Today marks a significant milestone for the Principia Solar Car team as they successfully completed all phases of scrutineering, finishing 8th out of 32 teams. This accomplishment secures their spot to start 8th on the track. The team tackled minor fixes, including adjusting lights and ensuring one driver passed the wet brake tests, wrapping up the process with ease.
The day began with an 8 AM meeting, followed by a comprehensive track tour for the drivers to familiarize themselves with all the turns and no-passing zones.
To celebrate this achievement, the team enjoyed a well-deserved dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. However, the journey doesn’t end here. With the track ahead, the team remains committed to continuous preparation and improvement.
Principia Solar Car is now poised for the next phase, eager to showcase their dedication and hard work on the track.
