HMS 24 is the 14th 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 sixth year of the teams aerodynamics package saw higher complexity geometry due to the purchase of a new CNC router. 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.
