. For electric GT sports cars that have a 100 kWh usable battery pack, diving under race track conditions, a race may not be longer than 90 to maximum 100 kilometres.  For a 3 kilometre long racetrack this would mean about 30 to 33 laps. On a 5 kilometres long race track only 16 to 18 laps.

Would it be interesting to split the electric GT sports cars therefor in groups depending on the “battery pack size”? Limit the usable capacity to par example 70 kWh effective use, by measuring the battery consumption value, a combination of output and input (from the regenerative braking).
In a second group the maximum usable capacity could be 100 kWh, and these cars could then drive more laps with a longer distance.

Using a bigger battery pack increases the weight of the car which makes the car slower, but a bigger battery pack could deliver maybe more power. With higher regenerating brake power it offers the possibility to use more power and be faster. It will be up to the teams to find the best balance, maybe for each race track depending on the layout.

The difference between the electric GT sports cars can therefor be bigger and to compensate the competitiveness level, a reversed starting grid could be interesting. The more powerful cars will be at the back of the starting grid and have the chance to fight their way to the podium positions.
On a race track with a Tracksplit overtaking becomes possible if the driver and car are good enough. The overtaking opportunity is much bigger than on a track without Tracksplit and the chance of dangerous overtaking manoeuvres are much lower. Talented drivers starting at the back will be able to drive to the front with an equal car as less talented drivers, and drivers with a more powerful car also have the chance to overtake safely at the Tracksplit, but will have to fight and also try to overtake other powerful cars and also the talented drivers.

With amateur drivers having the chance to drive 20 laps under Tracksplit reversed grid race conditions can be enough, for sure if they could drive 2 or 3 races per day.
After each race the batteries are recharged and the cars can be prepared for the next race. There are no noise problems as with internal combustion engine race cars and the exhaust emissions are with electric race cars also neglectable, so the environmental impact is also very low.

Does this sound interesting and promising for the years to come with the electric cars winning the car market around the world. Could a Tracksplit electric GT sports car series be an attractive venue for GT sports car manufacturers to promote their company, cars and capabilities? The races definitely can be very attractive with a lot of overtaking and probably always unknown winner and podium at the start of the race.

How could the approach be to see if a Tracksplit electric GT sports car series would be feasible?
