Recently, the MHS Racing team competed in the Formula Student USA National Track Dayat Road America near Elkhart Lake, WI—and they came away as champions.
The team claimed first place overall, achieving both the fastest single lap and the fastest three-lap average of the two-day event. They narrowly edged out strong performances from Plymouth and Port Washington to secure the top spot.
Middleton was one of the few teams to field multiple entries, and all three of their cars finished in the top seven—1st, 6th, and 7th—in a highly competitive field of 29 cars.
Formula Student USA is a national engineering and fabrication competition for high school students that challenges teams to design, build, and test open-wheel style cars. Students apply real-world STEM skills in areas such as design, fabrication, data analysis, and project management. The National Track Day event brings teams together to test their vehicles’ speed, handling, and reliability on a professional road course.
This event marks the culmination of nine months of hard work for the MHS Racing team. Since September, students have been designing, building, and modifying their cars. Countless hours were spent after school to ensure their vehicles were competitive and track-ready.
This program is made possible through the incredible support of the community. Generous sponsors such as Middleton Motorsports and Plastic Ingenuity, along with dedicated parent volunteers, have played a vital role in the team’s success—helping with everything from logistics and mentoring to providing critical resources and guidance throughout the season.
Congratulations to all the team members, mentors, families, and community partners who contributed to this outstanding achievement!
