Element One - 2008 Element One Rotterdam Pit Crew

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.

Famous quotes containing the words element, pit and/or crew:

    Other sins only speak; murder shrieks out:
    The element of water moistens the earth,
    But blood flies upwards, and bedews the heavens.
    John Webster (1580–1625)

    It’s well
    If God who holds you to the pit of hell,
    Much as one holds a spider, will destroy,
    Baffle and dissipate your soul.
    Robert Lowell (1917–1977)

    “10 April 1800—
    Blacks rebellious. Crew uneasy. Our linguist says
    their moaning is a prayer for death,
    ours and their own.
    Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
