And We’re Off!!

Our intrepid truck and trailer crew.

 

Zephyr is ready to ship after a year of hard work, and departed for Texas this afternoon! She will arrive at Circuit of the Americas in Texas on Sunday July 2nd. While Zephyr still needs a few final adjustments after her multi-day journey, we are confident she will be ready for Scrutineering on Monday.

 

The past few weeks have been a flurry of preparation and testing, and many teammates have been putting in long hours at our workshop at the Richmond Field Station. We had time to hold dynamics tests this week to gauge our preparedness for scrutineering, and took careful care to replicate conditions at the race.

Finally, we would like to make a shout-out to everyone who worked so diligently on making Zephyr Rayce-ready this year! Thank you as well to all of our loyal sponsors: without your help none of this would be possible. We are excited to see the fruit of our labors at Formula Sun Grand Prix 2017, and hope to make this Zephyr’s best Rayce yet!
