Day 4 at Formula Student France 🇫🇷

We finally hit the track! 🏎️

Thursday was all about our first dynamic events. We started the morning with Skidpad, completing all four runs.

In the afternoon, it was time for Acceleration, where we once again completed all four runs. 🏁

A successful first day of dynamics with all runs completed! ⚡

Day 3 at Formula Student France 🇫🇷

Wednesday started with our Cost & Manufacturing Report, followed by the Business Plan Presentation and our official team photo. 📸

At noon, it was back to scrutineering, where we successfully passed our Electrical Re-Scrutineering! ⚡ With that done, we moved on to weighing and the Tilt Test, which we also completed successfully. ✅

Later in the day, it was time for our Engineering Design Event.

We finished the day by passing the Rain Test and Brake Test without any issues. 💦🏁

A packed day with all static events completed and the remaining stickers collected — finally ready to get on track! 🏎️

Day 2 at Formula Student France 🇫🇷

We spent a good part of the day at Electrical Scrutineering. After some rework and two more visits to the scrutineers, we’re now almost through and ready to tackle the final points tomorrow.

Meanwhile, we successfully passed Pre-Scrutineering and the Egress Test ✅

In the evening, we attended the official Welcome Ceremony before heading back to spend the rest of the evening on the final preparations for tomorrow’s EDE, CMR and Business Plan Presentation.

Day 1 at Formula Student France 🇫🇷

What a start to our second event of the season!

We kicked off Monday by passing Accumulator Scrutineering on our first attempt and completing Mechanical Scrutineering shortly after. Two big steps done and a pretty successful start to the week. 🤞🏻

But the day wasn’t quite over yet.

With thunderstorms forecast for the evening, we started securing our camp as the first strong gusts of wind rolled in. Not long after, the officials evacuated the campsite and moved all teams into the permanent pit buildings.

And if there’s one thing Formula Student teams are good at besides building race cars, it’s making the best out of unexpected situations.

So the pits quickly turned into our home for the evening: cars were being worked on, dinner was served, music was playing and we spent a few rather unusual hours together while the storm passed outside.🪩

Luckily, our camp made it through the weather without major damage and everyone on our side was safe. Unfortunately, not every team was as lucky, and our thoughts go out to those who were hit harder by the storm. ❤️‍🩹

Definitely not the Monday we expected — but one we won’t forget.
