Engineer your racing car
During the Engineer your Career-event by the study Car Engineering in Arnhem, nobody is as busy as the TT-team. What does this team have what others don’t? A Formula 1 race game.
One less...my turn!
The Car-Engineering students are standing in line for the game. They wait until their fellow students finish the digital circuit of Monza, and climb out of the red cockpit with sweat on their foreheads. You can hear them think: ‘That one less, It’s almost my turn’. It is an ideal opportunity to show your mates that you are the very best driver.
Change tyres
The TT-team has, besides this, nothing with computer games or other games. ‘But we don’t have a tangible product to show the other students, like our neighbours have with their sunroof product,’ Sander Snellink, manager, explains. ‘With this game, we do draw the attention towards us. Last year we held a change-tyre competition. A little competition and interaction, that’s what the students like.’
No gear change
Next to the cockpit an employee of Cars and Stars stands. Cars and Stars is the company which has been hired by the TT-team. This company supplies the game and the cockpit, and the employee makes sure everything goes smoothly. ‘We have left the gear change behind; the steering, braking and accelerating is difficult enough,’ he laughs.
Pakistan
‘This is not only an eye-catcher,’ he continues. ‘The TT-team do-nates ten Euros to victim support services in Pakistan for every student who enters the cockpit. I think that is a gracious gesture.’
