C.U.Motorsport should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Formula Student 2006

Ok so Im sure you all know what this is about. A team of uni student design and build a formula style race car FROM SCRATCH and race is against other university built cars from around the world in a series of static and dynamic tests.

Here are some pics from the competition.

Sorry, I've had to convert your images to links - they're huge, and taking far too long to load, even on a broadband connection.

That was the better of just two photos of your car. I was there for the Uni of Hertfordshire (car 200)

you must have been lucky to get one of the car on track since we only lasted 2 laps in the enduro event before going out with a broken driveshaft.

Plus someone who had a spot of bother on the practice area.

Its just my luck isn't it. The only times that the Coventry car is out on track and I'm stuck looking after our teams pit girls and Scalextric set.

Hmmmm, what am I saying.

Another great pic there of our car.

I wouldn't be suprised that due to our pit girls, our car was the most photographed of the event, we had hordes of people around.

We may have done crap in the marketing presentation but we had by far the best marketing strategy f any team.

Since I was head of Marketing for the team, this makes me a little smug

Hey Gav,

Did you get your new camera in time for the event? How did the Toronto team do? One of their members is a regular contributor to my website's forum.

See you in Donnington!

In the end I decided to use the 1D one last time! Not many bright red cars, so you don't notice the difference between the 1D and the 1D2 quite so much.

The 1D is now officially retired, and it'll be sold as soon as I can shift it.

As for Toronto, another great effort - quite a conventional car but they spent a huge amount of effort getting the weight down and it is very well put together.
