MRacing finishes top 10 in autocross

Garret was the first of our drivers to take the course this afternoon, laying down a competitive 68.814 and 65.424. His times were enough to hold on to 6th spot through the first round of drivers. They were bested by TU Graz, Maryland, and Stuttgart's second set of drivers, but Michael charged right back with a 64.670 and 64.111. This landed us a top 10 spot in the autocross event and a spot in the faster of the two heats in tomorrow's endurance race.

The MRacing team was presented with a trophy and $750 at tonight's award ceremony for taking first place in the acceleration event.


The University of Michigan Alumni association came out to support us during the autocross event today. The team shared their experiences with the alumni as we all watched the cars take to the track. The dean of the engineering college, David Munson, was in attendance and was thrilled with the success of our team. Thank you all for showing such strong support for us today!

Tomorrow will be the endurance race. The team is excited for a 22km battle between Europe and America's fastest cars. MRacing showed its potential this summer to be the fastest on track when we scored 2nd in dynamic events at Formula Student Germany, with Stuttgart coming in first. We hope to finish out the strong showing we have had so far at this competition.
