Rec Room was a great place to work, but they had to lay off over half their staff, so I am looking for the next opportunity.
If you are looking for a senior graphics coder to solve all your rendering problems on any platform, either remote or in the Seattle area, I'd love to hear from you.
Picture is purely for attention, but I can drive pretty well.
@stonebear2 The problem is range. You end up with not much range, or you add more batteries and make a heavy Caterham, which... the whole point of a Caterham is that it's light!
This is doubly true since a lot of Caterham owners want to take them to the track - because they're absolute weapons there. But now the range problem - which was "meh" on the road - is now absolutely atrocious.
Careful what you wish for, really.
Note that my race car does 14mpg AT FULL RACE PACE. So...
@TomF On this side of the pond, range isn't nearly as much a problem as it could be. If you're going more than 100 miles it's faster to take the train anyway... Pop down to the beach? Take the 7E. Pop down to Paris? Eurostar. Den Haag to Utrecht, or London to Brighton, yeah, okay, you may not get back without a charge, but at least south of the Channel charging stations are in a lot of places, and if you're going to the beach, you're gonna stay long enough to charge to get back...
If I'm gonna put it on the track, I'll do what the LeMans people do, make it a hybrid. Charge the bats with regen into the corner, and then ALL THE TORQUE out of it... for all that you could just make the "batteries" some big damn carbon fibre _capacitors_...
But no, I'm not looking for warp speed, I'm looking for holeshot and slot-car cornering.... and a car that just _looks_ really bl---y cool. (Not a snowball's chance I'd score KAR-120C for a number plate, though. No way.)
Be seeing you.... ;)
