MRacing made the run up to the stage twice at last night's awards ceremony, once for winning the acceleration event and again for placing 2nd in the competition!! Both times we were jumping up and down singing "It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!"

Cost: 48th (63.92 points)
Design: 5th (125 points)
Skidpad: 6th (59.96 points)
Acceleration: 1st (75 points)
Autocross: 3rd (96.78 points)
Endurance: 2nd (287.6 points)

Overall: 2nd (814.89 points)
TU Delft took 1st place (866.56 points), and UAS Zwickau took 3rd (776.87 points)
The team will be returning to the States tomorrow.
Damage assessment: Our rear anti-roll bar broke during the endurance race and our .100" thick oil pan had all its material scraped off from bottoming out. The track had two sections where cars were being thrown into the air. Before the race we added a layer of JB-weld to the bottom of the oil pan for some added safety and that seems to have saved us. One more hit and the pan would have broke, and we would not have finished endurance!
The team would like to send a giant thank you to all our sponsors, family, and supporters for helping us get this far! Our success would not be possible without you!!
