‘The Direct Drive Experiment’ – Insights Video

With his ‘The Direct Drive Experiment’ generating huge interest and online technical debates, Infinity team driver Jilles Groskamp has in response to the massive reaction to the ‘teaser video’ produced a second video regarding the unique four in-wheel drone motors powered IF14 Speciale.  In the second video the Electric and Nitro Touring Car World Champion goes into more detail about the car build and technology used and is joined by Hans who started the project over a year ago and who brought Groskamp onboard to bring things to the next stage.  While Groskamp answers questions regarding the drivability of the car, Hans gives a nice insight into the controlling of the motors and the creation of the software differential.  The big debate on Unsprung Weight is also addressed.  Watch the Insights Video here.
