FSAE Lincoln 2018

The team competed with the MF-6 racecar at the FSAE Lincoln 2018 competition from 20-23 June. Overall, Mines placed 36th out of 67 competing IC engine teams. Although this is down from the previous year, the team saw major improvements in the vehicle. MF-6 weighed in 45 lbs lighter than MF-5 and saw a major increase in power, putting out over 80 whp. Although the car was visibly faster on the track than last year, it unfortunately suffered a drivetrain failure during the endurance race caused by a misaligned drive sprocket. While this news was heartbreaking, we are very proud of the machine we've built, and we look forward to applying the lessons we've learned to continue improving.
