It’s time for a FSG recap!🇩🇪 Anyone who has been following us on site or via the livestream will understand when we say that the past week at the Hockenheimring has been an emotional rollercoaster.💚 We kicked off strong, reaching the finals in both the Business Plan Presentation and the Engineering Design. On the other hand, we also had problems passing the Rain Test, which meant that we missed out on our slot for the Skidpad and were therefore unable to compete here. As soon as we had passed the Rain Test, it was time for the Acceleration. Our driver managed to achieve a time of 3.47 seconds in the second run with the X0711-1. Delighted with this time, we moved on to the AutoX, where we, despite early issues, managed a best time of 73.99 seconds, securing a spot in the top five for Endurance.⏱️ On the final day, unpredictable weather made the tire choice tough. Nevertheless, our second driver in particular managed to set outstanding times, which enabled us to achieve a best lap time of 81.93 seconds. Despite the problems that arose in the final laps before the end of the Endurance, we managed to finish the Endurance successfully. 🏎️ In the hours that followed, however, it was a case of wait and see for us, with our euphoria fading by the minute. After the Endurance, our car was turned upside down in the Scruti while the team waited outside. After almost four hours it was clear: the Endurance would not be scored and we would get a DQ because our BSPD was not rules compliant. This meant our strong performances couldn’t lead to a top placement at FSG 2024. But we’re not giving up and are continuing to fight for our goal! 🏆We headed to our friends in Graz to fix the issues and prepare for Formula Student Alpe Adria. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors and tugracing once again for their loyal support and help during this time! 💚 We’re now looking forward to competing in Croatia and wish all participating teams every success! 🇭🇷 © Marvin Herzog © Rennteam Media – Himmen #Rennteam #unistuttgart #teamwork #formulastudent #formulastudentgermany #racecar #racing #hockenheim #competition #fsae
