Auburn Engineering hosted more than 1,000 college students from around the globe April 20-22 for Baja SAE Auburn 2012. Teams went head-to-head with their off-road vehicles on a specially designed course at Auburn’s National Center for Asphalt Technology, competing in design and technical inspection, as well as acceleration, land maneuverability, hill climb and a four-hour endurance race. Cornell University’s team placed first overall, earning 955.86 points, while Oregon State and Rochester Institute of Technology placed second and third with 936.16 points and 875.97 points, respectively. The Auburn car finished 22nd with 625.39 points as the young team struggled with fuel line problems during Sunday’s endurance race.
