We started our 2024 season at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg at FS Austria, which took place from 21 to 25 June. It was a very successful and memorable race for us.
Static events
In the static events, the team performed well. In our very first competition this year we qualified for the Engineering Design Event final, where we were judged by a panel of experts alongside Modena, Valencia and the Greek Centaurus Racing Team. We also gained good experience in the Cost & Manufacturing and Business Plan Presentation.
Dynamic events
The car successfully completed all of the dynamic race events.We managed to achieve the 7th best time in acceleration and the 4th best time in Skidpad. However, we could see that the car still had potential, which we wanted to unleash for the next race.
We finished 3rd in Autocross with a very good performance, which allowed us to start the following day's Endurance later, in ideal track conditions. We completed the 22 km distance without any mistakes and post-scrutineering was not an obstacle for us, so our overall score increased significantly. The car's fuel consumption was excellent over the 22 km distance thanks to the SZEngine team, which resulted in 2nd place in the Efficiency category.
On the podium again after 2022
The teamwork and performance throughout the year paid off again after our 2nd place overall in 2022, as we were able to finish on the podium with a 3rd place overall.
For the team it was an unforgettable experience at FS Austria 2024, from where we headed to the Hungarian FS East 3 days later, highly motivated and with useful experience.
