The autocross scores are posted and MRacing is in the top 4 along with Global Formula Racing, TU Purin, and TU Delft. Today's endurance race will be run in the order of autocross times from slowest to fastest, so we will be one of the last cars on the course. We will likely be running around 4:30pm Germany time, but it depends on how quickly the event goes. Times for yesterday's skidpad and acceleration have not been posted yet.
The entire endurance race will be streamed live at http://formulastudent.tv
Our two endurance drivers, Garrett Huff and Michael Mosburger, are walking the course right now. It rained this morning and the track is still damp, but drying. Right now it is partly cloudy above the track and a chance of scattered showers is in the forecast so tire selection will be crucial today.
A brief summnary of how endurance works: The race is 22km long, 11km for each driver. No parts are allowed to fall off the car or drag on the ground and no fluids can leak. At the mid-race driver change, the car will be checked over by officials before being allowed to continue. There will be 4 cars on the track at a time, and passing can only occur at designated passing lanes. The 4 fastest cars from autocross will run together after all the other cars have finished. We are in this "fast four" group. Our fuel economy score will be calculated based on our fuel consumption during the race. The race is worth 325 points, and fuel economy is worth another 100 points.
