Bad Points

  • Reliability - fan broke
  • Pit stops could be better
  • Foam needs to be fixed down more
  • R-Pods beat us :)
  • Joystick wrong angle and too far forward
  • Drivers taking off throttle to soon
  • Some improvements possible
  • Pit stop practice and discipline
  • Paintwork

Good Points

  • 2nd place on 1st outing of the car
  • All drivers had their fastest laps
  • No serious problems
  • Aerodynamics good
  • 95% full throttle
  • Driving was consistantly good.
  • Drivers accesible and focused
  • Performance of the car

Possible Improvements

  • Driver practice throttle and pit stops
  • Better finish - wheels, car
  • Lower rolling resistance tyres
  • Co-operate more as a team. Talk through strategy, share expieriences.
  • Seating/harness needs to adjust to drivers better
  • Adjust the length of joystick for each driver.
  • Seat lays back too much.
  • Surface finish on the body. Lumps/bumps create uneven airflow on the car.
  • Better aerodynamics. Perhaps changes to cars shape, nose cone, tails, wheels. Test out in VWT.
  • Gearing. Could lower ratios a little.
