We apologize for the lack of updates; the blogging service we use has been down for the past day.

After design we fueled the car up and performed the required tilt test (to ensure that fluids don't leak during cornering) and noise test (to ensure that we don't deafen anybody). Although we passed both, we sprung a small leak in the cooling system during the noise test.

Once this was repaired we headed over to the cost event. Immediately after cost we performed the brake test, completing the full tech-in process and qualifying the car for dynamic competition.

At about 6:30pm we found out that we were one of 14 teams (listed below) to make design semi-finals which ran from 7-10pm. After design semi-finals, and with the sun set, we packed the car into the trailer and headed home for the night.

Semi-Finalists:
Global Formula Racing (Oregon State)
University of Michigan
Rochester Institute of Technology
TU Munich
University of Stuttgart
Cornell University
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
UAS Amberg Weiden
TU Graz
TU Zwichau
UAS Graz
University of Wisconsin
Universidad Simon Bolivar
Virginia Tech

Today, Thursday, we arrived at 8am to prep the car for the first two dynamic events: acceleration and skidpad. After a brief lunch break, and refueling of the car, we got in line for the autocross event.

While no scores have been officially released, we placed an unofficial third in acceleration with a time of 4.000 seconds.

Further updates will be provided in the morning. We apologize again for the lack of updates.
