2011 wrap up

2011/07/05 @ 05:07:15 PM

At the conclusion of 2011, the University of Maryland Placed 4th overall in the FSAE West 2011 event, and finished 2nd in the Dynamic events.  This year was quite a test of the Maryland team, as extremely aggressive changes to the aerodynamic system and other features of the car were made.  The team, led by Ben Brooke, was faced with many difficulties at the event, including regulating the sound output of their motor.  The team spent all day friday getting their car through tech inspection, and finally succeeded.  2011 will be known for a great team that worked till the bitter end and never gave.  Perseverance won this time.   Way to go Terps Racing!
