Yeah. Me and a bunch of other guys. We're heading to Silverstone in a week to compete with other university teams from around the world. DUT Racing for more information. (There is an english flag in the top right corner).

Any specs on any kind of power?

Lol I am sure y'all heard about the hybrid rally car that recently got axed in Europe due to unfair advantage.

It'll be nice to see the off the line torque of EV race cars come to fruition as the battery cells get lighter...but until then gotta keep on blowing up dead dinos.

50kW for 174.5kg. Acceleration we haven't tested properly yet but 0-100kph is about 3.6 seconds calculated. Top speed is estimated around 180 kph, but I don't think we'll test that.

0-60 in 3.6 seconds...lol

That's pretty killer

Hi.

Cool project.

I see Your el. mini-formula and raise with this:

An old one, sure, but a painful reminder of ignorance when it comes down to things that move fast and accelerate quickly.
