About QFR 2009
 QFR2009
The 2009 Queen's Formula Racing Team brought two cars to the competition. As usual we entered the Class 1 category. However we also entered the previous years car as a Class 1 (200) entry which went on to win 3rd in Class. The Class 1 car was on course for a top 10 finish but was unfortunate to spin out of the endurance. The team did however recieve the National Instruments Award for ‘Best use of Data Acquisition in the Development of the Car'.
