The most prestigious of the Formula SAE events was held at Michigan International Speedway from May 14-18th. Joined by approximately 120 teams representing 20 countries from around the world, Wisconsin sported the number 1 in representation of last year's first place finish. The competition from overseas proved to be tough as the team finished 4th overall, the highest finishing U.S. team. First place went to the University of Western Australia, moving up from their 2nd place finish last year. 2nd and 3rd place went to the University of Stuttgart and the Technical University of Munich, respectively. Wisconsin was excited to see Stuttgart take 2nd place after having the opportunity of host the team in Madison for the week before competition. The two teams have developed a camaraderie since Wisconsin's visit to Germany in August 2007 for Formula Student Germany.

As the year draws to a close and planning begins for the 2009 car, the team would like to thank family, friends, and sponsors for their support. It takes an incredible amount of dedication to build a world-class racecar and it would not be possible without all of the support.
