We brought the car out to Buttonwillow's kart track and had pro driver Mike Sweeney help set up the car. I'll let the video do the rest of the talking.

What kind of feedback did he give your team?

From what I understand (I didn't go to the track with the team, I was otherwise occupied), he just helped set up the suspension and dial in our aero package. He's also going to make a trip down to our campus and give us some driver training.

Overall, he was quite impressed with the car; both in build quality and in speed.

Looks good, although the speed and radius regime of Buttonwillow seems very different than FSAE courses. You might find that you have more understeer in the car than you really want for Michigan. (I think you're going there, right?)

Nitpicking aside, stability looks good, and although the perspective makes judging dynamics hard, this looks like a great package. Looking forward to seeing it at MIS.

Did you guys recycle the front wing/nose cone from last year? Saw the Lincoln 2013 stickers.
