At Grid Life's Tesla Model 3 Challenge, power is dialed down by 30% for consistent performance, making these electric beasts a joy to drive both on the street and the track. Through clever software tweaks, these Teslas are finely tuned to deliver precise power levels, ensuring a level playing field for all competitors. Upgrades like coilovers, Stop Tech brakes, MPP wheels, and RE71 RS tires transform these street cars into track-ready machines without sacrificing comfort for daily driving. The addition of a new MPP seat further enhances the driving experience, making these modified Teslas a force to be reckoned with on the tarmac.
The challenge format at Grid Life allows street cars to compete on the track without the need for extensive race car modifications, bringing a unique blend of competition and accessibility to the racing scene. With a passing system triggered by a detection zone, drivers engage in thrilling battles on the track, showcasing the capabilities of these tuned Teslas. The all-wheel-drive system in the Model 3 offers a balanced performance, with rear-wheel-drive variants slightly lighter than their all-wheel-drive counterparts, creating an intriguing dynamic on the racing circuit.
Tuned to around 295 horsepower, these Teslas provide ample power for competitive racing, with the Tesla system allowing for adjustments to stability and traction control, akin to tweaking an internal combustion car's ECU. The challenge aims to level the playing field among cars with varying modifications and tires, ensuring an exciting and fair competition for all participants. With a focus on performance, precision, and the thrill of racing, the Tesla Model 3 Challenge at Grid Life showcases the potential of electric vehicles in the world of motorsport, setting the stage for an electrifying racing experience like no other.
