KERS Kels 350z Gets F1 DRS (Drag Reduction System) - A Deep Dive
updated
The track really feels like something straight out of Gran Turismo - a mix between Grand Valley Speedway and Trial Mountain.
Our Euro 2022 Model 3, equipped with most of the MPP catalog, as well as our good friend Christopher from France, made the journey for Grip Spain's lapping and time attack.
The organizers were fantastic, and we have to thank them for allowing us to attend the event and being so welcoming. So far I have to say that events run in Spain are at the same level, or exceed the level of North American events - even though they are operating in a smaller market. The passion really fuels them to do such a great job with everything!
The top 3 cars in Unlimited were all within 1 tenth of a second - it was a tight battle and I believe everyone went faster than last year's best times!
Learn more about the series here: instagram.com/gripspain
And you can see more of Christopher's awesome Model 3 here: instagram.com/x_t_o_pista
This video was put together by Christopher's friend from Delta Force Vision - thank you very much Amin! The drone shots really give you an idea of how cool this track is. instagram.com/deltaforcevision
Not to worry, we've been helping to create a series where you can have close battles with other similarly built Model 3's without needing a cage, trailer and tow vehicle.
Our unique format is perfectly suited to the Model 3, and we couldn't have found a better event partner to work with than Gridlife. Competing in the Model 3 Challenge with Gridlife means you'll be showing thousands of spectators how exciting, fun, and easy life is with an electric vehicle.

Our hybird-electric KERS Kels is finally starting to get a little bit more refined, running for two events without any major issues. We'll keep fine-tuning until the car is dialed in.
The fastest lap here was a 1:10.9 with the hybrid system at 40hp. So not as fast as Kels has gone before, but +200lbs will do that to you. Surely with the hybrid system turned up and some weight reduction we should be able to beat our previous best of a 1:09.3, which was set on sticker tires in cool conditions.

KERS Kels did a great job and had almost no issues, despite having a new engine, wiring harnesses, inverter, 4-wheel steering, and new bodywork.
The Model 3's ran like a top both days, and in partnership with Gridlife we announced a new way to have fun with your Model 3 on the racetrack - visit Model3Challenge.racing to learn more.

We were at the track to meet our friend Igor, as he was attempting to set a lap record at TMP with a race-equipped Model 3.
Igor made a good point - we've never actually "gone for it" with our Model 3 at TMP, so this was a good excuse to see how quickly we could go with our 100% street setup!
Thankfully we were able to keep the home track record in Canada for now, but we'll need to equip some slicks sooner than later if we want to hold on to it! It's nice to have some competition coming up to TMP!
Igor did a 1:15.6 or so, which is still very impressive even on slicks as there are many much lighter time attack cars on slicks that are in the 1:14s or 1:15s.

The car is so incredibly fun to drive now - with Track Mode the car is allowed to put the power down aggressively and it's a joy to try to control the 1000hp on tap coming out of each corner. What a beast!
As far as we know, no car has ever gone this fast on a standard street tire (non R-Compound or racing slick). It's impressive because there is still more in it, and this is a relatively small and tight track.
TeamPGR will be picking the car up shortly, and we'll continue our testing down south in preparation for One Lap Of America 2022. Wish us luck!

Unfortunately, the party came to an end when a near wreck at 130mph left us feeling like we should call it a day. Whether it was a little bit too aggressive setup, an alignment shift, or a slightly overheated left rear tire we will have to figure out. All we know at this moment is that Kels is normally 100% stable on high-speed corner entry, and towards the end of the video you'll see - she very much was not! Enjoy!
A 1:16.9 is on track with the fastest GT cars in the world, and is only a few tenths away from IMSA GTD pole here. With some refinement, a 1:15 isn't an unreasonable goal for 2021!

We believe this is the first privateer hybrid electric racecar build in the world, but if it's not it's for sure the best sounding.
Enjoy the sweet sounds of Kels, with a background soundtrack of Xtrac gear whine, 400V motor noises, and traction control burble.
There's also a good bit of sliding around as some software bugs were causing the regen to suddenly activate mid-corner, adding 75 horsepower of regen suddenly will throw Kels into a pretty nice slide!

We were concerned about how the Dynapack would interact with an AWD car that did not have the front and rear wheels mechanically connected, but that turned out to be the least of our concerns as the massive amount of torque at low speeds was maxing out the front dyno pods!
We tested the car at various states of charge, we have been noticing a difference with the SOC to power output ratio between the different Model 3's.

