Day 14/15 - We are on TV :)

Sunday... Without our kart around, it was a rather easy day.

A bit of chilling, mixed with some revision, plus some preparation for the upcoming academic project presentation, a great way to get refreshed.


Early in the Monday morning, we were meeting the media crew outside our motel at 6:30am, travelling all the way to Indianapolis which is 60 miles away.

Getting ready for the 9am start of the show, we had a quick run through with the crew to make sure we all knew what's going to happen and not acting like a fool in front of the camera.

We also had a casual chat with the hosts of the show, Tracy (Male) and Andi (Female), while waiting for the call.
Some good promo photos were taken.

To end the show on a high note and give our audience a sneak peek, we had a few showcase laps with the EVC team around the outdoor carpark.

That was definitely some great exposure to the media for the morning!
After a quick pack up, we headed back and stopped half way for a well-deserved breakfast.

Gonna spend the rest of the afternoon working in the pits again...
