GFC Team Consultants
The CAFE Foundation wants all of the GFC teams to compete with their best possible vehicles. Toward that end CAFE has arranged for those teams that have entered the Challenge to enjoy access to the following outstanding consultants, who have generously made themselves available.
If you wish to contact one of them please send your question to consultants@cafefoundation.org. Please include the consultant you would like to contact, your team affiliation, and your question(s).
Please be mindful that these are busy people and their time is valuable. Please extend the courtesy to our consultants of having distilled, specific questions. While a consultant may answer your questions for free they are professionals and may charge for services.
