MRacing is track ready



We passed tilt early this morning and headed to design. The new 45-minute judging session proved to be an advantage. The extra time allowed the fine details of the MR-10 to be fully explained to the judges. All team members said they think it went well. We were judged by an engineer from the US Formula 1 team and he seemed positive about our car.

We then moved to noise, passing at 108.5dB. Braking went smoothly as well, despite traction problems accelerating in the rain. The officials intentionally failed us just because they wanted to see the MR-10 launch again.

Michigan is the 4th team to pass all tech checkpoints.

The team is breaking for lunch and preparing the car for this afternoon's cost event.
