Twenty two students, lead by 5 professors worked together on this years formula SAE project. From May 13th to the 16th the Ravens Racing team competed at the Michigan International Speedway Formula SAE event against ~120 other teams. The team competed in a series of events which ranged from Cost, Design, Marketing Presentation, Acceleration, Skid Pad, Autocross, and Endurance. Carleton’s team this year was honored in making it to the design semi-finals with the top 13 teams.

Future Plans
The RR09 car is to be fixed up over the summer, for baseline testing in the fall to compare with the soon to be built RR10 car. Preliminary design for the RR10 car has been completed over the past year, and review and manufacturing is to begin in the fall as part of Carleton’s FSAE program.
