New season coming up
With FS Germany still fresh in our minds, the new team is highly motivated and already preparing for a whole new season of Formula Student. Starting by tidying up, the core team made a good start. Currently they are busy preparing the minor assignments, setting up the top level requrements and organising everything for a succesful year.
Last week we had our first activity. Together with our 01, 08 and 09 cars we were present in the universities central park (Mekelpark) during the OWee (the introduction week of the university). During the informationmarket, about 2300 students were having their lunch in the park, and we supplied them with some very nice engine sounds. Attracting a lot of interested students, we had a nice opportunity to spread the word of Formula Student among these new students.
The new team will have the challenge of outshining the DUT09 results:
- 1x Class 1 Runner-up (2nd place)
- 2x Engineering Design Award (1st place)
- 1x Most Fuel Efficient Car (1st place)
- 1x Cost Award (1st place)
- 1x Business Plan Presentation Award (3rd place)
- Airbus Lightweight Vehicle Award
- FISITA Award for Engineering Excellence
- Carroll Smith Memorial Shield for 1st place on Design Event
And the special CAT Racing Award for Best Supplier. Awarded by CAT Racing to show their gratitude towards DUT Racing for reparing their car in the “Delft Truck” at FSUK 2009.
