Re: Road America July

It all goes back to design. Why the cars were designed with so little space for a fuel cell mystifies me. I know, I know, size equals cost, but most comparable-cost Formula car technical regs (such as FF 1600, F1000) allow 41 liters max capacity (10.83 gal). Just a couple more gallons would make a huge difference. IMO the fuel bladder/fuel pump considerations are minor compared to the tiny space available for a fuel cell in the car.
