The team begun competition preparation at 10AM this morning. Unpacking of our two crates went smoothly. We spent the majority of the day getting the car ready for tomorrow’s shakedown. The carbon fiber control arms were installed along with one-piece forged aluminum wheels. System checklists were performed as well. Finding fuel for our car was quite an adventure, as most German gas stations do not have the E85 (ethanol) that our team uses. We did not have the opportunity to fire up the engine today due to the lack of fuel.
Oklahoma University begun their preparation alongside us. They were able to unpack their crates and start their car up. ETS had a late start on their preparation because their crate did not arrive until the afternoon. There was no sign of RIT or their crates today.
We are beginning suspension setup early tomorrow morning and plan to have our car ready for testing by noon. It should be an interesting day having all these teams working side by side and sharing a test track.
