Say Goodbye to MIS

June 26, 2010

Sunday will be our last day at MIS. We got an official result. Our vehicle didn't achieve minimum fuel economy to continue in the competition.

Our vehicle has not been tuned to such aggressive drive cycle. We wish we could have chance to practice ahead of time. Nevertherless, it has been a great adventure for all of us. We met a lot of talented people from othe... more »
