We are really looking forward to meeting you all in Sepang next week.
A few last tips from the technical team:
· Please ensure that you bring a printed copy of your fuel system diagram and electrical system diagram for the technical inspection
· For hydrogen teams, do bring any documentation on piping/connections to demonstrate that it is hydrogen compatible. Also bring documentation on your fuel cell (stack area, specifications, voltage, power), super capacitors (voltage, power rating). Please bring your flow meter to the hydrogen team (Garage 20) for calibration immediately upon arrival. If you bring your own hydrogen cylinders, these should be surrendered to the hydrogen team too (it’s best not to bring any of your own hydrogen along)
· If your driver is under-weight please bring some ballast
· Please ensure the safety items below:
Critical safety items:
· Please bring the necessary personal protective equipment for your work (gloves, safety glasses, etc)
· Please consider good ventilation and drinking bottle for the driver as it will be very, very hot.
· The roll bar should be a solid immovable roll bar that is strong enough to protect the driver in the event of a roll over. This needs to be 5cm above the driver’s helmet. It should be able stand 70 kgf in any direction.
· There should be no gaps between the bulkhead and the vehicle body/cover.
· Brakes must work well.
· Safety belts must be firmly attached to the vehicle chassis. Often the weakest point is the connection.
· NOTE: Unsafe cars will not be allowed on track
Materials:
· If you are unable to send your car batteries, please advise Mark Devan soonest so that we can try and source this for you in advance.
· Fire extinguishers will be provided for all vehicles.
· Engine oil will be provided for all internal combustion vehicles
· Tubing for fuels will be available in the technical garage
· Fuels will be available in the technical garage
Welding:
· We are trying to have welding equipment on site. If you have any specific welding requirements (e.g. TIG welding), please also advise Mark Devan
Good luck, and have a good and safe trip to Sepang.
