The exhilarating world of off-road racing captivated competitors and fans at Baja SAE Williamsport, hosted by Pennsylvania College of Technology May 16-19.
Attracting 102 collegiate engineering teams from across the U.S., Canada and Brazil, the event concluded Sunday afternoon with an awards ceremony following the competition’s signature event, the four-hour endurance race. Penn College finished fourth in the endurance race, with Virginia Tech capturing first place out of the 89 teams that started the race. Penn College was one of just four teams to complete 50-plus laps in the final test. It’s the 15th top-10 finish for the team in the endurance race since 2011.
In overall standings, Penn College came in 10th, thanks in part to the home team posting two other top-10 finishes: fourth in suspension and traction and eighth in maneuverability. Five other contests were part of the competition. Capturing the overall first-place finish was École de technologie supérieure, a public research university from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Often referred to as ÉTS, it is affiliated with the Université du Québec system.
