We recently completed our time in Monza, Italy with the
@indyachallenge as part of the
@milanomonza_motorshow , and we couldn’t be more appreciative to our team members for the hard work that went into this event! There are plenty of “firsts” to celebrate…
🏎️ First time a
@dallaragroup AV-21 raced on a road course
🏁 First time an autonomous race car has raced on the famous F1
@autodromonazionale_monza road course
🪪 First time an autonomous motorsports vehicle has been granted an AI drivers license
We are proud to have represented North America, the US and Canada in particular, during the groundbreaking MIMO event. Our highest speed on the track was 101.2mph/162.8kph and our fastest lap time was 3:07, and we finished in fifth overall. This experience has been truly invaluable, providing our team with vital insights into road courses and a clear roadmap for our future development in the coming months.
Thank you to our testing team, who spent an extended period of time in Italy leading up to the event: Andrew Saba, Miriam Dukaye, Jatin Mehta, Connor Kirby, Ritesh Misra, Arjun Chauhan, Rotimi Adetunji, and Charlie King. Another thank you goes out to our team leadership: Rotimi Adetunji, Cindy Heredia and Alberto Arrighi who worked hard to make sure the team was aligned and prepared for this testing period.
Finally, thank you to our sponsors who made all of this possible to begin with:
