[2024 FSP OVERALL EV WINNERS] The last competition of the season didn't start the way we were hoping for. Two huge issues almost became unsolvable problems for the technical inspections. Still, selflessness and determination coupled with a hint of luck made everything possible. The two parts that gave us headaches were lap belts and rear brake calipers that due to the wear and tear didn't pass the mechanical inspection. The main problem with replacing such specific mission-critical components is the delivery time - we could have ordered new ones, but they simply wouldn't arrive in time for us to race. That's why we need to thank Proton Dynamic for lending us their spare lap belts! The brake caliper story is a bit different. Luckily, we have had some spare ones in our garage, 1000km away from us. Having them in the pit on time required a perfect logistic venture. With the help of our team in Zagreb, we achieved just that. After learning in the evening that we needed new brake calipers, we set them on a long journey: by car to Zadar, followed by a flight to Warsaw, arriving at our pit at 9:30 AM the very next morning! With those issues out of the way, we were able to pass all the inspections just in time to have one Skidpad run. Unfortunately, a bit of oil on the brake line during post-inspection meant the run wasn’t valid. A couple of hours later it was time for the Acceleration and also the point at which this rollercoaster of emotions became pure joy. By securing P2 in the Acceleration our hopes were up once again. In the next two days, Martes was as ready as ever and you can see that in the results - P2 in Autocross followed by P1 in the Endurance, the crown discipline of the race week. Great results followed from the static disciplines as well: P1 in the Engineering Design Event, P1 in Cost & Manufacturing, and P3 in the Business Plan Presentation. All these results led to us topping the Formula Student Poland Overall EV leaderboard! The perfect way to finish the season! A massive thank you to our sponsors, alumni, family, and friends. Your unwavering support made all the difference!

Let's take a short break from Formula Student Poland to reflect on our home competition - Formula Student Alpe Adria. The competition could not have started better, with us finishing the technical inspections in record time. This early success gave us two full days to strategically plan our Acceleration and Skidpad runs, allowing us to maximize our results. Minor issues cropped up during the Autocross, where our drivers managed only two representative laps out of the four available due to technical difficulties. However, we identified and resolved the issue just in time for Endurance. The Endurance event went smoothly, with both our drivers delivering strong performances during their stints. They managed to set a very competitive time, but unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be, as Martes didn’t pass post-scrutineering due to an oil leak. On a positive note, we learned a lot from this experience and had the chance to meet some incredible new people. The knowledge and connections we gained here will be invaluable as we move forward.

A strong start to our season at Formula Student Czech Republic! Building on last year's foundations, we blazed through technical inspections with only minor hiccups. This allowed Martes to demonstrate its strengths from the get-go. Martes not only excelled in performance but also proved its reliability, successfully completing our first Endurance of the season and securing P6. We return from Formula Student Czech Republic with a top 10 overall finish in the EV category, competing against 46 other teams! Our sights are set even higher for next week at Formula Student Alpe Adria!

Introducing our 2024 race car - Martes. Every kilogram, millimeter, second, and newton on this journey represented a new frontier for us to cross. However, this is not just a product of human labor and sleepless nights in the workshop; it is also a testament to the power of will, the courage to dream, and the fearlessness and determination to solve the problems we encountered. A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors, alumni, family, and friends, as none of this would be possible without their unwavering support.
