That's why the parachute!
See? I was thinking ahead!
It might require some custom software. With the lack of weight, though the batteries will add some, I worry that (even with all wheel drive) it'd sit there roasting tires off it instead of going down the strip. But, that should be overcome with some testing. Probably ought to do that testing at a drag strip while nobody is there.
There's so little mass for the wheels that it'd be insane. One of the biggest losses in torque are getting the tire/wheel's mass spinning up to speed. That's why Koenigsegg makes their wheels out of carbon fiber. Well, these tires are also really light - even with motors on all four corners.
With the battery mass AND a human inside, it might be okay.
or build up speed a little slower
That's what we'll have to look at doing in software. Ain't no way a human's foot will exceed the ability of software.
I don't even care if I win. Hell, I'd probably sign up as exhibition just to ensure I didn't win - unless they had a specific class that I felt suited the tech and my abilities.
How could you not win?
