Finished endurance!

We have just completed endurance with no reliability problems. The car is at the fuel station for a fuel consumption measurement and will be impounded for a standard technical inspection. Michael drove the first half of the race, posting competitive times among Stuttgart, TU Graz, Maryland, and Oregon State. Stuttgart was easily the fastest car on course until a drivetrain failure took them off the track. Missouri S&T was also unable to finish the race after a cone broke their front wing. ETS was not allowed to finish the race due to an oil leak.

No problems were found with our car at the mid-race driver change. Garret found himself in a heated battle with RIT for his half of the race. The RIT driver caught up to Garret shortly after entering the track and Garret was flagged to allow RIT to pass. Garret fought right back and was able to pass RIT a few laps later. RIT stayed right on Garret's tail until he completed the 22 kilometers.

The team is very proud of continuing our string of three successful competitions in a row. There are still many cars waiting to do their endurance race, as well as design finals tonight. The overall placement of MRacing at this competition is highly dependent on the endurance, fuel economy, and design final scores. We will post the results as soon as we find out.
