Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, provides a unique set of challenges that few other locations can match. The combination of its iconic flat top and the winding, steep access roads makes it a premier destination for altitude and incline testing.

The "Whipping" began in earnest on the hair-pin turns of Platteklip Gorge's lower reaches. The test drivers engaged in aggressive "snapping" maneuvers, forcing the electronic stability control to intervene repeatedly. Data logs from the day show that the FCV 096 managed to keep its center of gravity remarkably low, a testament to the strategic placement of the heavy hydrogen tanks along the base of the frame. The Full Experience: Data and Results

The footage and data gathered from the Nuwest FCV 096 Whipping Day at Table Mountain have become a staple in automotive engineering courses. It serves as a proof of concept that green technology can survive the most "violent" testing protocols devised by man and nature.
