Virtual Car Team Week 28: Round two of Graph Tuesday and updates on the buck...
Another virtual car team, another meeting kick started with our weekly catch up. This week however, we were joined by two CAUC alumni; Ella and Emma. Ella is in her first year at Bristol University studying Aerospace Engineering and was filling us in on the first few weeks of her course whilst Emma is in her third year at Loughborough University. Emma has just embarked on an internship with a Japanese design company and gave us an insight into her daily activities - including getting to grips with a Japanese keyboard!!
We also took the opportunity to congratulate both Lucy and Elf who have recently been awarded an Awkwright Talent Scholarship. It was the first time that we had all 'got together' (albeit virtually!) since the announcement so it was great to have chance to celebrate their achievements.
Congratulations and catch up over, it was time to get stuck into the 'To Do List' for the evening - starting with another Graph Tuesday. Converting the data from Greenpower's live timings into a graph, we were able to discuss the performance of our main competitors - whilst also checking out the new cars on the block!
Whilst on the topic of Goodwood, we headed onto Facebook and Youtube to watch some onboard footage from the day shared by a number of other teams - including watching the very impressive start of HWM Aston Martin from Sylvia Beaufoy Centre.
Next up, we headed outside into Richard and Jane's garage to see an update on the buck - looking at the latest areas that had been pattern coat primmed and sanded, with Richard talking us through the quality of the surface finish and areas that will require some filler.
Car updates finished for the evening - it was time for CAUC Lockdown Quiz Night. This week, we decided to test our knowledge on Food from around the world. Needless to say, this area of expertise needs a little more work! Especially when it comes to knowing the ingredients required to make corn tortillas.....we were hopeless!!!!! :D
Despite Em, Becksy and Bethan all answering the same number of questions correctly - it was Bethan who took the win with her speedy response times to each question!!
However, this week's results weren't enough to knock Richard and Jane off top spot on the leader board....
This brings us to the end of another weekly catch-up.
We are having a little 'half term' zoom holiday next week, so we'll see you all soon once the fun and games of virtual CAUC resumes!!!!
See you then!
