And in news that will surprise no one:
Electric GT postponing season until 2019 in pursuit of lead sponsor.
"The final ingredient is confirming a great lead investor who shares our vision of clean energy and transport, which is fundamental to launching the championship at the highest level possible.
“The championship start date will be set once this lead investor has been confirmed.”
And:
“We’re certainly aiming for the first half of 2019, it’s just a case of finding out when the money actually gets done and we’re ready to rock.
“We’re absolutely certain of next year. There’s a lot of opportunities to race next year and the remaining steps are essentially just down to this one step.”
Sounds to me like there's no one lined up and they are fishing for that money, feeling less sure about this. Similar to the i-Pace racing that is supposed to start testing this month but only one team confirmed thus far.