Some of them had never been in an electric car before, so it was nice to see their expressions after seeing how capable and fun these cars on track, and a little sliding around didn't hurt :)

If you enjoyed this video don't hesitate to subscribe! We've got a ton of interesting development planned in the coming future and Instagram and YouTube is the best way to stay up to date on what we're working on.
GT2 cars of that day had a top speed around 150mph on the back straight and were not allow aggressive aerodynamics. At that time they still have special tires that could not be purchased by the public. The cars were factory built and designed to compete with one another.
It's been 11 years and Kels has come from a stock-bodied Koni Challenge GS car to what you might consider a real GT3 car now. The car has a sequential gearbox, 500whp, a flat-floor and diffuser, race ABS, and big sticky tires. While we don't have even a fraction of the budget or resources of a manufacturer, Kels shows that with enough time and effort it's not impossible to get close to the factory's level of performance.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing sponsors and suppliers. Jim Wolf Technology are the ones responsible for this incredible engine, MoTeC has the most impressive motorsport electronics in the world. Without partners of this caliber, we would, of course, be nowhere near the current speed!
Way to go Kels, you did it.
Right out of the box the car did a 1:09.2 in the morning practice session. The condition of the track was poorer for the actual time attack - and the best I could muster was a 1:10.0 - but still enough to reset the Unlimited RWD lap record by 2.8 seconds!
For perspective, Pfaff's World Challenge GT Porsche 991 GT3R did a mid 1:08 last year with the restrictors and ballast weight pulled out, with a pro driver.
I can't thank everyone that has supported this program enough, including the guys that have come on weekends and to the track to help bring my dream of a home built GT3 car to reality. We're not there yet, but Kels is getting closer all the time!

Let's throw it on the dyno and see just how comparable it is to our Long Range RWD Model 3, and speculate about where the differences come from.
Enjoy, and take a moment to watch the Long Range Model 3 dyno video here if you haven't already seen it.

EVN Rentals had this incredible E92 M3 available for rent, which has GT4 brakes, a nice splitter and wing, titanium exhaust, and big Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's. The closest possible car to Kels, that was no doubt the car to rent. Check them out here - they are awesome guys:

Of course, none of the simulators or video could possibly tell you how insane this track is in real life. Even in my wildest imagination, I would have never imagined it would be as intense and incredible as it was. What an insane honor. I'm at a total loss for words.
Watch as we climb over 270km/h and corner well over 260km/h attacking the Green Hell in under 8 minutes, even with a great deal of traffic.

Unfortunately, we had an alternator failure, poor driving, traffic and a failed strain gauge (requiring lifts for each shift) on this run. However, since the tires were brand new this would still be the best lap of the weekend.
Enjoy the sound and live MoTeC data overlay as I attempt to tame Kels. Gridlife was a blast - thanks to all who organized it.
And of course a huge thank you to everyone involved in this program, including Jim Wolf Technology with this incredible engine, MoTeC for the best electronics around, and all of our other great supporters.
NEVER.STOP.TUNING
Watch the video to hear how it all played out. It seems every event we compete in we get protested, so it must mean EV’s are threatening the norm. This is the future my friends. Embrace it.

The car is beyond anything we've ever driven before. It's amazing that this is effectively the base model vehicle. It smashed the CSCS Production RWD lap record (unofficially) by 1.4 seconds, it slides like a weapon even with an open diff (how is that possible?) and it is the ultimate comfortable enjoyable daily driver. It's also our mobile office.
This my friends, is The Future.

What a fun machine. We make up for the lack of sound by blasting 80's music while ripping. What better to get you in the mood?

We'll have a full video coming in the next few days, along with a write-up of our adventure. What's important to know right now is that these cars are awesome, super fun to drive and very fast.
Thanks to One Lap Kings for the footage and edit, and GridLife for hosting such an incredible grassroots event. Haven't met these many great people all in one place in a very long time.

After a bit of fussing around tricking the traction control system, the Model 3 with an 80% charge put down 340whp and about the same amount of torque. The X-Axis displays the motor RPM, and torque displayed is torque at the motor, not at the wheels.
Stay tuned, in the next few days we will be posting videos as we perform more baseline measurements, data collection and tests on our new Model 3, followed by the installation of our Mountain Pass Performance coilovers, suspension arms and big brake upgrade!

We couldn't be more excited to start tuning on this platform. The car out of the box is incredible, and we've been able to make the car look better and handle even better with suspension technology by KW, and our upgraded suspension arms that remove the soft, cheap rubber bushings from rear toe and camber arms and replace them with booted and greased sealed spherical bearings.
We welcome the new age of tuning with open arms. Thanks to everyone that has supported us on our journey so far, and thanks to One Lap Kings for covering this journey.
