News angle is driver and stock i
Beccy Gordon is driver of practically stock Mitsubishi i. You're referring to the prototype i-MiEV that is racing as announced by Mitsu on March 1 (according to the media site).
I should have been more specific and spilled out the story in 100 percent detail so you didn't waste so much time on this. Once again, a specific reference would have been very helpful - not something vague. You yourself pointed out the announcement you are talking about is SIX weeks old - not two weeks old.
I am not in the habit of posting dusty news items. Rare to see something of mine more than 72 hours old because it doesn't do well with Google.
