X-Tracer PIAXP prototype testing on wet Brno GP race track

In July 2008, swiss company E-Tracer Ltd. started track testing the first X-Tracer prototype built for the 2010 X-Prize. These on-board camera shots show that it is possible to use the full 52-degrees of lean angle even on a damp track, admitingly the track was still quite warm and the tires (michelin power ct2) were already up to heat. Watch closely and you'll see that sometimes the front gets loose but is instantly catched again when power is reduced to the 100kW-BRUSA electric motor.
