🏁 Team Spotlight: University of Strathclyde Motorsport (USM)! 🔋This week, we're highlighting USM, who used About:Energy’s Equivalent Circuit Models (ECM) 📈 Formula Student has strict safety limits on battery pack temperature during the race. With our ECM, the team has been able to extend their thermal modelling to make sure their pack stays within those limits. 🏎️ We're so close to Silverstone in less than 2 weeks, see you at the race on 21 July!

🚀 We're heading to the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2024! 📣 We're excited to announce that our team will be attending the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 12-13, 2024! Joining us will be: Gavin White (CEO & Co-Founder) Kieran O'Regan (COO & Co-Founder) Jamie Higgins (Chief Engineer) Christian Pilling (Simulation Engineer) Neil Morris (Chairman) Thierry Bolloré (Director) 🏎️ We'll be there alongside McMurtry Automotive Limited. We can't wait to meet new people and connect with industry enthusiasts. 👋 If you're attending, be sure to stop by and say hello!

🌟 2024 Team Away Day Highlights! 🚀 We recently enjoyed a great trip to the English countryside in Somerset. It was packed with activities that combined fun and productive team building! Here are the highlights from the trip: 🏁 Go-Karting: 383 adrenaline-fuelled laps 🏌️♂️Croquet: 22 roquets between competitors 🥾Hiking: 13k hike 🍖 BBQ: 48 sausages eaten at our BBQ 🧩 Board Games: 17 successful word connections in Codenames 🕵️♂️ Shepton Mallet Prison: 48 prison cells explored 🔹 The Away Day is essential for team building, providing a chance to reflect on the past few extremely busy months and look ahead with renewed energy and focus. 🔭 Now, we are prepared for one of our busiest quarters yet, including the grand unveiling of our new testing facility and office in Central London.
