Competitions

Historically Cornell Baja has only competed in the Baja Midwest Competition, but in 2009 they competed in three Baja competitions across the country--performing well in all of them.  Although Cornell Baja innovated in 2009, their focus was to optimize their design and test the durability of their car throughout the three grueling competitions.
