During its exciting performance July 24 at @WeatherTechRcwy Laguna Seca in Monterey, Calif., @purdueairacing garnered praise from the race’s announcers, who gushed over the team’s talent.

In its first run in this @IndyAChallenge race, PAIR logged a speed of 131.713 — hundredths of a second behind the first-place team. In its second run, the car reached a high speed of 143.177 kph, a mere 1.236 seconds behind the race’s winner, Italy-based @PoliMOVE Autonomous Racing Team. PAIR’s best lap time was 90.567 seconds.

The commentators described Purdue as having an “outstanding engineering program,” adding, “I am very impressed with the poise and maturity of this young team.”

One of the announcers went on to say that, over the last 12 months, the team went through “a total reorganization,” and “you can see the exponential jump in performance.”

PAIR also drew accolades for pitting early (“they knew what they had up their sleeve”); expertly maneuvering through the track’s infamous Corkscrew (“beautiful line”); and decision making (“very impressive tactics”).
