summer is over, but the best is yet to come
the new season prep starts now🍂🧡

Day 6 at Formula Student France 🇫🇷

Saturday started with Endurance, the final dynamic event of the week. 🏎️

Unfortunately, our run came to an early end when our chain broke. Not the way we wanted to finish our last event of the season, especially after making it through all previous dynamic events. Still, we’re proud of what we achieved. The car performed well and the issue was limited to the chain rather than a more fundamental problem.

We spent the rest of the day packing up our camp and getting everything ready for the long journey home on Sunday morning.

In the evening, we joined the second part of the Award Ceremony, bringing an eventful week at Formula Student France to a close. 🌄

Day 5 at Formula Student France 🇫🇷

After another storm during the night, Friday started a little later than planned. As soon as we were allowed back into the pits, we used the time for some final suspension adjustments before Autocross.

We decided to wait until noon before heading out, giving the track some time to dry and allowing us to run in damp conditions. We then successfully completed all four Autocross runs. 🏎️🏁

Throughout the day, we also worked on getting our DV system ready for the DV Inspection Mission. Unfortunately, despite our efforts, we weren’t able to complete it due to a component no longer responding as expected.

In the evening, all teams came together for the big Formula Student France group photo 📸🇫🇷

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.
