Sponsor Meeting

80'Another day, Another Sponsor.'




Went to Cubic for sponsor...Huge factory




Had a meeting with University Technology Malaysia Melaka(UTEM). Beautiful place, nice building, talented professors.





- Entrance to the engineering department

We had a meeting with the board of professors in the engineering faculty. Don't ask, it was scary. Jim literally froze and didn't know what to say. We didn't know what to do at first without the great speaker, Joel. Finally, Jim gave a marvellous presentation in the helpless situation. He can't do anything but speak. "What is F1 In schools? What we need? What is the drag of the car? ......." Kudos to Kell Jim! Picture this: We went there unprepared without any presentation whatsoever and they ( the professors), were all set ready to fire tons of firepower worth of questions. So dead were we. Obviously.




The end results were promising though. The guys back there were so impressed with Jim's presentation, they agreed to sponsor us and even lend us a big helping hand by contributing ideas to our car design. They even allow us to have full access to their machines for our manufacturing purposes.

Job well done to the nitrates it is, life is a speedway!
