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)
