Impulse to Innovation was back at Formula Student this year to celebrate the competition's 25th Anniversary. The episode went out live on the 20th July and this podcast is an edited version of that live show.
It is great to be back in the race control building overlooking world-famous Silverstone Circuit, home of the British Grand Prix. From our studio we could see the National Pits straight and out across to the Silverstone UTC.
And what an amazing 25 years its been for FS, with over 45,000 students having taken part in the event since its inception. And tens of thousands of hours of design, prototyping, building, testing and competing. Not to mention the time and effort put in by the judges, who are all volunteers, and the staff at IMechE who put on this incredible event each year with new and exciting challenges for the teams.
Helen was joined by a plethora of guests including competitors, judges, FS staff and sponsors and a few special guests along the way. We discussed the legecy of the competition and what potnetial technical challenges the teams might face in the future.
