Bathurst Track Day

[cafz]

If you have a Motorsport Australia Speed License and some track experience, you can apply to join an upcoming Bathurst Track Day for road-registered cars only. There's apparently a few spots left. It'd be great to see an M3P out there!

Wear in or wear out?

Wear in or wear out?

Generally all parts of the tyres haha

Always wanted to take my Model 3 Performance on Bathurst. I'm a little far away in NQ though

That Bathurst Supercharger is going to get some work in that case given my track experience with a Tesla and how fast the battery can deplete

I read recently that Formula E is introducing pit stop charging. That may lead to some substantial new charging speeds

Anything that helps to innovate progress is a win!

It's the heat management of the battery that gets tricky

People truly bring some weird vehicles to a track.

Interesting. Any idea how fast? I note the series sponsor is ABB

They are talking a very short pit stop time which will be mandated. Presume the objective is then for teams to maximise power input in that time so they can push harder. I didnt see any numbers. Based on the video it was maybe a minute or two.

Yep. Only a 30 sec charge.
Seems to be part of a new procedure to implement Boost Mode.

Previously you had to go through a virtual gate on the edge of the track.

Track Day or not, it is fun to do a few laps of Mt Panorama in a Tesla… just don’t break the speed limit

It would be cool to see if there are any Tesla days up at the tailem bend Motorsport park. They have a huge supercharger setup at the OTR servo just outside the gate.
I wouldn’t be beating any records but it would be fun to learn some driving skills from people in the know
