Introducing the Model 3 Challenge – North America’s First EV Racing Series!
Hello TMC Fam – we are extremely excited to share with you all the launch of the Model 3 Challenge! We’ve partnered with Gridlife – bringing together electric vehicle racing and some of the most epic motorsport festivals in North America! It’s going to be nothing short of historic watching a pack of Model 3’s battling one another for position in front of thousands of spectators.
The Model 3 Challenge concept was born out of a desire to do more than just lapping days or one-lap competitions. By utilizing a common platform with a limited configuration, we hope to bring you the excitement of wheel-to-wheel racing without the risk, expense, and impracticality of a caged race car.
Using power-limited Model 3’s, almost every version is eligible to compete on a similar playing field, from Standard Range Plus’s to Performance models! This also allows us to run longer sprints without the worry of significant power reduction.
As a participant, you can expect plenty of overtaking, tight racing, and mega fun!
The Official 2023 Event Schedule is as follows:
AUG 18 – 20 | Lime Rock Park – CT at Gridlife Circuit Legends
SEP 30 – OCT 1| Willow Springs – CA at Gridlife Streets Special
OCT 20 – 22 | Laguna Seca – CA at Gridlife Laguna Seca
In addition to the official events, we will be running some non-competitive warmup events at the following Gridlife events. These warmups will run with other Gridlife sessions, sharing the concept of the Model 3 Challenge before our official events kick off later in the season.
APR 28 – 30 | Watkins Glen International – NY at Gridlife At The Glen
AUG 4 – 6 | Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course – OH at Gridlife Mid-Ohio Meet
Assetto Corsa Model 3 Challenge Online:
In an effort to get everyone into a “seat” as soon as possible, we are also announcing the launch of our Assetto Corsa online Model 3 Challenge. We hope that this can give you all something fun to do during the off-season, and familiarize yourself with the overall concept, passing rules, etc. The series is very casual, totally for fun, and not all that competitive. So, we welcome you to join and have some fun!
Tentatively, events will take place bi-weekly on Saturday’s at 2:30PM EST starting January 28th, 2022, and will run for around two hours. More details will be posted a week prior to each event. For more information, view MPP’s Assetto Corsa Cup Webpage!
