Team Profile
Northern Spirit Motorsport is one of three new teams from Norway. Our team consists of students from three different engineering disciplines at Østfold University College. Considering we are a very small first year team from a relatively small university, and that our team was formed in September of 2011, we have had the odds against us since the beginning. On top of that we have aimed our sights very high, with a turbocharged engine featuring innovative intake and exhaust geometry, and a stylish bodywork consisting of carbon fiber and ABS-plastic panels. The learning curve has been very steep for everyone involved, and we have worked extremely hard with all aspects of the design and build process.
Our main design goal has been creating a race car that is sturdy, user friendly, exciting, and handles predictably. We did not want to follow the crowd, hence many of our solutions are different and innovative. In addition, we wanted to build a solid platform for development for coming teams. We would like to thank Østfold University College, Østfold Fylkeskommune and the rest of our sponsors for their generous support. Without their help, we would not be able to make our dream come true.
