Not sure if mentioned on some of the other stations' tv coveage, but on Top Gear last week, they said the Odyssey 21 had a range of only 10 miles between charging.
I think they said that the course today was 2 laps of 8.8km which is circa 11 miles.
Not much different than reported, but still 10% more, so the cars must have a longer range to cope with 2 laps in those conditions.

Also, I note that a lot of the interviews after the 2nd qualifying round mentioned there was less power on the 2nd run
Why could that be?

Not meant as a negative, just a couple of observations.

Looking forward to the different format tomorrow, but although today was of interest, mostly due to AFC involvement, not sure I would watch the qualifying in the next rounds. The novelty wore off a little bit along with the 'samey' tv reporting/comments made for every driver on each run (bbc red button coverage). Impressive driving skills, no doubt though.
I would rather see any behind the scenes pieces on everything 'ExtremeE' (not just AFC), tbh (and a slew of RNS's announcing signed deals on the back of the series, of course!).

Watching on bbc red button.
And they're off !!

Sadly, no credit from me, as you wern't right, Phat.
Firstly, you said 70p was guaranteed by the end of the week, claiming that you are always right.
The next day you changed that forecast to "90p being easily achieved" by the end of the week, before changing back to 70p during the day yeserday. when it was clear this was more likely. Finally upping that to 70p plus as your last gambit.

Maybe only out by a bit in the end, but claiming now to have got it right (you weren't), bragging about always being right (clearly not), and then coming back to beg for likes/acknowledgement after the event, just for being close, shows you up as an 'I called it merchant'.

Many posters across the week predicted Saudi deals around this racing window too, so not exactly a scoop, or even unexpected for many here.

A harsh reply, perhaps, but then you did ask for comments.
In summary, Phat is NOT always right.
Filtered for me now.
Enjoy the long weekend all

SP just seems to have been a bit range-bound over the past month and volumes have been pretty low since the App launch RNS back in mid-Feb.
No problem for me just now, news will come in time.
Have scraped together some last minute ISA alllowance money for this year to make 2 small top ups yesterday and today. Happy to sit tight and hold as further additions unlikely for me in the short term

Maybe we will see his (Phat's) 70p by end of week prediction from his post yesterday morning after all, although this morning he is now saying 90p by the end of the week, and £2 if a deal signed!
My new barometer for AFC.
It's like Paul the octopus all over again

Oktane,
Of course past performance should be a consideration.
But for me, and as I have stated many times over the past 18 motnhs or so, I could not care less about Brockham, Balcombe, Lidsey.
Yes, they are still 'assets' on the books, but as Baits said, they were all under Vonk, and I have made my investment decisions here drawing a line under those.
I have always seen the 'new' bod and company direction as post-Brockham, and will judge them on SF alone. And on this, you will see from my history that this view has changed in the past 2 months (specifically since the end of Jan RNS on the delays to funding).

It has always been only about SF for me, ever since the project was announced.
I held after Brockham to see what this was about, and have stayed (and increased my holding) for SF only. Nothing else.
That is not 'taking a punt', imo, and many others seems to have the same view.

If (IF), anything comes of Brockham, Balcombe and Lidsey, then that is a bonus for me.
Focus should be on SF and completing the funding.

To add, I also could not care less about geothermal and all the new plans under consideration. They are getting in the way, and seem a distraction (smokescreen?) for the funding which is becoming a concern, as they seem to be getting pushed to the fore.

Get the funding sorted, get on wirth SF.
I will be long gone once SF starts producing, altough my expectation was that it would be Q4, or Jan at the latest, so the timeline is hugely disappointing (comparable with the past, so recognising past performance in respect of delivery and timeframes).

I have my own timelines for action here regarding my investment, starting with the funding news.
Of course there is no guarantee on anything. This is AIM. I know that, as do many, hence it being high risk. I am aware of the risks, and invested accordingly. My decisisions, and I will take full responsibility for it, whichever way it goes.
I have invested only what I can afford to lose here, as I do everywhere else.

