Our fourth involvement with the NUS FSAE Race Car project was in 2009. We secured a number of press and media for the project including a full documentary for local TV. We were privileged to serve a bunch of dedicated, disciplined and passionate group of student racecar engineers We were also a 2009 Silver Sponsor for the project.

We organised a talk by Steve Slater on 20 August 2009 to the NUS Mechanical Engineering Faculty who gave an engaging talk to over 350 students on the engineering aspects of the Formula One racecar through its history. Prof Chan Eng Soon, dean of the NUS Faculty of Engineering, later presented Steve with a token of appreciation. Two NUS FSAE race cars were also put on display while the question and answer session continued between students and fans of the popular celebrity F1 commentator from ESPN Star Sports (PDF Press Release).
