After experiencing setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic, the University of Kansas solar car team unveiled their first solar car, Astra, on the lawn of Learned Engineering Expansion Phase 2 Wednesday. KU Solar Car expects to compete in this year’s Formula Sun Grand Prix, a solar car race that universities across the country participate in.  KU Solar Car’s program director Michael Srimongkolkul, a senior from Leawood, organized the club in 2017 along with fellow engineering students Zachary Hall and Lance Erickson. For about two years, the club focused on research and fundraising for their project.  “Right now we re just working on finishing the mechanical components, like getting our suspension all together and mounted,” Srimongkolkul said. “Optimistically, I d say right now we re probably about 70% done. We certainly run into challenges, but we’ve managed to come on top of most of them, and we’re still tracking to get to competition this summ
