Interesting. Here is the text of the email Azhar sent to teams...

Dear Team member,

EMXGP was due to be launched during the GP-Elec event this June in partnership with the City of Levallois, Paris. Since announcing our intentions in November, we have been working hard to deliver a world class event. To date we have had over 50 expressions of interest from teams, some of whom we have engaged with to research and understand the needs and requirements that you, as a potential team may have as well as examine how this event can best benefit you.

As a result of this feedback, and understanding that the single most important factor is to provide more preparation time, we have taken the difficult decision to move the launch of EMXGP to an alternative major European city venue with a mid October launch date. This will allow all the participating teams more time to build as well as allow EMXGP to create a much bigger and more useful event; integrating the launch of EMXGP into a larger programme of zero carbon racing and a carbon conference to examine the wider energy crisis and every day green technology solutions.

Read the rest here...
