With 15e, CMR was able to build off 14e’s success to create a car that exceeded its predecessor in every way. The team learned from last year’s experience how to be better prepared for the challenges that we would face in building an electric race car, and the results was a car that was significantly more cohesively designed. The enormous efforts invested in this car by the whole team paid off at the FSAE Hybrid competition in New Hampshire in the spring, as this car outperformed nearly every competitor. In the design category, 15e came up with a huge first place finish, and earned second place overall. Additionally, CMR was able to bring home the IEEE Excellence in Electric Vehicle Engineering award, a big honor for the team. The success of 15e puts the team in an excellent position to further excel at next year’s competitions. At the summer competition in Lincoln, Nebraska, CMR came away with a third place finish in the design category, and an 8th place finish overall in a strong field of competitors.
