Yesterday the team visited the Auto and Technik Museum in Sinsheim. The showrooms were filled with cars, planes, machinery, and weapons of all sorts. The museum had many unique and sometimes unusual items on display such as a history of chainsaws, wedding gowns, and vacuum cleaners. In the evening, we checked in to our hotel in Bammental followed by dinner in the beautiful city of Heidelberg.
Today we went kart racing at a track near Karlsruhe. We happened to run into the Fast Forest (Deggendorf) FSAE team. They were there making last minute preprations to their car, as well as their Formula Electric car. They are a 2nd-year team, and it's quite impressive that they were able to build two cars, one gasoline, one electric, with such a small group. Today was the first day they've driven the electric car (just one day before competition begins!) and everything seemed to work properly.
The whole team had a great time karting this afternoon. Competition at the Hockenheimring begins tomorrow with registration and tech inspection. We will be unpacking our crates as well.
