@@LonnieHutchinson90 Yes, I'm sure that the downforce produced by the Spéirling would be reduced by the thinner air at altitude, but then the current record holder (Volkswagen I.D.

Aye, this thing can do 10 laps at Silverstone at full smack, so assuming it can hang with roughly an F1 car of today over those 10 laps then that is 84-90 sec per lap or 850-900 sec at full smack, or 15 mins. (This also means almost 3 laps of Nordschleife at 919 Evo pace, hint, wink, hint, nudge) A typical Formula E race is 27-32 laps of 2 miles (Portland/Rome 23) and without delays it takes 50 mins of run time for em. If this thing could do that in 30 mins if the drivers body can keep up (Just 30 mins after all), so a car swap midrace could provide that.

@@e2rqey Won't last based on what? On going THAT HARD? Then indeed. But it's such a strong and larger battery, it had way more power to give over 45 minutes, and not really that much slowing down to do for corners. Formula E is about the slowest cornering series that is not street legal touring cars. Horrible tyres, no rear brakes, no meaningful downforce. The Spreirling could go 150 kph almost constantly around a "fast" FE track and barely slow down for corners. The fan would only be on full 23K rpm for the moments it corners and needs all the extra downforce. Cruising. Better than regen and accelerate is just coast and keep going faster. Air drag is probably lower on this one as well.

Would be a fascinating approach to electric car racing series, if the completely minimum settings allow, say 15 laps and everything on allows 8 then a 12 lap race could lead to some really interesting tactics for the drivers, making downforce/power compromises to save for the end of the race or pushing hard at the start to gain track position followed by heaps of defensive driving at the end to fend off the rest of the pack whilst conserving power.

It just occurred to me that this car is a perfect do-it-all supercar. This was designed to be a driver's car, first and foremost. You can dial the power up and down while keeping the fans off and ONLY using body downforce. That means this car can be anything from a 400hp single-seater sports car with a 60kWh battery and a loooong-ass range, all the way up to an F1-beating 1000hp fan car monster. So based on your skill level, you can safely start at a reasonable power level and learn how to drive with JUST grip, no downforce, and work your way up to that unique experience. And, of course, in terms of actual safety, this car is safer than anything else on the road. Truly. That's not something you'll find in any other car. And that alone makes this a relative bargain.
