Maiden race for the Formula E! 11/1/20

This was the 1st race day for my new Tamiya Formula E car on the new TC-01 4wd chassis with laydown shocks!  The setup needs some work to make it easier to drive though.

In Heat 1, I won the heat with a 21:07, fast lap of 13.305, average lap of  14.637, and consistency of  96.05%.  I made 6 minor driving mistake and had 0 crashes.


In Heat 2, I won the heat again with a 21:09, fast lap of 13.633, average lap of  14.671, and consistency of  89.60%.  I made 1 minor driving mistake and had 1 crash.


I TQ'd the class and just barely won the Main!  The race announcer was only calling out the time remaining in the race and not the race order, so I lost track of who was in 2nd place.  On the last lap 2nd position was right behind me and I didn't know, thus I wasn't defensing my position!  Luckily i beat him to the line by 0.2 seconds and won the Main with a 21:02, fast lap of 13.664, average lap of  14.328, and consistency of  96.98%.  I made 1 minor driving mistake and had 1 crash.


Ready to race!
