Presentation racecar URE not entirely flawless

The presentation of the URE08, the latest car made by University Racing Eindhoven (URE), didn’t go exactly as planned on May 30. During a demonstration on the Green Strip in front of the Auditorium its direct predecessor URE07 skidded and ended up in the crush barriers.

There was no damage or casualties, but it left the audience startled. It was real disappointment for URE, because the entire team of almost seventy people had been working day and night for weeks to complete the electric racecar. “It wasn’t night work, it was nights’ work”, said team manager Bram van de Schoot when the URE08 was still veiled.

The presentation of the new car, which took place in the market hall of MetaForum, attracted more than two hundred people. The main feature of the 08 is its low weight. Several weeks from now URE will be competing in university races abroad.
