Great success!

The Shell Eco Marathon race is over. And the result is very satisfying. Our team with an extremely tight budget passed technical inspection, finished the race (many teams were disqualified because their vehicles exceeded fuel limit for the race or just broke down). Our achievement was the 3rd place in general classification of Urban Diesel category. It's the best place any Polish team ever gained in any category. Plans for the next race: get more $$ from sponsors and upgrade the vehicle. Having more money, we could make marvels.

What takes my time (Update 15.05.2012)

I've been still for a couple of months due to a whole bunch of work at the University. Right now, I'm involved in a couple of projects, including my engineering degree project (controller for a exhaust wide-band oxygen sensor) and a project of a vehicle for the Shell's Eco Marathon. Our team is constructing the vehicle called "Cetan". It is supposed to compete in SEM's "Urban" category. It will be powered by a 211ccm diesel engine. Here you go for a movie:

The construction is made mostly of fiberglass and aluminium. The total weight of the vehicle must not exceed 205kg. Check out the photos:

Keep your fingers crossed for our project :)

Update:
Last night we nearly finished the project and our team with no rest head out to Rotterdam. We had to struggle with a tight budget, therefore we might have problems passing inspection - (Urban category vehicle must have nearly every functionality a regular car does).
