UoP Racing Team competed
with UoP4e in FSE 2013 (30/74/8) at Hockenheimring in
Baden- Württemberg, Germany.
For the 3rd time, our team
participated in the generally
acknowledged to be the best
and toughest completion.
The overall result of 29/40 in
the
electrical
propulsion
category is not what the team
was aiming for but, despite the difficulties that team faced in Germany, the overall
impression was that the car has great potential for the upcoming competitions.
We achieved some great results in
the FSE cost analysis event (10th
place), while the team was
awarded with the third place on
the "Best Use of Adhesives" special
award, powered by Henkel. Prior to
the event, we found out that we
were among the 5 finalists for the
Henkel Best Use of Adhesives
Award! After a small presentation
to the judges of the our concept for
the CFRP A-Arms and the
restraining system for the battery cells, we took the 3rd place award and some very
good comments for the design and the implementation of the adhesion process.
