also had a half-hour feedback
ZOOM call with the BRDs to
determine how to modify their
setups. Vince Wood of McLaren
Applied provided his extensive
experience in racecar set-up to
the teams during the ZOOM calls.
To cap the event, we broadcast a
fun wheel-to-wheel racing
session with team and BRD
interviews here.
FH+E also received positive feedback from the one-hour
ZOOM-based Sponsor Expos. We were thrilled to have the
session hosted by the Thayer School of Engineering session,
moderated by Dean Alexis Abramson and featuring Pat
Symonds, CTO of Formula 1. Pat discussed his experience in
racing and the future of hybrid technologies. Watch the
feedback session here.
It's interesting to note that 2021 was the 15th anniversary of
Formula Hybrid +Electric, " said Kinzie. " But we chose to delay
the celebration until we can hold the event on track again and
share it with the student teams. "
Leveraging our t-shirt slogan for this year, we've been
saying that we had " VROOOM by ZOOM in '21 but we'll be Back
on Track in '22. " n
