The group placed 10 out of 32 entries in the 90 minute race. In the four hour heat, Team USA had a bolt puncture in one of the tires, but still managed to finish 32 out of 74 teams. Even though Sunday's rainy weather proved to be a challenge for all of the drivers, Huntsville's entry was honored with the Siemens "Innovation Award" for their car design. The Huntsville students were one of only three teams to gain a spot in the finals on their first attempt.
