Well I have not seen one of these threads yet for 2012, so I figured I'd start one.

At least for Michigan going teams, is still post comp drunk madness or countrywide driving :P

I'm still at Randy's BBQ.

2012? We're still a week away from a running 2011 car for Cali!

....Seriously?

Picking tires, teams, etc for next year. Hopefully our car gets done much earlier next year.

Just where my last drunken behemoth madness started in 2009!!. Great place, altough i didn´t go to 2006 comp..sort of Big Bucks replacement isn´t it?

I've started some of the initial planning for our engine program here, but otherwise I am still recovering. Right now the priority is get the old car in tip top shape and do some data gathering.

Constructed the team's structure, recruited all members, reading and acquiring knowledge, learning SolidWorks, determined financial priorities, and making some brainstorming sessions to develop some innovative ideas .

Deciding if we are going to switch to a Baja car this year...nah...

Bajahahahahah

Finish thesis or work on 2012 car?.... decisions decisions.

We could probably built our new car and then build a ba-ha car before the actual ba-ha team manages to build one... Just sayin.

We are currently choosing our tires our engine. We've finished our suspension design and are now moving on to chassis design.

We'll probably go back and iterate the suspension once we've chosen our tires. We've got a lot of work to do....

Chassis inserts and nose/AI.

Check us out on twitter, @knightsracing. We've been posting pictures and updates as progress has been made.

Some updates from AMZ at ETH Zürich:

We have started the manufacturing phase of umbrail, our 2012 car about a month ago and things are going quite well. We are posting pictures on our facebook page (amzracing) as we have new parts coming. A newsletter presenting the design of umbrail with some renderings should be out in mid february.

Also we registred for 4 Events this year:
- FS UK
- FS Austria
- FSE Germany
- FS Spain

Bye

Is anyone from AMZ actually going to university this year? lol I hope you guys do well, it will be interesting to compare back to back events for so many competitions in one year.

Good question Matthew =) Yes we do. But we find lectures quite boring so alot of guys work on FSAE =). At the moment we have "exams" so things are going a bit slower!

GT Motorsports had its first drive day of its new car 67 on December 16th.

We started 67's build on September 23rd. Our website shows pictures of how the build went.

Hey guys!

Have fun reading!

Hi Alex,
the new car looks awesome and I really like you being that open with your design. It will hopefully inspire other electric teams.
I hardly can't wait to see electric cars with aero using the full potential of their torque characteristics to blast through the cones.
