U of M Solar Car Team Conducts Wind Tunnel Test of Ford-Sponsored Vehicle
Any race car driver will tell you that a car’s aerodynamics are an important factor in winning a race even when they have 700-horsepower engines hurtling them down the track. Fine-tuned aerodynamics is even more important when the only thing you have to power your car – across an entire continent – is the sun.
