Rennteam Uni Stuttgart celebrates an Overall P2 in FS Czech!

The competition season officially began for our team on 18 July. As we had decided not to take part in Formula Student Switzerland due to a lack of testing time, our journey began at Formula Student Czech in Most. The event took place from 18th to 24th July.

Once we had set up our tents and prepared the pit for the car, we were able to start with the first scrutineering sessions. We successfully completed the accumulator and mechanical scrutineering on the very first day of the event, the 19th of July. We also passed the electrical scrutineering the following day.

Over the next few days, we focused on the statics events such as the Cost Report, Engineering Design and Business Plan Presentation. The team reached the final with its business plan and presented it in the evening in front of all the other teams. In the end, we came fourth with our business plan. The Cost Report and Engineering Design also earned us good marks and demonstrated our team spirit.

The dynamic disciplines began on Wednesday, 22 July. Here, our drivers were able to showcase their skills after completing the Driver Egress test. We therefore achieved good results in Acceleration, SkidPad and AutoCross.

In the Endurance event, the team put in a strong performance despite a few interruptions.

To round things off, at the awards ceremony the team celebrated third place in the ‘Efficiency’ category and, as the grand finale, second place overall. The energy was amazing and the victories were celebrated on stage.

Following this successful first event, we are now ready to tackle the next one.

See you at Formula Student Austria in Spielberg.

Feuer Frei!
