    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    It was not a race weekend that gave points for the overall standing, it was in fact a launch event, because only 7 cars were ready and, of these, only 5 could do the "hand-to-hand" race having already the homologation of the Rollbar. But the whole Format was done!

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    Hello everyone, as you may know I am the organizer of the E-STC championship. I can confirm that we did the first launch event, in Imola, and it was super exciting for us! To answer your question, the FIA homologated the Rollbar only a couple of weeks ago, so some have not managed to finish the...

    Now diet, assembly with racing parts and will soon be on track ... official presentation at the Monza racetrack in April! The event will be streamed, also in English ... if the forum rules allow it, I will post the Link here! :cool:

    We actually also have a power limiter that acts on our throttle. I think you meant something like this?

    Well, it's a sports series, there are a lot of things that are for the insiders and not put in the "public", the site is mainly for fans, journalists etc. If you look at what's in our other categories (which, as I repeat, form the largest Racing Weekend in Italy), the sites are very similar. We...

    Of course, you can see our championships on the website www.formulaxitalianseries.it or on social networks (Formula X Racing Weekend and E-STC Series)! I am attaching the calendar in its final version and the teams. If you need more information I'm at your disposal!

    Sorry, definitely my English is not good .. but I think my request was clear. I was asking for my curiosity, knowing quite well the reaction of the cars on the track (we are organizers of 17 of the main categories in Italy) and seeing a great discussion on the pads, I was curious to know if in...

    Of course, as you know Unplugged uses dedicated braking systems, it was my curiosity if it was possible to achieve a satisfactory result only with brake lines and racing pads, perhaps for those who in the future will only be on the track to do "track days".

    Yes, I am part of it! Sorry, I realized that I had the google translator activated and it "translated" my previous post into Italian before sending, I rewrite it: "Out of curiosity, has anyone used the original calipers on the track + track pads with good results (I'm talking about full 20...

    Per curiosità qualcuno ha usato le pinze originali in pista + pattini con buoni risultati (parlo di stint completi di 20 minuti)? Ovviamente nella conformazione originale non sono utilizzabili, ma il disco e la pinza non sono male (parlo di Performance), mi chiedevo se usando tubi freno racing e...

    Performance Model 3 Drag Race - 2021 vs 2018 - Is it Faster?

    Hi, were you able to identify how much SOC this is happening at? Is it sudden (for example up to 31% normal and 30% suddenly the car decreases power) or gradual? From your experiences it is independent with which battery? (Panasonic or LG)?

    Ok, can someone try if this happens even in track mode with low SOC ?!

    End of Year at VIR - Testing Drivetrain Cooling - Updates for Next Year

    We understand that the "problem" is not yet solved, but what difference did you find before and after mounting the oil cooler in time on the track for overheating?

    Google translate. :) I also contacted the drivers and carefully watched all the videos of the races, depending on the track you can do up to 40km before the battery changes "color" in the display. They confirmed to me that, except in a circuit where they save battery, they drive with the...

    I am always looking for a cooling solution to use in the championship that we will start in 2021. I have studied the solutions used in the Jevra EV (I think you know it) and they seem effective, the cars that have a cooling system (water sprayers) can easily do 30km with the battery on "green"...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    If you have the chance try to do one or more fast laps with the SOC below 50% but with the car cold. It would be very interesting data, because it always arrives at that SOC when the car is hot, so we would actually see how much power can be available at low SOC without overheating.

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    That's right ... if the data were really correct it would be a problem, because in this case the oil is not able to cool the stator. You can cool the oil as much as you like, but it won't solve the problem.

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    Of course, since you weren't pushing, it's hard to understand exactly but your data is very useful. At maximum power level the decrease is minimal between lap 1 and lap 5, even with a 20% less SOC with the "battery" on green. Even once it turns Red, albeit much lower, the maximum power appears...

    Where do you see the oil temperature? With "Scan My Tesla" only the rotor temperature is indicated if I'm not mistaken.

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    Yes, but as I told you, overheating is a more serious variable .. and I will do everything to "eliminate" it. There are many cases on the track where one car overheats more than another and if this causes a car to be overheated even just one lap earlier than the others in that lap it loses 2...

    Mattak, for example, laps 1, 2, 4 and 6 were all done with the "green" battery in the track mode? If you can tell, what track were you on?

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    I confirm, they will be short circuits and without long straights, and I confirm that the performance degradation given by the SOC is not a problem. Also because, honestly, a Model 3 with the modifications we want will be faster than almost all touring cars even when the lap time is 3/4 seconds...

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    In fact, SOC is not a problem, the loss is constant and will be the same for all participants. Overheating, as far as I understand, causes a much more significant drop in performance and is difficult to manage with the strategy (accelerating slightly less is not enough to lower the temperatures...

    OK thanks. Is the feeling when the battery turns "red" a sudden drop in power or is it gradual as it warms up?

    MASTER THREAD: Comprehensive Road-Course Modification Guide — Optimizing the 3 for the track

    Interesting .. but honestly I don't find them good data. The oil temperature (if it is really this) is really very low, it means that the problem is not overheating of the liquid (which can be solved) but probably due to "stress" of use, so I'm afraid it could be a technical limit . Can you...
