FormulaFox is heading for a stewards' enquiry!
Panoz and Green4U

Not sure where best to put this, but I GUESS we can call it a "rumor" until it's actually built.

Panoz's secret project unveiled, and it's definitely out of left field:
http://sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/p...-56-contender/

I'm looking forward to seeing if they can make it work - In Formula E discussions people keep telling me it's impossible to make a racecar that can have it's batteries swapped out easily during a pitstop AND provide enough power to have decent speed and range. Hopefully this comes to fruition and proves the matter one way or another.

I could see that in an open wheel setup but a sportscar chassis offers much more range of mounting options and locations. Course from knowing a lot of engineers from college, those who say impossible are always wrong and usually take the simple easy route not the guys who truly make new things.

It is on display at Le Mans. But there's probably not much under the plastic bodywork. Until there is, it is Panoz-grade vaporware.

P38 in workshop has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I admire any effort to advance the way that cars race.I do have reservations about this concept as using a pallet truck to remove and replace a battery pack is little more than a way to overcome the inherent shortcomings of present day technology.Do we know where the design was developed?

Isn't that what you're meant to do though? Overcome the shortcomings? We did it with petrol by building a world wide petrol network. When it comes to batteries we already have a world wide electricity network - we just need a way of getting it into the car quicker.

And it isn't like we haven't seen quick change fuel tanks before

Yeah, try stuff. Mostly it doesn't really help and you move on. Occasionally it works and you open a door.

Wouldn't surprise me if actually built it on a leftover tub. It's not meant to compete, just prove a concept, so if you can work it into a design you already have on hand, why not?

That said, cockpit's on the wrong side. ;P (on the other hand, we've only seen a mockup and renderings so far)

Your contempt for MP would be more founded if he had actually written the article. But it wasn't him nor did they reference a magazine but rather a quote from the spokesperson to them. Next time maybe actually read the article before opening your mouth and demonstrating your stupidity.

The link you quoted is to a Racer.com story written by Stephen Kilbey, I missed the part where MP ripped off somebodies story?
