The team completed registration this afternoon and we have already unpacked both our crates into our pit area. We are 39th in line for scrutineering which is going on today and continuing tomorrow. Final preparations are being made to the car so that we can pass through smoothly.
The motorsports atmosphere is in the air here. All day there is the sound of screeching tires and full throttle exhaust notes from cars making laps around the track. Notable cars on the track today were a Mercedes SLS and a Lexus LF-A. Just a week ago our pit area was occupied by Formula 1 teams.
We are sharing our garage with RIT, TU Cottbus, Global Formula Racing, Loughborough, and Stuttgart DHBW. There are posters in the area describing the World FSAE Rankings, in which MRacing is pictured along with 4 of the best teams in the world: TU Graz, Helsinki, Stuttgart, and TU Delft. It's very apparent that we are recognized as one of the best at the competition.
This year, the Formula Student Electric competition is being held alongside ours. They have a separate paddock to house the 15 registered teams. Interestingly, their endurance race will be held at night after ours.
