Greenpower on Track

SCROLL

After months of relentless work since Cricket Quarter (summer term) last year, the Greenpower team kicked off Oration Quarter (autumn term) racing to get the car ready for the season’s first challenge.

Throughout last year, our team put in a lot of work on our latest race car, mainly cutting weight and making some small aerodynamic tweaks. After losing four key members – and a lot of experience with them – we knew Dunsfold was going to be a real challenge.

To make things tougher, it started raining as soon as we arrived at the track, so a wet race was on the cards. Even so, we pulled together to get some last-minute fixes done before practice and the race.

Our spirits were lifted when the drivers came back saying the car felt quicker and more reliable than before.

With us finishing 11th – just outside the points – it was our best result in years. All in all, it was an awesome weekend and a big success for the team.

We now look ahead to next year’s races. We welcome new members to the team and have started planning to enhance this year’s car, as well as build a new car from scratch.
