The second RAC Future Car Challenge will take place on Saturday 5 November 2011.

The initiative will be staged each year during the same November weekend as the Club’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run to actively promote, demonstrate and challenge new low-energy technology and echo the pioneering start of motoring in 1896.

Just as the pioneering 19th Century event demonstrated the capabilities of the new found horseless carriage, this new 21st Century event provides the platform to promote, demonstrate and challenge the first radical change of the power of motor vehicles since that time.

A motoring challenge for electric, hybrid, hydrogen and low-emission ICE vehicles to use the least energy over a 60-mile route from Brighton to London and finish in London’s Regent Street, closed to regular traffic especially for the occasion.

The 2010 challenge attracted more than 60 entries, from major motor manufacturers and private entrants, and witnessed the debut of a number of pre-production and development cars of the future.
