It’s a Sunday morning, you’re taking a relaxing walk through Daytona Beach’s Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus and then you hear it. Race car? Where?

I saw some dudes in ERAU FSAE shirts while at IKEA this weekend.

Alex has a cool Porsche too:

The most pre-competition testing I've heard of was 720 miles for the Texas A&M team in 2017.
Their finishing position reflected this.
