Testing? hmm...maybe not

Right after yesterday's update we prepped the car today and fitted the "plug-and-play" g-sensor.

However, we tried starting car this evening and even after warming engine up to over 30 degrees it still wouldnt start and sounded very "weak" and didnt sound anywhere near close to starting.

Looking at the rpm, it only seemed to rev up to about 300-400rpm and as result not crank flywheel over fully.

Chris also noticed that battery voltage as dropping very low (9V) even when jump pack was on 3 which may explain the slow starter but no explanation atm for why voltage dropping. This combined with weather tomoz means probability to going testing is probably quite low but will still try.

Pass by tomorrow morning and you'll hopefully see an empty space where car usually is as its gone testing but more than likely it be in paddock with a few of us scratching heads.
