RMC-logo

Today, we had the honor to be interviewed by Jean-Jacques Bourdin of France, who has a reputation for making politians sweat and tumble verbaly during his national radio shows. You can listen to the show by clicking here for the RMC podcast. Our interview is at the last 7 minutes of the show, so you need to put the curser pretty much to the end of the podcast bar. And, yes, it is all in French!

Solar truck roof w flexcell Up until now, the tyres of endurance race cars were heated up to 70°C in small tents by a flow of hot air coming from a gas burning space heater. The resulting smell, fumes and noise polluted the surroundings and the whole system was a safety risk in the paddocks. Because of these reasons, such heating will be banned in the coming years by the rules of the Le Mans Series and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This is to the disliking of the teams, since a car on cold tyres will drift and may therefore be a safety concern for the other cars on the track. Hence the request from the Le Mans Series to come up with a « green » tyre heating system.
