It has been a month since competing at Michigan International Speedway Michigan International Speedway🏁🏎️

Every year we have the amazing opportunity to be surrounded by others passionate in formula and engineering. At competition, our team is able to spend lots of time working and learning together, leading to some great team bonding and creating core memories!

For our results at competition, we made it through the tractive battery, chassis structural, and mechanical tech tests; scoring highly in every event. We nearly completed EV active tech and were able to spin our outboard wheel motor several times before reliability issues prevented us from finishing EV active.

Since returning home, our team has been hard at work on the Go4-27 to ensure we’re even stronger next year!

Here’s how to get to The Whole in Coffman where our unveiling event will be held this Wednesday, May 13th at 5:30 pm. Note that there is another entrance to Coffman near East River Garage Parking that leads you to the first floor, so you’ll only go down one floor instead of two.

Without their help and the support from our wonderful sponsors, we wouldn’t be able to push forward with our car. As a reminder, our Unveil event is on May 13th!! Pull up to see all the hard work our members are putting into the Go4-26
