Hello fellow Evolocity members,
It came to my attention that in the EV categories 2020 document that the gymkhana and street circuits had been merged. Personally, I find this decision unfavourable, as in my experience with the event, the gymkhana event like a slower, less exciting version of the street circuit, and I believe merging them together would take the perfectly fine street circuit, and makes it less fun and exciting. I was also hoping for a new event, especially as they were asking for suggestions. Maybe they could leave the street circuit alone and replace the gymkhana with a nice speedy one such as a race or time trial around the track. This would incorporate speed, cornering and agility, and would test the vehicles, and the drivers skills to the limit. I understand that there would be health and safety concerns, however I truly believe that we could work around them to have an event that is safe, exciting, and fun for everybody involved.
However I would like to hear your opinions on the matter.
Thank you

My teammates and I agree with this, gymkhana adds unneeded stress on race day and requires vehicle modifications that affect a vehicle's performance in other events. For example, a fairing having to come off so the driver can reach out and grab the batons, or the front track width being small enough for drivers to get close enough to the buckets. A big long race would be very nice.

I think that the idea of having the events together would make the event very bad and dangerous as people will have small carts to do this and people will hert them self

I would have to agree that I didn't have much fun on the gymkhana event either, and I really like the idea of a time trial or race style event replacing it.

Hi, think a time trial event would be good idea, give each team one chance to do as section of the track as fast as they can. this could just be one challenging section of the track and could be run at the same time as the drag race. This would ensure that no two bikes or carts are on the track at one time, since multiply bacchanals at full speed and on a racing line would result in safety problems. I also think the rolling resistance test should be brought back, have a ramp that can be moved from event to event. The bike/cart would back up onto the ramp hold the brakes until ready and see how far they could do.
