Once the sun finally appeared on Sunday, there were a great many Packers fans who came to watch the airshow in Wisconsin.
The MGAS Team has been literally “hitting on all cylinders” these past couple of weeks.

We are done with all of the training for the first race here in Abu Dhabi and at the moment, the #99 Team is frustrated with our results.
The planes are almost together and some have already started “test flights”. There have been a lot of modifications done by the teams over the winter. Some are obvious and some are not.
