They hope to have those ironed out soon for tomorrow\u2019s last day of racing.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-372096\"\/><\/p>\n<p>One of the standout performances of the day came from the University of Minnesota\u2019s team, whose Multi-Occupant Vehicle (MOV) consistently clocked some of the fastest lap times in its class. After failing to get their vehicle on the track yesterday, the University of California Berkeley\u2019s team also came out charging this morning, putting up a total of 56 laps (176.4 miles) and claiming 5th on the leaderboard.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is the last day for teams to reach the mileage required to compete in the American Solar Challenge (ASC) cross-country main event.<\/p>\n<p>To qualify, teams must either complete:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>205 miles (66 laps) in one day on the track<\/li>\n<li>Or 308 miles (98 laps) in two consecutive days on the track<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>ASC is a biannual event. During race seasons, the FSGP serves as a pre-qualifier for students to prove that their solar vehicles have what it takes to trek a rigorous 1,500+ mile journey from Tennessee to Wyoming. The 2024 Electrek ASC will start directly after the FSGP on Friday, July 19, in Nashville.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?quality=82u0026strip=all&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-large&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-372149&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:2048,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:1152,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1152\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"372149\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?quality=82&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=150,84 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=300,169 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=768,432 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=1024,576 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=1536,864 1536w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=350,197 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=140,79 140w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/53860908391_5eee5f4f9d_k.jpg?resize=1600,900 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\"\/><button class=\"lightbox-trigger\" type=\"button\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\" aria-label=\"Enlarge image\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\" data-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\"\/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg><br \/>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ETS team on day 2.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/storymaps.com\/stories\/9eabeed5ac894588af29d883b66d07e4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1137\" height=\"650\" data-id=\"371749\" src=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-371749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp 1137w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp?resize=150,86 150w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp?resize=300,172 300w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp?resize=768,439 768w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp?resize=1024,585 1024w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp?resize=350,200 350w, https:\/\/electrek.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/07\/Screenshot-2024-07-05-171113.webp?resize=140,80 140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1137px) 100vw, 1137px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Electrek American Solar Challange 2024 route.
