FORMULA HYBRID + ELECTRIC DAY 3

Zips Racing had great momentum going into today’s events. First, we started out with prepping our car for dynamic events. We had a small issue and some things to tweak before going out, but they were fixed quickly. We then went to Acceleration and were able to secure a second place finish with a time of 3.829 seconds. After, we took a break for lunch and to change our setup for Autocross. There we were able to secure a massive first place finish with a time of 40.308 seconds. We also had the amazing opportunity to make it to Design Finals and show off our hard work. To finish out the night, we got the team together for a competition wide pizza party.

We’re currently at the track prepping for Endurance tomorrow and can’t wait to see what the day brings. Wish us luck🏎️

FORMULA HYBRID + ELECTRIC DAY 1

Today was our first full day at the track, where we got our garage all set up (and decorated). The rest of our team joined us after a long drive and we went right to work.

Our day included passing EV Tech and most of Mechanical Tech before it closed for the day. We’re looking forward to continuing technical inspections tomorrow, as well as Design and Presentations🦘🏎️🌭
