Chelsea suffered from budget cuts and loss of funding for a while during build season. Many lessons were learned with time management, as a biproduct of only having one test day during the spring, she did not finish Endurance due to a rear wing main spar failure. no notable results came out of 2024, but a complete mindset shift happened after competition leading into the 2025 competition. Chelsea also had “Ram Ducts” on the sidepods that chocked the air flow too much and caused her to overheat during a fall test day. Chelsea also suffered an engine failure on her first attempted drive, two pistons were installed backwards. on this same first drive the carbon steering wheel sheared in half. Chelsea will not be missed.
