UI Racing Team entered the FS challenge as a blank page. The team is the first of its kind in Iceland and none of its members have taken part in the competition before. Our goals are ambitious for a first year team and thus the learning curve has been steep. We have entered an electric car which will have been designed and built in a year. Our primary goal is to build a car that will pass the judges scrutiny and be eligible to compete. Our second goal is to successfully complete all events at the competition. As a first year team, this goal is not easily attained.
Extra attention to detail has been crucial to our teams’ progress thus far. UI Racing has acquired a plethora of advisors who have become critical to the teams’ learning experience and not least to its’ future success. Team members are also encouraged to independently seek out expert advice from professors and field professionals. The team is very active in holding events where all members can come together, such as Go-Karting, weekend work trips and snorkeling. Few members of the team were acquainted before signing up, but these events have created a tight-knit group.
