This morning, PULSAR was seen internationally as a part of CNN International’s coverage of the Shell Eco-Marathon. Further, the car and many of the team members were seen on live Los Angeles television and will be interviewed again this afternoon.
PULSAR was the first car to successfully complete both the technical and safety inspections. The team is currently finishing up some final preparations for our first test run and should be on the track shortly. We will post the results of each run as they happen, and be sure to check back tonight for pictures from the day!
