That electric motor re-gen is the perfect trail-brake. Right up until you're on the throttle that thing is effectively "braking" for you. It's so awesome to see how late you can brake carrying that much speed into any corner.
I always wonder what some hybrid hypercars would do without their hybrid weight. Like the McLaren P1. 180 kg / 180 hp of hybrid stuff but some savings from the starter, I believe. Would be a pretty light 750 hp car without all that, and still RWD. When you add a driven axle it gets easier to make up for the weight with traction. The regen on the alternate axle (especially if front) helps for clean extraction. You want the very most regen the system will take without running into heat issues. I'm dying to have an Ariel Nomad be modified like crazy. Ideally a silent killer EV with modest battery, not toooo crazy power, AWD from 4 pancake motors. Hopefully torque vectoring software and stuff can be reasonably procured. Sub ton, 300-400 hp on rally wheels ought to be epic. Slightly altering the chassis to add two pancake motors and a battery for the front axle sure would help off-road performed if decently dialed and not too heavy. The Plaid pack is like 550 kg supposedly? 2 of the 5 modules for 40 kWh/400 hp or 1 module for 20 kWh/200 hp? For a full size road car, the latter would be pretty epic for calm commuting, be it add-on hybrid or bare bones around-town EV with ginormous frunk. Curious to what time you can get this hybrid mod! I bet it's way more complex to dial than I want to think about...
Can you talk about what seems like a pogoing effect when hitting multiple bumps in a row like at the beginning of the straight. Is it worth it to have it do that for stability in other areas of the track or is that something that is still being dialed in?
Yeah, the spring/damper setup is wrong for this track. We wanted to try to improve this during the day, but we tested tires and to be fair couldn't change anything else between sessions! We didn't change springs for this track, but I would imagine that softer springs and tuning the dampers to reduce wheelspin over those bumps would be faster than the relatively minor aerodynamic losses since the track is so slow!
Kels rips almost as hard as a Genesis coupe on Raceland coilovers, Firehawk tires, and a burble tune!
😂
yeah no I for SURE definitely don't have any experience with this extremely specific reference 🤣😅
Bruh not hardly
Hyundai conoisseurs will also have at least 6 degrees of negative camber, optimal angle for those awesome indy500! 😅

I love everything about this build man
So cool, pure Racecar ❤Kels
I love this car so much! I never thought I'd say this, but I think there is too much car for that track to handle lol.
love this car

Looks super well set up
Regular air in the tires, or nitrogen? Would be fun to try both back to back and see the difference in pressure changes.

Where is the new body kit from?
He apparently knows an aerodynamicist that works at AMG Petronas F1, who designed it. 😮
Back in my day you had to whisper to the tires, not read new-fangled digital displays.
🔥🔥🔥
Hella bumpy
Everytime I see this car i wanna buy a Z
no z would be even close to this thing
Want
