Endurance Racing
Our ChampCar Endurance Racing program is dedicated to high-energy, wheel-to-wheel racing across the country. We compete in the ChampCar Endurance Series, where real street cars race continuously for durations ranging from 7 to 24 hours, depending on the event.
Founded in 2014, our team stands out as one of the few collegiate teams participating in this competitive series. We race alongside both seasoned professionals and passionate hobbyists, traveling to tracks across the nation each year.
Throughout the season, our students take on hands-on roles, modifying, repairing, and maintaining our ‘03 BMW 330i ZHP and ‘99 Mustang. We compete in the C-Class, attending several races throughout the year to showcase our team's skill, dedication, and innovation.
1999 Mustang
Over a decade ago, our endurance racing journey kicked off behind the wheel of a 1999 Ford Mustang. It has carried us through countless races, building memories and sharpening our competitive edge until its retirement in 2022. Today, it lives on as a dynamic learning platform—an ongoing project that offers our team hands-on experience in automotive mechanics, with future plans to support driver development and testing.
2003 bmw
In February 2024, we debuted our 2003 BMW 330i ZHP at the 14-hour ChampCar race at Road Atlanta, completing 208 laps, taking the checkered flag. Our second race with this car was March 2025 at NCM Motorsports Park in Kentucky where despite rainy conditions, we secured 1st place in our class and 3rd overall, an outstanding achievement for our first race of the season.
We continue to refine and improve the BMW throughout the year to make it as competitive on the track as possible. In preparation for our races, we participate in autocross events throughout the year, allowing us the opportunity to learn the weaknesses in our car and fix them.
