This would lead to less practice time and the F24 members disadvantaged due ending up further down the starting grid and possibly starting after the race start if things didn't go well. We would have to change the gear after the practice session (practice by F24 members was a high priority) and then after the F24+ race ready for the F24 race. However gear changes did take quite a time and would have to be done under quite tight time constraints. Unfortunately the amount of travel on the chain adjustment was not enough to handle the big change in gear needed but it was modified to cope. With our fixed gear drive in RR8 we had to change the motor cog. The typical way would be to change the cars gearing so that it would go faster with the higher average current available.

One of the challenges was how to use the additional power that F24+ provided due to the shorter race times per set of batteries. The older lads would design the new RR9 car while the F24 people would do the work needed to get RR8 suitable for competing in F24+ alongside F24 as well as modify it for the 2012 rules. So a deal was struck between the older three lads and the newer and younger F24 team members. We were about to build a new car for F24 and building two cars at the same time and managing them during the year was not a possibility due to finance and time. the older RR pupils had reached 17 and wanted to continue doing GP in the F24+ challenge.
