We’re driving.

Over the weekend, NFR26 hit a major milestone as we official achieved first drive. After months of design, manufacturing, and testing the car officially took its first laps. Thank you to every team member, sponsor, alumni, and supporter who helped make this possible.

Keep an eye out for our unveil, and get excited for competition at Michigan this June.

We’re feeling nostalgic today: Swipe to see the evolution of NFR over the years!

From the nimble engine in our 2008 inaugural vehicle to the massive design overhaul to our powertrain system in NFR18, our team has always set sights on innovation. NFR16 boasted our first successful completion of endurance at comp, and NFR23, our first ever EV, set the stage for our team’s future.

Stay tuned for our NFR26 livery reveal!! Comment what you’d love to see on the car 👀

That’s a wrap! We ended our final day with a lap of endurance, where our false positive issues prevented us from going further, unfortunately. This comp was still a significant milestone for us: the first electric car with drive time pre-comp, the first electric car to pass all 6 technical inspections, the first electric car to compete in every dynamic event, and placed 23 out of 86 teams at the event. For those following our journey, thank you for the support, and we’ll see you next year!!
