Divided by 2 to be more precise:
This is the graph of similar weight vehicle (Tesla roadster):
So if we take an example of speed increase from 100 to 110 at some corner, which seems realistic, that's about 0.03 kWh. Can't the wider and strengthened doors handle to swallow it? The rollcage is the same ok.Last edited by stefanvv; 9th November 2016 at 08:33.

I don't think it's a case of if they'll swallow it. It's a fact that the impacts will be bigger, since the cars will be quicker. So there you'll have more danger to hurt someone.
IMHO the cars should drive more spectacularly, not being quicker in the corners.Viola ad oltranza...

What matters is the change not the absolute number which tells You exactly nothing (I am sure You have no idea what structure You need to dissipate 0,03 kWh - so have I). In relative numbers a WRC car with the crew going 110 km/h instead of 100 km/h has 21% higher kinetic energy and that is what matters.
Anyway we are way off topic and I agree with Rally Power that the safety factor is pushed way too far in here especially since we have no relevant information. Throwing some bullshit numbers around and acting like we know what they mean is good for nothing.Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump

Fast forwarded videos like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-1f-_Z58GE aren't good for something either.

Think they could have avoided the RS200. It's probably not the same car from 1986, but having a similar spec one doesn't really help the festive atmosphere.
