Electric Formula Vee Racecar - the beginning of something very, very cool...

It's not silent but there are not as much audio cues from the engine to help a driver drive s car on the limit there is no time to look at gauges most good drivers drive by ear as well as arse sensors!

where did you test this? i saw the ev capri in beacon hill but what about this?

[makinnoizemedia]

@isitrellythatgood We tested it at HART at St Ives. Sounds like you've seen the EV Capri in my driveway! Do I know you??

[isitrellythatgood]

@makinnoizemedia Oohhh ok. No you dont but a friend of mine lives down the street from you and i saw it in the driveway a while back and just stumbled across this today.

The gas engine is for people with very small brains. Let's see in what areas electric beats gas? More power,more torc, less parts,perfect weight distribution, in vehicles, less maintenance, easy replacement of motors, and batteries, less weight. Duh gas is stupid expensive, and destructive to the environment. I won't even start to mention how many dictatorships in the world are funded solely by fossil fuels.

To all you stone age thinkers that don't believe in the electric revolution.

Formula Vee,is air cooled flat 4.

Go build your own chassis.

Stupid to be useing modern tech in such an old chassis

[MichaelIanHenry]

@djyul I would venture to say that by using an established Vee chassis with some slight body modifications helped to keep R&D cost down quite a bit. Not really so stupid, rather smart Id say.

[drewster1971]

best of luck with your venture mate. Personally, motorsport is all about the attack on all 5 sences. without the presence of noise and smell, its just not cricket in my book!

[oli696969]

@drewster1971 its not silent is it ?

[starmanskye]

These kind of sanctioned races are EXACTLY what's needed to give the electric vehicle industry a kick-ass boost. I know I'd go to see an all-electric race in different classes, from genuine converted 'stock' car conversions to factory teams and Formula V and even sprints. Bring 'em on!

[moreboost]

lol, nice. I want one :)

[DXR13KE]

What is the acceleration on that?

[paulb4uk]

superb it would make great racing if you had an all electric race .

[evmotorcycle]

Oh yes please!!! Bring it on!!! >:) LOVE IT!!!

[jmoyet]

haha cool!! would love to see it racing full on.

[mcphee1969]
