Proposed Rules for a Prototype Electric class
#33649 from Clifford Rassweiler · No action required · Minutes (2023-03 Fastrack)
Thank you for your letter and thoughts on the future of cars for the PE class.
One of the greater challenges for a class based on weight and HP that allows considerable freedom in all other
chassis/suspension design aspects is creating a Balance of Performance within the class. The 63-inch minimum width is
necessary to keep the effect of aerodynamic performance within a range considered to be manageable for BoP.
It is anticipated that the first cars entering the class will be conversions of existing chassis of sports racers or formula cars fitted
with full bodies and an EV drivetrain, and the 63-inch minimum width fits that target conversion platform. The choice of the
listed motors is the result of modeling directed at achieving the current P2 lap time performance envelope.
