DUT Racing team members are not only working on the DUT10 or their studies, but also on their future. To get a good idea of what they are going to do after their studies, they attend company visits to some of our sponsors. Earlier this year, SKF invited us for a company visit and one month ago, it was Teijin’s turn.

Teijin, sponsor since 2003, provides us with Twaron from which the crash nose is produced. Since the people from Teijin have a field of expertise on Twaron, they wanted to know all ins and outs of our crash nose. Therefore they invited us to give an extended presentation during one of their R&D days last week. Employees of Teijin were present in large numbers. They gave us new inputs for the design of our crash nose and took a closer look at our car.
