The McGill Racing Team spent Saturday October 1st at the Mosport international karting track competing in the University of Toronto Shootout. The event featured 21 teams from around North America trying to click off the fastest lap possible through a technical autocross course. The McGill Racing Team was very competitive but Formula ETS took the honors of 1st place. Full results will be available soon but the team would like to thank  the University of Toronto FSAE for hosting such a fun event!

Sponsor Visit – Air Liquide

The McGill Racing Team and the McGill Baja Team visited a common sponsor here in Downtown Montreal, Air Liquide.  The generous group at Air Liquide donated a new welder, shielding gas and a grab-bag of welding supplies to be shared between both teams. This allows our teams to expedite our manufacturing process as well as train members in the art of welding. We were able to meet many of the employees, ask questions and share a great afternoon! Thanks!

Sponsor Visit – Verdun Anodization

The McGill Racing Team and the McGill Baja Team visited another common sponsor, Verdun Anodization.  These guys generously sponsor the anodization of many parts on the car, giving it not only different colors, but a more professional appearance!  Both teams also took a tour of the anodization plant, where they learned more about the process itself and got to see how their parts come out the way they do!

Sponsor Visit – Delhi Solac

The McGill Racing Team and the McGill Baja Team visited one of our common sponsors, Delhi Solac.  Year after year, Delhi Solac generously donates the steel tubes that are used to build our mild steel spaceframe.  Both the teams and Delhi Solac were really excited about the cars!  The team members got to take a tour of the factory and see exactly how a steel tube is made.  Very cool!
