This looks like an exercise in design but....


If it could do a 20-30 minute session on track and then recharge at 6 minutes.. uh yes, this would be a great track toy if the track had proper charger. I think tracks should start adopting charging stations at some point - EV's will start to become normalized at the race track in the not too distance future, especially after the next leap in battery tech.

A car that could do 30 min. Balls out, safely fully recharged in 6 min., and affordable.... that would be pretty cool.

Not bad. I can't remember how long F1 races are these days, but I thought I saw they no longer are allowed to refuel. So FE looks like they followed suit.

I never got into any kind of two-wheel action. Not even sure if they do pit stops.
