HMS // 2023
HMS 23 is the 12th car produced by Husker Motorsports. The team worked to further improve our own custom decoupled heave/roll suspension that the previous years had started by further developing the teams vehicle dynamics software with sensitivity and drivability being the main goals. The Fifth year of the teams aerodynamics package saw a drastic change in how the aero package was both modeled and manufactured. The new wet-layup carbon mold solutions developed by the team improved the look of the carbon and improved manufacturing time significantly, the bare carbon bodywork showcases this well. For the second time ever, the team placed top 10 in design making them design finalists.
