Student Quotes about Learn to Win
"Awesome event for [a] first year team - provided info on everything we asked and more, very motivational and inspiring!"
"[The engine workshop] was very helpful, we learnt a lot and Steve's enthusiam was passed on."
"The practical design workshop was useful as Gerard provided extra information and examples as well as being very friendly"
"The sponsorship workshop provided useful ideas which we had not even considered"
and finally the FS team's favourite quote of the day....

Thank you for all the comments, both relevant and irrelevant!
FS Steering Committee Chairman, Jon Hilton, Flybrid Systems, believes that "one of the key challenges in motorsport is ensuring that a team's resources are correctly directed towards the projects that will make the maximum contribution to success. At the Learn to Win event, teams have an opportunity to inform these key decisions and make the best use of limited student time and budget."
Richard Folkson's Feedback to run a great project
"The Boeing Commandments ": (based on the Boeing 777 project)
1) Targets drive Designs
2) Panic Early
3) No Secrets
4) Data driven decisions
The first means that all decisions should be driven by the teams objectives and targets
The second means treat every part of the project with urgency and do not leave things until later
Third means share information around the team and let others know if you are having problems or running late
Fourth - use data to make design decisions, not opinions or guesses
