The greenspeed HPV 'flat naka' test session
Photos from our test session in the new Greenspeed HPV for the Wonthaggi HPV grand prix 24 hour this w'end. http://www.aboc.com.au/images/galler...0322-hpv-test/ The pilot is my housemate vanders. It's a full spaceframe with a corflute fairing, and weighs just under 20kg (very light for this type of HPV, last time I raced one of these it was 32kg ...). This one handles amazingly well, and even has, for fruit, SRM cranks. I clocked 1060 watts on a test drag down the carpark at the back of the workshop. Paul Simms from Greenspeed has done a great job with the chassis. Issues, for little people, none, but for big fat lazy sprinters, the chain guard rubs my right calf (may not sound like a big deal, but after just 5 mins, my right calf was glowing red and the first layer of skin was gone, this -must- be fixed by raceday!) and it's very narrow inside, my quads rub the steering arms, which may become an issue after an hour in the beast. It's heaps -heaps- better than the carbon creation we raced in '05, images here : http://www.aboc.com.au/images/galler...0319-wonth-hpv (some of you may recognise Hippy in some of these shots) |
