2006

For the 4th time in FSAE history the “three-peat” has eluded the team once again. The team completed a massive redesign of the entire car which included the elimination of the rear engine bay and the shortening of the rear track. Cornell unfortunately was unable to finish the endurance event of the competition due to possible air bubbles in the cooling lines, which resulted in a massive cooling failure during the event. While this was very disappointing, the team was given two hours to rebuild the engine and participate in the Road and Track Magazine invitation only event. Miraculously the engine was rebuilt just in time, and the car started on the first try. Cornell Racing left the competition in its tracks, and gave other teams something to think about for the 2007 competition.
