A few engineers recently went to Auto City Speedway in Clio, MI to test the handling and reliability of the car at low speeds. I test drove the car for 35 miles at around 35mph on the small, half-mile track. There is a cross in the middle of the circuit so we had a blast driving some large figure eights. However, the support vehicles were the university minivans, which handled the course worse than Infinium. Sudeep and Kevin each had a chance to drive Lead while Jeremy followed in Chase.

It was a warm day, but I was driving just fast enough for the air duct to function; there were no fairings on, so a lot of air was scooped into the cockpit.

It was a good test and we got to put some miles on Infinium. Nothing broke down, but the excessive turning wore out the tires a lot. I was covered in rubber at the end of the day--a good reminder to implement wheel covers! The team looks forward to more testing here and also at other tracks around Michigan.
