2008 Element One Rotterdam Pit Crew
The Rotterdam Pit Crew was a selected group of Element One members who traveled to the first race of the Formula Zero Championship in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in August 2008 to ensure all systems of the vehicle were fully functional and operational in a safe manner during race events. The Pit Crew worked day in and day out, determined to complete assembly of the vehicle before the first race. Unfortunately, it was the vehicle's ground clearance that prevented these dedicated engineers from getting their kart on the track. Nonetheless, the team managed to get the vehicle assembled in five days (a feat that usually takes months to achieve) and performed a vehicle test run at the Formula Zero Rotterdam Facility the evening of the first race. After a display of sheer willpower and hard work, the Element One team earned the reputation of 'the team to beat' in future races. The names of these devoted and hard working engineers are listed in the table below.

“Lisa Fremont: Surprise is the most important element of attack. And besides, youre not up on your private eye literature. When theyre in trouble its always their girl Friday who gets them out of it.
L.B. Jeffries: Well, is she the girl who saves him from the clutches of the seductive show girls and the over passionate daughters of the rich?
Lisa Fremont: The same.
L.B. Jeffries: Thats the one, huh? But he never ends up marrying her, does he? Thats strange.”
—John Michael Hayes (b. 1919)
“Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”
—Erich Fromm (19001980)
“Nor aught availed him now
To have built in heavn high towrs; nor did he scape
By all his engines, but was headlong sent
With his industrious crew to build in hell.”
—John Milton (16081674)
