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.
