Team Bird Racing

Goodwood Motor Circuit + 80 electric cars built by students = The @Greenpowertrust Challenge! 🔋👏 This year @MulberryTH took on the challenge for the first time giving their students the chance to sharpen their STEM skills. ⚡

@MercedesAMGF1 @greenpower_team @Greenpowertrust @MulberryTH @wtf1official @TommyWTF1 @SkySportsF1 @McLarenF1 @redbullracing we know how drivers get to formula 1. But this is how the team members start their passion! So much more attention needed

@DawRacing top tip: don’t lift

Today we are riding with @CAUC_SHS to commemorate their inspirational teacher Mr G. An inspirational man and he will be sorely missed. @Greenpowertrust @Greenpowertrust

That Monday morning winning feeling!! Well done to @TeamBirdGP for their triumph in @greenpower_team yesterday at @MSV_BA Bedford Autodrome!! @MikeReadUK @Peter_pa_antony @ClaphamMOT

@pod_movement @greenpower_team @wealdgp We hope you know where you’re going

First @greenpower_team race this Sunday and our first race at Bedford Autodrome, thanks to @TeamBirdGP and @wealdgp for their Youtube videos to show us the way round. youtube.com/watch?v=ocoDyf… youtube.com/watch?v=qwFefs…

@pod_movement @Chainreactiongp @bexhillmuseum @greenpower_team @RotaryRacerGP @RenishawGP That is 42 laps of Goodwood, FireBird needs to go 10 mph faster than its last run there. So more torque is required from motor and lithium ions would be a smart upgrade to suit. I reckon we could beat this with only those 2 changes. But will our driver enjoy 2 hours of that 🤔

@Chainreactiongp @bexhillmuseum @greenpower_team In 1988 this car got the under 500kg 100mile record at 47.5mph (with no solar). Top @greenpower_team cars are achieving 33mph average over 34miles. Surely with extra gearing and with extra batteries someone could take it. What about it @TeamBirdGP @RotaryRacerGP @RenishawGP

Just found this in @bexhillmuseum 1990 school kids built this and set a record 106mph in an electric car @pod_movement @greenpower_team

@F4HSuperGT @IndyCaronNBC @RvBuren @FRosenqvist It’s not pleasant but the new GoPro mounting position gives the same effect in club100 karts

@IndyCaronNBC @RvBuren @FRosenqvist Is it just me or is the constantly turning camera hard to watch?

.@FRosenqvist to the lead! #INDYCAR // #REVGROUPGP

@pod_movement @greenpower_team We did, not sure why they changed the direction though

Just noticed that our photos show the cars going anti-clockwise at Dunsfold, did we go round the other way in 2011 @greenpower_team

You're still liking our event reminiscing tweets, so lets do another. On 26th June 2011 we were at the @greenpower_team Dunsfold event with our new car By-POD (still unpainted) which was 4th in F24 with 96.7miles (124 laps in 4 hours) and R-PodS which was 2nd in F24+

@rgshwGreenpower Chances on adding Firebird into this

Instructions on how to install and best utilise the modpack are also on the discord. Any feedback is more than welcome, we hope teams find this tool useful! 3/3

Our Assetto Corsa Greenpower modpack has just been released! You can find the link to download it on the Greenpower Community discord in the channel "modpack". This tool should allow teams to improve their driving and become more confident on track. 1/3 @greenpower_team @rgshw

@Stealth_Racing @rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw Must be for the F24+ teams only 😂

@TeamBirdGP @rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw That'll depend on what age rating the simulator has.

Who did it better??? Thanks @TeamBirdGP for the video, the cone placement would have been an even bigger nightmare without it! @greenpower_team @rgshw

@Stealth_Racing @rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw But does the drivers behind touch the ground 🤷🏼‍♂️

@TeamBirdGP @rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw Don't worry, I'm sure they will put in a 'floor falling off' option in for my car in the menu somewhere....

@rgshwGreenpower @Stealth_Racing @greenpower_team @rgshw Can confirm it is supposed to be square..

@Stealth_Racing @TeamBirdGP @greenpower_team @rgshw Would it be Dunsfold without it? I did have to add it in, but its there... lurking

@Stealth_Racing @rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw

@rgshwGreenpower @TeamBirdGP @greenpower_team @rgshw I hope the 'drain cover' is modeled in for extra realism. It's looking awesome though!

@rgshwGreenpower @greenpower_team @rgshw I hope you’re not using our lines as a reference... But the track looks ready, great job!

@DtRudd @greenpower_team So pleased to see that the Greenpower Exchane Facebook page is bringing sellers and buyers together. facebook.com/groups/Greenpo…

@rgshwGreenpower @BanchoryGreenp1 @PSEM_Portugal The driver needs less space than they ask for... or atleast we always give them less

@BanchoryGreenp1 @PSEM_Portugal The trick is to have a 500mm track completely faired and then you have the best of both worlds. The increase in frontal area with 500mm track is minimal given you can’t reasonably fit a driver in anything less than ~400mm wide.

The Aerodynamics Dept. works hard to reduce drag as much as possible to improve the performance of our car. The frontal area is the area of the vehicle seen from the front and the drag coefficient is dependent on the geometry of the body. GP19’s drag is twice as low as GP17’s!

@TeamBirdGP @pod_movement

Our newest sponsor, SMB Bearings, came on board for this season. With all the talk about what might be best (@pod_movement), we’re diving in to test the highest quality bearings on track. Hopefully we’ll know what type to run soon but stay tuned for our results!

@rgshwGreenpower @pod_movement Yes 😉

@TeamBirdGP @pod_movement Changing to full ceramic or hybrid? 🧐
