FIVEO1, PO Box 312786, Avalon, California 90704
Project: FIVEO1 Atitlan Electric Grand Prix and Technology Showcase
Location: Atitlan Basin Node, 14.738704 N, -91.158384 W
Document Status: Draft for Public Review
Executive Summary
This proposal describes a temporary electric vehicle performance, technology, infrastructure, and telemetry demonstration event in the Atitlan Basin of Guatemala. The proposed route is a 24-kilometer mixed-surface closed-road circuit centered on Panajachel and nearby lakeside and mountain roads. The event is intended as a controlled engineering demonstration requiring road closures, emergency services coverage, environmental review, government authorization, participant licensing, insurance, and technical inspection. The proposal does not authorize permanent roadway changes, land acquisition, or unrestricted public access.
Purpose and Scope
The program is intended to evaluate electric vehicle acceleration, braking, handling, and energy deployment on steep terrain. It evaluates battery thermal behavior at altitude, regenerative braking performance, aerodynamic performance in reduced air density, high-voltage fast charging, grid interaction, energy storage integration, edge computing, telemetry systems, cybersecurity, road safety systems, emergency response capability, spectator separation, and evacuation planning.
Site and Geographic Information
The coordinate originally listed as 04.738704 N, -91.158384 W is corrected to 14.738704 N, -91.158384 W. This location is in the Panajachel lakefront area near Calle 15 de Febrero in Sololá Department, Guatemala. The coordinate is a planning reference only and requires confirmation through survey, cadastral records, and route safety analysis.
Panajachel is located on the northeastern shore of Lake Atitlán within a volcanic basin surrounded by the Atitlán, Tolimán, and San Pedro volcanoes. Elevation references commonly range from approximately 1,560 to 1,597 meters above sea level. The proposal uses 1,562 meters as the reference elevation for planning calculations.
The proposed route affects Panajachel, Santa Catarina Palopó, San Antonio Palopó, and the wider Sololá Department. Panajachel serves as the start and finish zone, pit area, and operations center. Santa Catarina Palopó forms part of the ascent section. San Antonio Palopó contains the technical mountain section. Departmental agencies are expected to support coordination of police, emergency services, roads, environmental reviews, and public safety.
The route consists of public roads, urban streets, residential areas, lakeside roadways, and mountain roads. Operation would require full temporary closure, controlled access, resident access management, emergency routes, barriers, fencing, marshal stations, debris control, spill prevention measures, weather controls, and independent engineering verification of all road characteristics.
Circuit Configuration
The start and finish location is the Panajachel Promenade at 14.738704 N, -91.158384 W.
Sector 1 is the Panajachel Urban and Waterfront Sprint with a length of 4.2 km and includes grid streets, waterfront roads, controlled intersections, and pit access.
Sector 2 is the Santa Catarina Ascent with a length of 6.8 km and an elevation gain of approximately 380 meters. It is characterized by continuous uphill operation and sustained power demand.
Sector 3 is the San Antonio Apex section with a length of 7.0 km. It includes approximately 22 blind or restricted-visibility hairpin turns and requires the highest level of safety controls.
Sector 4 is the Lakeside Return with a length of 6.0 km and is intended for controlled regenerative braking assessment during descent and rolling terrain operation.
The total route length is 24.0 km with approximately 420 meters of elevation gain and approximately 37 apex points. Maximum design speed is stated as 320 km/h subject to independent validation. Operation requires complete road closure and elimination of mixed traffic or uncontrolled pedestrian access.
A detailed survey is required to establish exact elevations, grades, corner radii, sightlines, road widths, pavement conditions, friction classifications, hazards, drainage structures, utility locations, runoff areas, recovery access points, and emergency response locations.
Altitude, Thermal, and Environmental Factors
The route elevation of approximately 1,562 meters results in lower air density than sea level. Standard atmosphere estimates indicate approximately 1.04 to 1.05 kg/m³ air density compared with approximately 1.225 kg/m³ at sea level. Actual conditions depend on weather, temperature, humidity, and time of day.
Lower air density reduces aerodynamic drag and aerodynamic downforce by approximately 15 percent at a given speed. Power required to overcome drag decreases, while aerodynamic grip decreases. Fan-generated downforce systems are governed by different operational factors.
Electric vehicles are not directly affected by altitude in the same manner as combustion engines, but cooling systems, thermal management, battery performance, inverter temperatures, tire behavior, and regenerative braking performance remain critical factors.
Battery management requirements include defining operating temperature ranges, regenerative braking limits, discharge limits, charging limits, cooldown requirements, derating thresholds, thermal runaway procedures, and emergency response protocols. Vehicles must remain within manufacturer limits at all times.
Regenerative braking capability depends on battery state of charge, battery temperature, voltage limits, motor and inverter capacity, and traction conditions. Vehicles must maintain charge headroom prior to descending sections and may require friction braking when regenerative braking capacity is unavailable.
Operational controls include descent speed limits, brake temperature monitoring, cooldown intervals, runoff areas, recovery capabilities, and weather-related operating restrictions.
Vehicle Requirements
Participants must provide approved tire specifications, load ratings, pressure ranges, temperature ranges, braking limits, suspension limits, ride height requirements, and inspection procedures. Low-clearance vehicles such as the Aspark Owl may be restricted from route segments that do not meet clearance requirements.
Operations must be suspended or modified for rain, standing water, poor visibility, extreme temperatures, excessive wind, lightning risk, poor air quality, or contaminated road surfaces.
Competitor and Technical Reference Vehicles
The document lists the Rimac Nevera R, Pininfarina Battista, Lotus Evija, Aspark Owl, McMurtry Speirling PURE, Yangwang U9 Xtreme, Drako Dragon, and Lucid Air Sapphire as reference vehicles. Specifications include reported horsepower, torque, battery capacities, motor configurations, charging capabilities, performance figures, dimensions, weight, aerodynamics, and operating considerations. Several figures require direct manufacturer confirmation before publication or contractual use.
Charging Power Classification
Reported charging capabilities vary by vehicle platform. Infrastructure planning includes allocation of high-power liquid-cooled charging stations, thermal management requirements, charging schedule management, compatibility reviews, charging safety controls, and utility coordination.
Simulation and Performance Projections
The lap time, maximum speed, battery temperature, and energy consumption values presented in the proposal are simulation outputs and not certified performance results. The estimates are based on assumptions involving vehicle mass, torque distribution, battery discharge rates, temperature, air density, road characteristics, and driver models. Validation requires manufacturer data and site-specific testing.
Legislative and Regulatory Provisions
Provision 101 authorizes temporary road closures for approved testing or demonstration activities subject to government approvals and public safety requirements.
Provision 102 authorizes temporary deployment of high-voltage charging infrastructure powered through combinations of grid power, hydroelectric generation, energy storage, and demand management systems, subject to engineering review and safety certification.
Provision 103 authorizes deployment of a private communications network for telemetry, timing, safety systems, and incident response, including cybersecurity, privacy, and data governance requirements.
Provision 104 requires independent inspection and certification of vehicles, charging systems, barriers, communications systems, medical capability, fire protection capability, recovery equipment, and route safety.
Provision 105 requires environmental protection measures, watershed safeguards, noise controls, waste management procedures, community engagement processes, and post-event restoration activities.
Provision 106 requires agreements governing ownership, access, retention, and protection of telemetry, operational, environmental, timing, and proprietary manufacturer data.
Environmental and Community Requirements
The project area lies within the Lake Atitlán watershed. Coordination would be required with AMSCLAE, environmental agencies, municipal governments, emergency services, and community representatives.
