Day 1: Practice

It's October 5th, and finally, we're in Sepang International Circuit. The first day started with the registration and scrutinising of all 10 cars by the PGMC 2012 Technical Committee (TC). Only four team members were allowed to be present during the inspection. I.C.E. Terminator were represented by Wan Faizal (leader), Zulkhairi (driver), Hanief (electric) and Azhari (mechanical).

After that, teams were allowed to go to the pit area and work on their cars. All concerns raised by the TC must be addressed before teams are allowed to practice on track. Due to multiple issues, we didn't manage to solve everything until it was too late to go onto the circuit.

Besides working on the car, we also have a group focusing on the pit displays.

When all the problems have been ironed out, it's time to charge the batteries for tomorrow's events. This is also the time to finalize the strategy and tidy up the car and pit area.
