A highlight in 2020: The eRod at the slalom race in Röthis

One of the highlights this year was our successful racers, Jenny and Flo. They competed in the Drytech slalom race in Röthis (AT) on 25 July with two eRods.
The eRod was convincing at the race. We didn't have a single failure and the battery lasted until the end. Meanwhile, many of the cars with combustion engines repeatedly struggled with overheating and other problems.

Jenny and Flo drove excellent times, and in the end, Flo took 1st place in our category. We were particularly pleased that they were a lot faster than the Teslas in the group, which have around 400 hp more under the bonnet.

The race in Röthis was part of the Drytech Race Cup. This cup consists of several races that take place throughout the year at different locations in Austria. Next year, Jenny and Flo will compete in these races as an official eRod race team.
We'll keep you updated when the first races will take place...

Good to know:

In slalom racing, a course, which is usually marked out with pylons, is run at least twice. Knocking over or moving a gate limit gives a 10-second penalty. Driving through a gate from the wrong direction or not in the prescribed order: 30 seconds. Skipping a gate and not passing through it by turning around in the prescribed direction will not be scored. Scoring will be based on time, including any penalty seconds. If two drivers have the same time, the time of the last run decides.
