Toyota Motorsport sets new electric record with EV P002 on the Nrburgring [w/video] After reading this Could this be a Tesla-battery-pack?
not a 40kWh Tesla pack. Tesla packs are designed for 4C peak discharge rate (maximum power delivery during acceleration). The Toyota's lap time was 7:22 or 1/8 hour. Ideally the pack is sized to get nearly depleted during the race lap -> average 8C discharge rate, with peaks probably in excess of 20C. LiFePO4 chemistry can deliver this but not Tesla with Panasonic cells.
I found it interesting that: 1. Time started at full speed, not standing start. Is that standard? 2. There's lots of writing (graffiti?) on the pavement. What's that about?
