Ep. 16 | DS TECHEETAH's Mark Preston Talks Dominance in Formula E Motorsports

from Moore's Lobby: Where engineers talk all about circuits · host Dave Finch

What does it take for a motorsport team to win five Formula E championships? And how do automotive companies translate that success into the electric vehicles we drive every day? We're kicking off Season 2 of Moore's Lobby with a guest who will be familiar to motorsports fans across Formula 1 and its electric vehicle counterpart, Formula E.  Motorsports are the ultimate proving ground for automotive technologies. When it comes to electric vehicles, no prototyping in the world can match the rigor—and the excitement—of a Formula E race.  Learn about crucial power design aspects in Formula E, including why the engineers have evolved towards using direct drive motors and one battery rather than two. And did you know that the cars must regenerate around 30% of the energy used during a race through regenerative braking, etc.? And that the drivers must trigger it manually at key moments? Hear the details from an expert who has made a career out of blazing trails.
