Principia Solar Car continues to shine, ending Day 2 with an impressive 122 laps. The team holds steady in second place, trailing ETS with 141 laps and ahead of Illinois State with 96 laps.
The day was characterized by cloudy skies, rain, and strong winds. With wet roads, all the solar cars decided to slow down for safety. Despite the challenging weather, Principia’s car had no breakdowns, only stopping to pit or wait for more sunlight to emerge from the clouds. The team’s two drivers for the day, Sebastian Kyllonen and Avery Hansen, navigated these conditions with skill and caution.
Notably, five more teams made it onto the track, increasing the competition.
Thursday marks the last day of raycing, and the final report will be posted tonight. Principia Solar Car continues to demonstrate their resilience and expertise in this rayce.
