Hockenheim – Day 4

August 8th, 2009

It was the day of judging, judging, presenting, testing, presenting for the second time, sitting at the award ceremony and preparing for another day of judging.

For the one’s who’ve been at Formula Student events before don’t have to read the rest of the newsletter anymore since everything you want to know is already stated in the previous sentence. This is because experienced Formula Students know what is going on during days like these and know what it means that you have to present for a second time and what it means that you have to prepare for another day of judging after the first award ceremony at FSG. But for the less, Formula Student experienced people we have another newsletter for you.

Hockenheim – Day 3

August 7th, 2009

During the warm welcome of the FSG organization on Wednesday evening, a small DUT08 delegation returned the trophy of last year. In return DUT Racing received a beautiful award for the first place winner of 2008. From this moment on the battle went loose for all team to fight for this years 1st place trophy.

Lots of things happened since then, mostly good things luckily. We did some morning gymnastics where we received another FSUK 2009 award. The “Best Supplier of FSUK 2009 award”, introduced by Cat Racing for helping them out in Silverstone. Other good things happened during scrutineering, read more about this below. And at noon all the teams assembled for the panorama photo where all the participating teammembers were transferred into one’s and zero’s on lots of photocamera’s.

Hockenheim – Day 1 & 2

August 6th, 2009

Silverstone is just two weeks away from the Formula Student Germany event here in Hockenheim and a second place in Silverstone is just one place away from a first place in Hockenheim. This time we brought even more team members, with even more tents and a even more elevated team spirit!

Every event is different then the other in hundreds of aspects. Where we were drowning in the rain in England, we are burning in the sun here in Germany. The same counts for the competitors, the Silverstone event hosted the most Formula Student teams ever which made the competition very diverse and unknown. Here in Germany we know more about the top 20 teams, then we know about pasta red sauce. But we know that these 20 teams, which are coming forth out a 78 competitorsfield from 18 different countries, are so fierce that each one of them could win. The competition is tense!