Ailie,
I am more interested in PhatStyle's prediction from this morning: "70p will be here by the end of the week, all in my opinion but Phat is always right"

Anyone who talks about themself in the 3rd person and says that they are always right has to be taken seriously :-)
Plus, the end of the week is on Thursday due to the Easter break, so a bonus result is that we will see 70p a day early too!

gla

It was never going to hit the 50's, or even high 40's to be fair with this update, welcome though it is.
More good news, and progress towards the goal (one of them) here, but any large SP moves will be purely down to numbers now, or something of real significance.
Volumes seem low so far too for any substantial SP move, imo.
Happy with some SP stability and will take any small rises until significant news lands
gla

copland,
I was in a similar situation.
After more than 2 years of 'nothing' (compared to the Jan 2019 drilling plan), and the continual SP slide. I took the decision to sell out back in Jan as there didn't seem to be anything on the horizon any time soon to get behind.
Hugely disappointed that I did not do so when it hit the 30's last summer, taking 'only' 0.145p for a near 90% loss.

Still happy with my decision though.
Just looking in as this previously saved page opened in a new window after a reboot. Not planninig to make a habit of posting here, as a non-holder, and certainly not looking for a 'cheap' entry point back in.
Hope there is some good news for the long-suffering LTH's soon to reverse the fortunes here.

Good post, TheT.

The best possible 'advert' for AFC is for the tech to be proven to work, do what it has been commissioned to do over the course of the ExtremeE series.
Those (potential buyers, collaborators, etc) in the know will be watching and waiting to see the tech working in a real-world situation (hopefully, with pens at the ready), and I am sure AB and co will have meetings lined up already at each event, and opportunities to add more fact to face talks with suitable 'industry types' as the series goes on.

At this stage, the above is far more valuable to AFC than any other form of 'paid for' advertising, although I am sure there will be some visibility too on race days, and any behind the scenes pieces picked up by the tv channels.

As another posted commented too, I am excited for this series, and not really a fan of motorsport at all.
5 days to go

Progress, at least.
But how long until signed & sealed?
SP action today will be interesting.

Plenty of visible advertising for Alipay during the England coverage on tv.
A good opportunity with no fans in currently, both with the static adverts across the stand seating, as well as the usual scrolling electronic ads.
A much better option than team sponsorship, imo.
What audience reach is the game getting, must be upwards of 8-10m in the UK alone, plus worrldwide figures?

Don't forget it is a short week too, with the markets being closed on Friday and the following Monday for Easter, meaning this short week is also the last week of the current tax year

Nice spot. Tks Newboy

All my adverts are for tents, head torches, hemp clothing and compost toilets :-)

Hi Marc2,
CUSN is UK listed, so no.
I am assuming the NR301 (from a quick google search) is similar to the W-8Ben for U.S. stocks.
My understanding is that this form would only be needed if you were looking to buy the CAD listing.

maddog,
It may be 'movng up' today, but the SP has been sat in a 70p to 80p range (mid) for 3 weeks now, up one day, down the next.
There have only been 4 'reasonable' volume days since the 51m volume on 1st Feb, and these have all been only in the 17m to 23m ballpark, so not really anything to get excited about.
Any moves are pretty meaningless at the moment, and it will only move out of this range, imo, on funding news (or the expectation/leaking of funding news) which will create the volumes needed for any decent move.

The big question is, when will this news finally drop, and will the resultant SP move be up, or down?

Maybe AB is using his 'jolly' to meet with potential buyers so that they can see the performance first hand, and shake on some deals?

Yes Amt.
I was the same with ARB in Jan. Waited for it to drop to 100 (when recommended at 115). Waited some more as it dropped quickly into in the 90's and on into 80's and 70's. Decided to only add if it hit the 60's, and then in a few weeks it had rocketed to a high over 300 (and now 30% lower). All in just 10 weeks!

Too volatile a play for me, so probably wouldn't have jumped in anyway.
Much happier here with less risk (imo) and better potential of reward through growth over the long term.

5% of my portfolio here now (ave 55), and happy to sit and wait with my current holding, although I have some dividends due in April/May which I will possibly allocate here depending on any updates (and the SP) in the interim.

Another good update.
It looks like an important set of hiring to complete the staffing requirements across the company for growth.
A wealth of experience coming on board, and an impressive looking CV for Dr Biswal
