The National Council of Corvette Clubs had banned all hybrids and EVs from competition. But now the E-Ray will be allowed.
The National Council of Corvette Clubs came under fire last month when it was discovered that the hybridizedwould be banned from competing or participating at its sponsored events and shows. Following a significant amount of backlash from the Corvette community itself, NCCC has released a new statement acknowledging another adjusted rule set that allows the E-Ray to compete.The outcry from fans came after Section 1.8.1 item 14 of the NCCC rulebook made its way around the internet last month.
Electric Vehicles/Hybrids using lithium type battery packs are prohibited in competitive events. If driven to NCCC events, they should be parked 30 feet minimum from structures or other vehicles.The E-Ray features a single electric motor mounted above the front axle, which gives the Corvette AWD capabilities for the first time. A minuscule battery located in the center spine of the chassis supplies the juice, while the 6.2-liter LT2 V-8 fromsits out back.
While the rulebook listed by NCCC still doesn't back up Murphy's claims about that initial ruling, this is a win for E-Ray buyers. Whether or not they have a battery onboard, the E-Ray was designed for track work like every other C8. Murphy stated that the rulebook will ultimately be adjusted to reflect the group's position on the matter. Whether or not NCCC softens up to all-electric cars, a pure EV Corvette doesn't seem that far off at this point.
