Velocity and Speed

About the Class

Speed!

Velocity and management of speed through angles of banking have impacted the design and function of race cars since NASCAR’s inception. Students will utilize a series of cars (remote, CO2 and future design) to determine the ideal speed on different track surfaces and banking to make project-based recommendations. Session includes program focus challenge in the computer-simulated race experience.
