"To
finish first, first you have to finish!"
The
car has covered a lot of miles this weekend. We were able to run
consistently and recharge the car in time to make the next session.
The car is reliable at a 300 amp race pace and a 400 amp qualifing
pace.
We
have improved the air flow through the radiator. While the external
design seems to be working, the detail work inside the air box needs
more work. The battery temperatures are fine but we need to make
sure they will stay down as we turn up the amps.
As
soon as we can get our battery management system into action, we
should be able to make greater use of the capacity of the pack.
This will allow us to run higher power and still know we can finish
the race.
With
the electrical parts coming together, it is time to fix the brakes
and explore our tire options.
