I may call up to watch if I'm free, I'm not part of my uni's team this year though.
When is it Rich? And is it free to spectators Saturday and Sunday, as usual?

The Formula Student competition only uses the main staright for the accelration test, and the complex before it (can't remember the name) for the time trial and endurance events.

I'm not involved in it, I used to be though.
And no, there is no side by side racing as such - in the endurance event all the cars run on track simultaneously, but the coned track is too narrow for racing and for that reason overtaking lanes are used.

I'm not directly involved with the team, just been teaching them Powertrain this year and keeping an eye on the engine side of things.
You can't enter the car in any other events.
