After months of hard work, UCSD SAE’s latest car, TR-9E, finally made its appearance at the Formula Hybrid Competition held at the New Hampshire International Speedway. The car performed remarkably, winning 3rd place in its class of electric vehicles, and placing 9th overall.

The car also got the second best time in its first and only Autocross run of the day. Unfortunately, due to technical malfunctions on the part of the event’s organizers, this time was not recorded.

Below are pictures from the competition:
