This morning, DUT Racing attended in the Cost Judging, Design Judging and Business Plan Presentation events. The morning started with Cost Judging. The judges were positive about our Cost Special case presentation, where we had to make a plan about how to produce a certain amount of uprights. The event continued with the general cost judging at which the judges asked questions about for example the wheels and waste carbon fibre during production. The judges were very satisfied about the last test: a random team member was asked to look up the cost of the rear shock-absorber in our Cost report. Luckily, Lennart (our Team Manager) was picked as random engineer.

The morning continued with Design Judging. Seven judges were present to ask questions about the design of our car. The conversations went smooth; the judges were convinced about the level of detail our design. They were especially appreciated about the user-centered approach of our design and the good focus on the amateur weekend racer.

At the end of the morning we were invited to give our Business Plan Presentation. Here, you have to convince a virtual company to invest in your car. After a presentation of 10 minutes and 5 minutes of questions, the company members (or judges) were impressed by our business proposal. A smooth presentation and also a nice end of the static events for now. To be continued…
