For the first time in UW history, seniors and group leaders traveled to Germany to compete in the Formula Student Germany competition, held August 8th-12th at the legendary Hockenheimring.

In its second year, the event hosted 58 teams from Europe and around the world. Although rain dampened the campground and track for much of the competition, we had the opportunity to see a whole new array of cars with some impressive design and manufacturing. Unfortunately our hopes for a top finish were shattered due to brake problems during the endurance event, leading us to finish in 20th place. The experience in Germany was still unforgettable, giving us new ideas and motivation for the upcoming season.
