Josh, you got PM

Hi dudes,
today i will let you know that the first video from our V10 is a quiet bad one.
But as long as we know that we had a mechanical problem with a cvd in the front we donīt care about this video.
The further tests with the V10 were much more satisfying, i think there are just a few things to check.

If you want to have a look there is a new video online at youtube,
search for "Shepherd Velox V10 in Gubbio"
This was the first run at the gubbio track in italy. Unfortanetly we didnīt have the traction we were looking for.
But for these circumstances we were really satisfied.

kind regards

Alex

The car's handling looks good. My only comment is that if you can please use a better camera. Its very hard to follow the car and distinguish it from the low-res. Thanks!

Thanks guys,
for the next time i will work on the resolution. The cam is ok, i only tried to compress the video as small as possible.
Maybe i will take the time to upload a bigger file with the better resolution.

Stay tuned, Josh and me will keep you up to date with the V10.

Hi there,
next update today, last week we went out for testing again in Gubbio and all worked fine and we are still happy with the car.
This weekend we have a national race for the north of germany and Martin is attending this race with the V10.
So this will be the first race with the car and after the first round of qualifying Martin did the TQ in 1:10 nearly 4 seconds ahead of the second driver.
Also Lars did a good run and did the TQ in 1:8 IC Track.
On sunday there should be 3 more rounds of qualifying, so we we will see whats going on.
I will keep you up to date on sunday.

Usually production cars are so much better than prototypes just in the plastics and revisions than the origional test cars. Not to mention when you actually have time to learn the proper set-ups and develope the car. Anyway, it's fun to have people like Stefan out there so you have good motivation...lol...
josh that car looks awesome on the track. good luck at the capitol classic.
