FRUCD Competes in Michigan!
June 2024 Newsletter
The 2024 FSAE competition has ended with successful results for our team! For the first time since 2019, we have passed all technical inspections and competed in all four events. Last year we ranked second to last, but this year has set an upward trajectory with our team ranking 22 out of 79 teammates. Congratulations to all team members for their hard work this year paying off! We have improved so much over the past year and we greatly look forward to what our next competition has in store.
Note that our participation in the endurance event was not completed due to an issue with the hard brake system plausibility device, or hard BSPD, which is a safety system that prevents the driver from accelerating and braking simultaneously. This system faulted erroneously which stopped the car with no way to reset. Here is a breakdown of our final results.
Overall: 22nd
Design: 34th
Cost: 6th
Business: 38th
Acceleration: 17th
Skidpad: 13th
Autocross: 7th
We are wrapping up the season with a bittersweet ending as we say goodbye to our graduating seniors. We will greatly miss their hard work and commitment throughout the years. Congratulations to all the graduating seniors on our team and the team wishes you the best of luck in your future endevours.
With this season coming to an end, we’d like to extend a final thank you to all our sponsors, advisors, and alumni for their support. It has been integral in shaping this team into what it is today. We can’t wait to see the improvement next season will bring.
