Exclusive sportsmanship

Categories:

by

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

Categories:

by

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

Categories:

by

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

Categories:

by

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.
