Hey Everybody,

just a few days to go and Formula Student Germany will start. As orgnizers we prepare a new service for the teams and people how can´t make it to Germany. On Saterday and Sunday we will offer a Live Video Stream service, provided by Siemens VDO. Check out our website for more details.
details

The live stream will be awesome , although I imagine it will be hard to time it well enough to catch our team in action (especially with the time difference between Auckland and Hockenheim). Our team is supposed to be supplying us with regular updates and pictures though so I'll post what I can on here.

Go UoA!

The live stream is a great idea. I'm looking forward to meeting all the teams there, with the way the organizers have been talking it should be a very well run and successful competition, good luck to you all and see you in a few days.

Good luck to all, I hope it is going really well. Especially good luck to those travelling from our part of the globe - I think we have Deakin, Monash, UNSW and UQ competing at FSG this year, along with all the crazies from Auckland. Apologies if I've missed anyone. Anyway, hope you are all enjoying yourselves.

Keep up the good work Frank & crew, I think this is going to be a top class event.

Cheers,

$5 on Lancers to take it all! Go Bartel go.

Seriously though, the canadian teams are killing at the competitions that are farther away from our winter

updates people, updates!

You can follow the Delft team on www.dutracing.nl
First report posted!

Guten Tag from sunny Germany!

What an event this is, so well organised! Congrats to Frank and the crew.

Scrutineering took a while to begin with but I think most of the teams have or are close to passing.

The static events were very well organised with a ton of judges and places always ready on time.

Hockenheim is also an awesome place to hold a FS event! Just being here is kool.

Now that static events are over we are all waiting eagerly for the results and the chance of being in a final (as presentation has finals this year!).

Thats all from me, best of luck to all the teams but GO TEAM AUCKLAND!!

Presentation result:
1 Delft
2 Oxford
3 Loughborough

Style event was a bit strange, quote from style judge during award ceremony:
This car looks quicker than it probably is, but that doesn't matter for a racecar
??!

Hope for dry weather tommorrow, it's raining now.

Provisional Design Finalists (pretty firm)
1 Technical University Graz
3 Helsinki Polytechnic
24 Deakin University
31 Technical University of Munich
63 University of NSW
73 Oxford Brookes University
Good luck to all tomorrow

thx kraut

now it works for me too

seems to be a hard event
helsinki very good at acc.
graz have some transmission (shifting) problems and they have to change it
tu munich also very fast

Awesome! sitting in my lounge watching Autocross from Hockenheim live on WiFi laptop with commentary from Pat Clarke, much better than subtitles ala Inspector Rex.
Heavy rain has slowed things. Think that TU Graz has fast time at 42.99
Cheers Bryan H

no, the 42.99 time was from Helsinki (but I think the driver hit a cone in this lap)

TU Graz wasn't on the track by now, because they have some problems with the gear box

I think you mean the other team from Graz with a fast 43.xx time

seriously not takng notes so sure you are right. restart at 4.45. need to google that

What are the cars in the background doing? Is the track currently being used as well?

Strathclyde win the cost event!!!!!

what a result.

brookes 2nd
stralsund 3rd

There were 4 sub 4 second teams in acceleration with helsinki winning with a 3.84

cheers
