Good luck to everyone.

Flying out tomorrow night, where are people staying? Dartmouth aka. "all four of us" are staying in Milton Keynes

[BStoney]

We're at the University of Warwick in Coventry until tomorrow, then to Silverstone to camp with everyone else...should be a good time.

Good luck to all...

[TomF]

Well good luck to you all guys. This will be my first event in 4 years I won't join.. I understood that Silverstone is a lot nicer to be though! Just awaiting the results curiously...

Oh and ehm go Delft!

[Kimmo Hirvonen]

Looks like Helsinki guys have done their first updates.

Lots of carbon and suprisingly a new tilt table seem to be the most eye-catching things.

Is that Ross Brawn in photo 49?

[DUT marco]

Yeah, that's Ross Brawn... he was at the UK event last year too and he is a sort of ambassador for Formula Student - always very interested in the creative solutions that we come up with ;-)

Btw, as TomF (hoe issie met jou? :-p) I'm also staying home for the first time since 2004, and the main disadvantage is that I can't follow the results! gheghe

Oh well, I just follow the news letters and stuff, and hopefullu there will be a videostream at at FSG this year, like there was in 2006

And to all the teams still in the running: good luck tomorrow in the Endurance!

[TomF]

Hey Marco,

Prima, met jou dan?

Results I heard viavia, Johanneum Graz did a 3.78 on accel. And some results of the Delft team, 7th on autocross (RMIT leading by 2 seconds), 4.16 on accel, 5.04 or 5.10 on figure 8. Good luck on finishing tomorrow!

[DUT marco]

I checked the site of Johanneum Graz, and it said that they won both Acceleration and Skid pad, with times of 3.78 sec and 4,996 sec respectively

If only someone had already posted a photograph of the result sheets on their team site! ;-) gheghe, that would certainly help

Apparently, Stuttgart won the Presentation Event, with a very close call between another (unmentioned) team - where the time limit decided the winner

[DUT marco]

Here are the results from the top 18 teams, I just got them from the Delft team in England... Sorry for the chaotic notations, but I hope you forgive me ;-)
