GreenpowerWSFC

We are the F24+ Greenpower team based at Wilberforce College in Hull.

Now that the race is complete it takes the pressure off us to get the car finished and now we can slow down and really think about what we are doing with the car but the three we are concentrating on is making the car lighter, making the car faster and possibly some suspension.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

The car is now back at @WilberforceSFC after its amazing race yesterday it went very well we came sixth but now we need to start looking at what needs changing and improving. The motor and batteries didn't get nearly as hot as when the air intakes weren't there so they worked

Here's a video shot in 32x slow motion of the car during practice.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

Just brought the car back from the practice and had just enough time to snap a quick photo.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

We are out during rest race James is in the car and Ashley is going to take over soon.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

Just tomorrow left now until Eileen goes out racing for the first time since we made the design changes over this year. Let's see how well we do and let's see if our design changes make Eileen go faster.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

Eileen is now in reception ready for it to picked up tomorrow and also to display the car during open event tomorrow morning @WilberforceSFC from 9:30am - 12:30am.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

We also made an aluminium cover plate for the back of the car to cover the batteries. The car has been dusted down and had some more stickers applied showing our twitter name.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

We added this mirrored card onto the mirror pods to give them a better look.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

GOOD NEWS

Eileen is now fully finished and everything is done tomorrow we are going to be performing final checks and then we are ready for Sunday

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

We discovered a very nice effect today that when direct sunlight shines on the car this glitter sort of sparkle appears on the paint. It looks better in person and hopefully if there is enough sun on the day we will be able to get this effect on the day.

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

You can get a first look at the fully finished Eileen on Saturday if you are attending the open event at Wilberforce College from 9:30-12:30 the car will be at the front of the car college in reception ready for pick up

[GreenpowerWSFC @GreenpowerW]

Theres more stickers going on the car today and some cleaning as well to make it look nicer after all the wet and dry sanding.
