We have donated a round trip air/hotel/full access trip to the 24 hours of Nurburgring on May 18-21 and full access passes for two races at the Ring on March 31 and April 28.
Very interesting. The KERS being used is from the F1 design? Why the decision to change the nose? Air flow? Regulations? I was hoping one of your cars would have been at this past weekends Amelia Island.....maybe next year. Fingers crossed.

I think I will be there next year and if I am please say hello! Our KERS is an F1 unit. We're also doing a lot of development work on the engine and so far have found more HP. (restricted engines are very complicated especially in endurance tune) We're changing the nose to lower frontal area. Our fenders are lower as well. We're also reducing inlet as we have enough cooling and ducting radiator exit air to the sides of the car. We re engineered our underside diffuser.
Our KERS is real in that we're re capturing brake energy and hope to make 50 seconds of KERS HP per lap (8:30) Remember we run the Ring you know plus the GP course. On the Ring you know we hope to run 7 minute laps for 24 hours one after the other.
Very cool! I am assuming the KERS is electrical versus hydraulic based on the photo of the inverter. Is the energy storage batteries, supercapacitor, or flywheel based? Fifty seconds of "boost" would seem to imply significant storage capacity.
Jim, thanks for your reply. I know they are already working on next years Amelia Island event so I hope to see your there. I'll be sure to stop by and say hello. Good Luck this year.

wondered why in the upshift action the gearlever does not return into starting position(it does in downshift action) and have to be pushed back by the driver. Is that standard action or what is the reason for that ?

It does. That may have been after we were hit from the read and the cable was damage.
