Formula SAE dynamic events started in earnest yesterday at Michigan International Speedway (click here for background on this university competition).
 
The first event of the day is a set of acceleration runs. The unofficial top five finishers (out of 93 teams) were:
 
1. TU Graz
2. UAS Graz
3. RIT
4. Penn State
5. Auburn
 
The second event is a set of skid pad runs done on a figure 8 course. Top five in skid pad were:
 
1. TU Graz
2. North Carolina State
3. Michigan
4. RPI
5. University of Evansville
 
Autocross was the final event of the day. This is a long and very twisty course. The first teams ran it in the dry, with teams running later in a downpour on rain tires. Unofficially the best time in the dry came from TU Graz, with the best wet time from Duke. We'll report back on how they adjust for this and on other scoring tomorrow. We'll also cover the final and critical endurance battle.
