After a long covid break, the organizing company Emerson could once again invite student teams to Hungary to compare their strengths and compressed air-powered vehicles. Thirteen teams took to the start line to compete in three disciplines: the Long distance race, where the vehicle that travels the longest distance on a single cylinder wins, the Arcade race, where the aim is to complete three laps of the circuit as quickly as possible, and the Drag race, which is won by the fastest vehicle over a 220-metre timed course.
The team “UPBAIR” passed the organisers’ entry check and qualifying without a single problem.
Next year the team has two races coming up. In addition to the classic race in Hungary, the organizers want to organize a competition in Germany.
How did the team and their car do?
Long distance: 8th place
Arcade race: not finished
Drag race: 10th place
Teacher's race: 12th place
The team of talented young students reached the goal they had set for themselves: they are the first team of the Politehnica University of Bucharest to qualify for the races Long distance and Drag race.
