Yesterday in the afternoon, the Sprint event was scheduled. Just as in the morning, the threat of rain was still present. Some good teams decided to do their laps early in the Sprint, while we decided to wait and see what happened on track. Monash started with some good laps, until Ravensburg decided to do their laps. The time set by the German/American combination was immediately the fastest of the day. That was the point that we hit the track. With a big applause from the grand stand, we set out first time, unfortunately 3 seconds slower than Ravensburg. Our second heat was better, although there was a lot of traffic on track. Therefore we got an additional lap in which we set the second best time of the day! No other team was able to improve that time.

In the evening, the Design Finals took place. Since we ended within the top 5 of Design Judging, we were invited to defend our design during the Design Finals. Could we win Design Judging for the second time in a row? Unfortunately, Ravensburg was decided as winner and DUT Racing second. A very good result, although we have to hand over the famous Carroll Smith shield to Ravensburg.

Cost Judging: 5th place
Design Judging: 2nd place
Business Plan Presentation: 9th place
