The 2010 race crew has brought back Michigan's 3rd straight National Championship and 6th overall.  Infinium crossed the finish line 2 hours 12 minutes and 9 seconds ahead of the second place team Minnesota, the official stands can be found here.

Over the course of 6 days, Infinium traveled 1,100 miles averaging 40 mph, which is amazing considering the number of stop lights on this route!  The race crew only had 15 minutes on the side of the the road making a minor electrical repair. To bring back a championship the team had to run a flawless race.  Any downtime or penalties could have cost the team the race, but the team worked hard during the months prior to the race to ensure this didn't happen.

With the race now over, the team turns its sights to the 2011 project.  More pictures from the race should be uploaded in the near future.

Infinium cruised smoothly into Alton at 1:30PM in first place.  The University of Minnesota was on and off our tail all morning; Infinium would pull ahead of them on corners and then get stuck in traffic allowing their car to catch up.

At the checkpoint we were able to gain a good charge and leave with a 2 minute lead on Minnesota.  The team will not reach Normal this evening, so the race crew will be looking for a spot to camp for the night.

After cruising into Jefferson City this afternoon, Infinium continued to fly down the road.  The strategists decided to throw the hammer down and it paid off.  Infinium is now 50 miles outside Rolla with Standford sitting 30 plus miles back on the route. Minnesota and Bochum, 2nd and 3rd place, are currently about 60 miles behind Michigan.

Cruising at the speed limit does take a toll on Infinium's battery pack, but after an evening and morning charge the battery will be plenty full to drive full speed into Rolla!

The race crew awoke this morning relaxed and refreshed.  Team members worked hard to secure a good morning charge, so Infinium could sprint the 100 remaining miles to Topeka.

Infinium is currently on the road and expected to reach Topeka before Noon.  The team has confirmed Bochum is 20 miles behind Infinium, but not sure on race time.

Look for more pictures and official updates once we reach the stage stop.

Sunrise: Luckily the clouds cleared before we began charging.

Infinium rolled over the start line at Noon! Since Infinium won the Formula Sun Grand Prix, the team was the first to leave Tulsa. All the work race crew has put into this moment, now comes down to 6 days. Everyone is excited to show how great of a car Inifinium is, and how well the race crew can perform.

We are expecting good weather this afternoon and should hit Neosho in a couple hours. For more frequent updates, be sure to watch the live chat, but the team will try its best to keep the blog updated with news and pictures.

We also wish the best of luck to our competitors. Hopefully all teams will run a smooth and safe race.

Waiting: Steve and Gerald wait with the car right before launch.
