Development Hours for “Informal Activity”
The Presentation
Auto racing is an intense crucible that tests a
vehicle's and driver’s capabilities, but even more so when racing on a low
friction surface, like ICE. This presentation will focus on driving techniques
used in ice racing and performance driving.
While it may be slower, it's no less exciting! We will cover the similarities and
differences compared to driving on high-grip surfaces.
The Race
After the presentation, we will apply the
lessons in a one-hour Le Mans-style kart race at Speedworld! Teams assigned to
each kart will race against each other to complete as many laps as possible
before time runs out!
Teams will
be a mix of SAE students, professional SAE members, and other guests. This is a
great networking opportunity for students and professionals alike!

competitions in his chosen sport of autocross. He's created, refined, and
instructed at a local autocross racing school that has helped hundreds of

years.

world-class UMSAE student organization here in Manitoba. Together, they form
one of the largest student member groups in the world. This event celebrates
their participation in SAE, their contribution to the industry, and their role

professional members a chance to show their support for the students by
contributing to this event.
