Can I drive a full electric Jaguar I-Pace from the UK to the Nürburgring in Germany and, once there, will it be as fun on a lap of the Nordschleife as a 'proper' internal-combustion engined car? Watch and learn!
Dan, Thanks for your video. In my opinion, you are living the dream. Road tripping in an EV and walking 2-3 minutes to get a coffee or meal is the ideal way to travel. A short walk gets the blood flowing and makes your whole day better.
Thanks for sharing this "alien" experiance - well done. Next time around the ring why not take a full front cam tour? There are yet so many thing to learn in life ... and to enjoy.
Awesome work. Over the next 5 let alone 10 years, batteries will likely improve so much that the regen will be much more useful. Regen would be as strong as full acceleration. Even less use of the actual brake pads, or merely later lifting before a corner. The I-Pace itself has room for improvement, such a car will soon do not 4 but 6 laps at the same price.
I’ll ask - at the time of recording Dale was working closely with Jaguar as a development driver and the Ring Taxi driver, so was very close to the team. I’m sure his intel was good on that basis but I’ll see what I can dig up!
I've got the full lap I took the overtake clips from so could post that up; I'll see about perhaps doing a voiceover. You can also read about the trip on PistonHeads here: www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-britishcars/jaguar-i-pace-to-and-round-the-n-rburgring/41505
I will never take 5 years for those HPC chargers. Ionity should have chargers near the track. All those model 3 Performance / Porche Taycans and why not a I pace driver 😜 Soon a EV track day only ? Why not
