In it, Pauls Timrots starts a new project with the aim of constructing a unique vehicle that will reach the finish line of the Talsi Soapbox Rally this summer. There are few jokes in the dull descent, because the technical regulations stipulate that the vehicle does not have an engine, and its parameters and weight are also important - 80 kilograms without a driver. Pauls' intentions are also serious, because he wants to create a winning car. It must be able to climb a hill, cope with jumps and bends, and accordingly, both steering and brakes are needed. To achieve his goal, Pauls goes to automotive professionals. Harijs Šķupelis, the founder of HGK, is skeptical, but recommends equipping the car with shock absorbers, because they will ensure a landing. Meanwhile, Artūrs Priednieks, the head of the SRT Dakar squad, believes that the event should be approached seriously and is enthusiastic about the idea - research and drawings are needed, because the priority is the chassis, not the design. Paul's path then leads to the Twitterconvoy headquarters, where, together with VR Cars representative Ali Jansons, he is already working on the first sketches of a vehicle that could be a distant relative of the Roman chariot. There are many ideas, but we will explain how to connect them all in the next episodes of the show!
