Just an FYI.

I think you have misunderstood what I was saying. A 4200 shorty pack is not high enough capacity for 10.5, it would drop off too much in a run. In a year's time technology will have moved on and it will almost certainly be possible to get a shorty pack with 5000 or more. In the UK cells are approved on a yearly basis and no shorty packs are approved for this season, so we would have to wait until next year to run the packs anyway.

Because of this we would not be able to run shorty packs in the UK for the coming season, and would have to run standard packs. As far as I can see it is not possible to run standard packs in an inline configuration, but I'll be happy to be proved wrong. Because of this we would have to use standard configuration.
