Team MOD win Regional Final!

On the 23rd November Team MOD woke early in the morning and drove to Coventry’s Ricoh Arena. The event? The Central England Regional Final!

We set up our large stand in the central hall of the Arena, along with over a dozen teams of all age groups. Our massive display boards made for an impressive, bedecked as they were with laminated pages from our portfolio and pictures of the team. The stand really accentuated our team’s graphic identity and served as a display pen for our previous seasons’ cars and our portfolio.

Our portfolio was judged late in the morning. Mick Gibson from Jaguar (and colleagues) were very impressed with the record of our design process. Their obvious approval really buoyed the teams’ confidence!

Fresh from our first hurdle, we were feeling optimistic. Soon after, we performed our verbal presentation to a pair f judges from Jaguar. We carried this off well and, with all the nail-biting events over, we waited patiently for our race.

Thanks to Louis’ brilliant reaction times, the car performed well. The car’s race speed was fairly impressive (about 1.35 secs average) but we knew we would have to bump this up.

After we had completed our missions for the day we were quietly confident (well maybe a little bit cocky ). We were bang on the money however, as we scooped the 1st place award for our age group (16+). We were jubilant: all our hard work had been richly rewarded!

Now all we had to do was raise our game for the National Finals…
