Thursday saw the beginning of a great commitment for several team members. Mitch and Nick, the primary drivers for the 2010 Sunseeker, began their driver's training. It was Mitch's turn on the road as he took the 2005 Sunseeker for a short drive south of town. Several other team members also partook in this as crew members in the chase and lead vehicles.
Tonight the team began to prepare the mold for building the body. We scraped out pieces of tape, sanded down rough sports and then applied surface coat to the mold to fill in any damaged areas. We planing on beginning to lay the fiberglass and carbon fiber within a week, so the car will soon come to life.

About Me
- WMU Solar Car Team
- Western Michigan University students join to design and build a solar powered vehicle that utilizes state of the art technology. Students have the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to a hands-on project to achieve a common goal. The culmination of the project is the biennial, cross-country, international, intercollegiate American Solar Challenge. A test of the efficiency, safety and durability of the solar vehicles. WMU has participated in every ASC and is one of only four universities to have done so. The team also promotes the use of renewable alternative energy and the advancement of related technologies by educating the public through the presentation and demonstration of a solar powered vehicle at schools, museums, energy fairs, car shows, parades and other special events.
