Successful Finish

So this will be the final update regarding racing.... Zips racing finished 12th overall at formula student Germany! A solid performance for our first year

We started the day on Saturday running Acceleration and Autocross. Keven and Logan drove acceleration. Our drivers drove the same time, putting us in 14th place! Solid performance.

Later that afternoon we set the car up for autocross. We planned to get our runs in before the rain. Michan ran the first lap and posted an average time of 58 seconds with 1 cone. He lined up to put the hammer down for his second run. About 15 seconds into the lap the car came to a hault! Schiezen... We pulled the car into the pits trying to diagnose the problem. It was a wiring issue, but unfortunately it took us about 1-2 hours to fix. We were the final car to go out in Autocross that afternoon, and it had just poured rain... This left us middle of the pack for our endurance run on Sunday.

Sunday we prepared the car for endurance. Checking every nut, bolt, connection. The car was ready to go, and we headed up to the line. We proved to be out of place in our endurance position because we were running about 6 seconds faster per lap. But hey, stuff happens. Our car was one of the fastest cars of the entire day. We ended up finished 9th place in Endurance, but the traffic really killed our time...

We chilled out the rest of the day waiting for the awards cermony later that evening.... Now that competition was over it was time to celebrate. We had a blast and were rewarded with Music, Beer, and free mugs! We danced until about 1am and then headed to the campsite for the ''after-party''

Monday morning we packed up our camping gear and headed to one of our sponsors facilities, LUK, for a tour! They welcomed us so gernously and head a great presentation prepared.

Later that evening, around 11:30pm, we arrived back in Munich where we crashed from exhaustion! We plan to tour Munich for the rest of the week. I was given a Fordors book before we left and it is proving to be a huge help! THANKS : )

Chao!
