At a battery level it’s very doable — and certainly not as extreme as in most racing applications — it’s just a bunch of trade-offs.

Tyres are almost certainly the limiting factor here; also I forget how close to the (admittedly banked) turn it was when it hit its top speed.

Motor output, so you’ll still have transmission loses beyond that (but with a fixed drivetrain, with no multi-speed gearbox, quite possibly more like 95%).

How close are the GNU coreutils with the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable set? I wouldn't be surprised if there were still patches required, but at least on the face of it that should get you most of the way there.

To some extent, it's cases like this which show the real fragility of everything existing as a unified whole in google3. While clearly maintenance and ownership is still a major problem, one could easily imagine deploying something sim

iTIP (RFC 5546) / iMIP (RFC 6047) are a standard for sending and responding to calendar invites, implemented on top of email. Certainly some implementations are pretty poor, but in theory this is all standardised.
