REPORT CONTEST
Thursday 7/8 – Setup day/Scrutineering
The team arrived early on track, having arrived the previous night safely in
Hradec Kralove. After registering all team members on site, we proceeded into out
pit box, which for the Czech competition was inside an old war airplane bunker, as
the competition is held in a former military airbase. Almost every other team was
already there, since most of them drove in one day early to be prepared.
Immediately some team members started assembling the car for the technical
inspection, while the rest started cleaning and setting up the team booth. After
waiting in the scrutineering queue for a couple of hours, it was our turn to enter
the electrical scrutineering. The technical inspectors were impressed by our car
and we passed easily on the first go, proceeding to the mechanical scrutineering
right after. This was also passed with no difficulties at all, and so did the tilt test.
Unfortunately, during the rain test the team discovered that some damage was
done to the battery/electronics during transportation, and since there was no
time left, we focused on cleaning and preparing the car for the next days’ static
events that would start really early in the morning
