An MSU-entered Formula 1 car was at the Michigan International Speedway last week as part of the 2009 International Formula SAE student design competition. The campus group of engineering majors was among more than 100 teams entered in the four-day event. Before racing, the cars underwent a series of rigorous qualifying inspections and tests, including 45- and 60-degree lift tests (above) to check for fluid leaks. SAE is the acronym for the Society of Automotive Engineers.
