ENECC Meeting notes
25 May 2016 Paris
E-Rally Commission meeting: Lars, Carlos, Francois, George, Yalcin
- 4 Categories too many
- Need to consolidate to a single group, especially for regularity events
- The conversion formula does not work properly - need to revise the calculation
- New project: 80 days around the world in an electric car
- This can be tied to local electrical races / events
- Another view: WRC - JWRC like setup for the future: Limited number of stages that is run in a regular WRC event (ie: only run 1 leg for electric vehicles for a 3 leg full rally)
