MRACING FINISHES 2ND OVERALL

The podium results are as follows:

1st - Oregon State
2nd - University of Michigan Ann Arbor
3rd - TU Graz

The awards ceremony tonight was a long and decorated one for the Maize and Blue. MRacing received trophies and prize money for placing 2nd in endurance, 1st in acceleration, and 2nd in all dynamic events. The team also received trophies and money for winning the FEV Powertrain Development award (for outstanding fuel economy and acceleration performance) and the Joe Gibbs Simulation award (for Sumeet's hard years of work on his suspension simulation code). The prize money amounted to over $8000.

We would like to thank all our sponsors, family, friends, and alumni for the wonderful support you've given us. Your contributions directly contribute to our success. We are thrilled with our results and we are aiming for 1st place this August at Formula Student Germany.

GO BLUE!
