Two kic.in2.study S2R students had the opportunity to find out about the Formula Student event this week.

   

Formula Student is Europe’s biggest educational motorsport event.   It challenges student engineers to innovate, design, build and compete as a team with their own single seat racing car.  Formula Student 2009 is the UK’s 12th FS event and had over 135 teams from 23 different countries.

On Thursday David attended a press conference held by Ross Braun, Formula Student Patron.  He was also able to interview Pat Symonds from Renault.   On Saturday,  David and James attended Silverstone where they saw many of the cars being tested – for acceleration, braking, noise, tilt and sprint.  

   

As well as taking photographs and video footage they were able to carry out interviews with a number of people involved in the event.  They hope to work on this in the next few days to get a package onto their S2R webpages.
