Chalmers '05 pre-shipping pictures

[Ragnar Burenius]

Thought I should post some pictures of our '05 car prepared for the Formula SAE West competition. It left port yesterday so we can pick it up on the other side of the ocean in about a month. See you in LA!

Just styling. Our designers tend to find inspriration from old formula cars, in this case the Ferrari shark nose.

So it's like air conditioning, cool. We take off the nose cone on hot days lol.

Very nice car. It's weird to hear that you are shipping it this early. By the way, what kind of wheels are those? Size and weight?

The wheels are our own design, 13" 1.5 kg.
