On the grid

Electrathon is efficiency racing: a fixed battery budget, a full hour on track, and the most distance wins. Design discipline beats raw power.

    3rd in the feature race · 4th overall · 3rd, Multimatic Engineering Design Award

    The rebuild delivered: three Kraken X60 motors, a 120 A electrical system, and live CAN telemetry carried X2 to 3rd in the feature race, 4th overall in the competition, and a design-award podium.

    Fall Kickoff

    A rear sidewall failure in the closing laps put us on a flat tire — and we finished anyway. That tire is why X2 runs a heavy-duty rear wheel built for continuous racing load.

    Dennis Weishar Engineering Design Award

    Our debut. X1 completed the full 70-minute endurance race, took home the Dennis Weishar Engineering Design Award, and logged the telemetry that became the blueprint for everything X2 fixed.

Next season's schedule lands here once the 2026–27 calendar is confirmed.
