Track Time

Seniors on Rose-Hulman’s Grand Prix Engineering team used their love of motorsports to create a capstone design project that resulted in a new and improved race car. The design team was joined by several underclassmen in building an all-new chassis, improving the fuel system for their one-cylinder engine, and fabricating a carbon fiber body. After many late nights designing new features and turning wrenches, the team took its vehicle for some track time at a local airport.
