Activity Overview
NASCAR cars run on gas and a team’s fuel strategy on race day can be a huge factor on winning versus losing. The T80SRC car, on the other hand, is an electric car; so as the fuel drains, its performance worsens. T80SRC teams also have to devise a fuel strategy. For example, when should you do a pit stop to replace the battery or should you simply add two batteries to the car? This lesson will explore the drain on the battery of a car through various means.
