Race Results
Although the final event, the “Combined Performance and Efficiency” race (winner-take-all) happened a few days ago, we still feel like we’re racing. Official results have yet to be released, so nobody can say for sure what penalties are for each team. And the unpenalized finish times were THAT close! Although there is a potential [...]
Of course we never doubted this, but we are through! Project TW4XP has passed all tests of the Knockout Stage and is approved to take part in the Final Race!

Some people asked us about the Competition Tracker and the Telemetry Data. We think that the submission of this data is a really good idea, which will show how efficient the vehicles are at every moment of the tests. Unfortually the submission doesn’t seem to work properly yet.

The vehicle is in the box and on the way to Michigan International Speedway. After we waved goodbye, we suddenly missed Barbara. We were not sure if she perhaps wanted to take some more pictures of the interior of the box. She always takes pictures of everything. But then we found her, taking pictures of us [...]
Maybe you noticed: The volcanic eruption in Iceland has taught us too to be humble. When nature strikes back we are powerless: the flight of our competition vehicle was delayed.
After our first shock we were relieved to learn that at least one other European team had the same problems and that [...]
Jihei! Awsome, wonderful, a fantastic feeling!
My first drive with the completed competition vehicle!
Now I try to find a way of describing it… and I realise that it is already described on our web site: Our vision that we want to make come true:
Imagine driving through the countryside, the wind in your hair and the sun [...]
