Full Report: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YB3K9C2X

Cardiff Racing returns from Silverstone following one of their most successful campaigns yet. Despite a number of problems and the adverse weather that was thrown at the team, the car completed every event for the first time in 5 years and came 19th out of 79 global teams and 5th in the United Kingdom.

Highlights from the event include:
• Qualifying as one of the top 10 fastest cars in the only truly dry session.
• Completion of every dynamic event; one of only 23 teams to do so.
• A cost special task presentation which achieved 29/30 points and helped contribute to a top 10 ranked cost presentation and a top 20 cost score.
• Nomination for the Airbus teamwork and Jaguar-Land Rover manufacturing awards.
• 6th best fuel economy during completion of the endurance.

The team are now preparing for Formula Student Germany and hoping to build upon the Silverstone success both at this event and in future years.

Nearly there...

Only a few hours till we leave for Silverstone now and lots of things being finished off and tidyed up today along with lots of packing.

Had limited testing last few weeks but when we have they have generally been good sessions with the car showing promise in many events and reliability.

Launch is tomorrow at 11am in central car park of engineering building so pop down if people can and then we're off to Silverstone for what should hopefully be one of Cardiff Racing's best finishes.

Thanks to everyone who helped get this year's car to where it is today; hopefully we can reward some of that effort.

PS Check out flikr soon after the event for lots of photos im sure.
