Exclusive sportsmanship
About a month ago we received a suggestion from Germany through the team facebook page from Hendrikje Newman, Raceyard Formula Student Team Kiel. Suggestion conserned exchanging one of our team shirt for leaving Raceyard combustion team 2011 shirt and we decided to make this happen! The Raceyard shirt belonged to the first chemist who took part within the formula student combat and we promised to cherish it like our own. Our team shirt has already been in a slalom competition in Northern Germany and it belonged to our ex- PR and Casting Manager. Hopefully both shirts visit many places and have a long, happy life..

Baltic Open, Karlstad 25.-28.08.2011
Baltic Open was organized this year in Sweden by Clear River Racing -FS team at Karlstad. Since this was not an official event, we were allowed to participate with 3 cars in the event, with FS011, FS010 and FS008. Also static events were not included in the event schedule.
Event started with scrutineering and after that we drove around streets in the center of Karlstad during the opening ceremony. This was definitely the best event so far with FS011 since the car worked like a charm and we finished endurance for the first time in this season. Overall placement for FS011 was 12th, FS008 was 14th and FS010 was 17th.

Formula Student Hungary 18.-21.08.2011
After proper testing in Hungary, FS011 was working well and it proved also it’s performance. However, things can go wrong and the result in Hungary was not what we were looking for. We could have been easily in TOP 20, but during the endurance driving session the engine stalled after 6 laps and our driver was not able to get the car into neutral gear and start the engine to continue driving. Overall placement for the team in FSH was therefore 26th in overall competition.

Testing in Hungary
Due to the fact that we had a lot of technical problems in FSG we decided to look for a proper racetrack from Hungary suitable for testing before our next event Formula Student Hungary. At first we tested at Euro-Ring for couple of days and then one day at Kakucs Ring.
Tests went well and we were able to truly test the reliability of our car. At Kakucs Ring our car was faster than Porsche GT2 Biturbo and Porsche 911 which proves quite well the performance of the car.

Formula Student Germany 4.-8.8.2011
As expected, FSG 2011 turned out to be difficult event for us, but FS011 proved to be functional and fast although it had a few reliability issues. First of all the frame of the car didn’t correspond to rules in technical inspection and therefore it needed re-inforcements because of 8mm frame tube aberration. We had also difficulties with the bodywork, fuel pump was located too low and pneumatic parts were loosely fastened. After we fixed all the necessary issues we finally got the car ready for racing.
Skid-pad went ok in friday, but we didn’t have time to adjust the car so our time was not very good. In the following day during testing, our side shaft fell off and caused us to miss acceleration event. In autocross the lower left front A-arm broke down and we didn’t have enough time to replace that part on time. On the final day we managed to drive 5 laps in endurance before the upper right rear A-arm broke down. After this incident we replaced all our carbon fibre A-arms with steel ones to prevent problems with A-arms in the future.
Team overall placement in FSG 2011 was 59th and we are currently looking for a testing place to ensure the reliability of the car before our next event in Hungary 18.-21.8.2011.

D-day closing up
FS011 is still under construction due to various delays with work force and processes/part deliveries. However, the car should be on its wheels and driveable after one week when chassis and electronics are completed. Fiberglass bodywork will be added later to complete the unique appearance.
