Editor's Notes
- When I turned 18 I got my first car and after spending too many hours in the garage I managed to improve both performance and appearance.
- The result was a 4th placement of 54 competitors and that is the best result a beginners team ever have had in the that competition.
- During 2004 I worked as an employee at the Koenigsegg manufacturing plant. Here I got the possibility to learn how a car come together from the first small bit and pieces to engine building, gearbox assembly, electricity wiring and final assembly to a finished car. My role during this time was to manufacture carbon fibre parts but I also worked in collaboration with Christian von Koenigsegg to designe some aerodynamic upgrades that will improve performance and set the car aside from other super sportcars. During the vacation of the department manager I managed to increase production rate of carbonfibre parts.
- The result is, in my mind, the most beautiful super sportscar there is. And I am especially proud of this picture since I have been part of building this specific car.
- During the weekends in the summer of 2004 I worked as Race engineer for a driver in Porsche Carrera Cup Scandinavia. I was responsible for the car setup, that is adjustments of shock absorbers, springs, wheel angles and everything concerning dynamic behaviour of the car. I also got experience from working within a racing team and got a taste for the adrenaline involved in the business.
- So why should you pick me? Well, I have a practical background from all my time spend in a garage. I have experience from building both racingcars and supersports cars so I belife I understand the different problems involved in the process. I have racing experience from previous work. The project have proven itself both in windtunnel and practical tests.
