The best way to prepare for the enduro?

Give them one or more good German beers!
Don't think, just drive the race.
Vin did't have sex this year, did he? Wink

Seriously: Every driver has its own way to prepare for the enduro. There's no special secret recipe for it. I remember the RMIT driver at Formula Student 2004 was just burping prior the enduro.
So, let it flow....

In joke but but very funny post. I have just endured Rotors little sister burping throughout the AFL plim. final (football).Our team Port Adelaide won by 1 goal.
Grand Final next week

Boy, it's been a while since I've posted on this thing.

Indeed, at FS2004, I did not have sex before the enduro!..... I don't think it woulda helped find that extra second we were off the pace from Mark though! I have no idea where that kid gets his speed from...must be the vast experience and talent. Cause I was lapping consistently quick, but no match for Mark.

Jaguar is selling their F1 team, Big Bird, care to start an FSAE All-Star lineup and buy out Jag??!!

Cheers,

Vinh

I've got some student loans that could be diverted to buy... a used wheel, perhaps.

Jan, true story.
Gerhard Berger would have a shot of Schnapps before the start of an F1 race!

Many years ago I tried driving a kart after 1 beer, I felt like I was 30 metres behind the action. Riggsy couldn't complete a lap without at least one spin but seem to remember he had 2 beers and weighed around 65kg.
Driver Prep? Simple. Find the Tardis, go back in time to age 5 and start Karting. And make sure both of your parents raced.

Bryan, I needed some of them during the endurance because of my own excitement.
Alcohol directly prior the race makes you slow. (tested on German "Autobahn" Wink)

Hey, what a cool idea. I had ideas about working in F1 one day, but what the heck, let's buy a team. Who's up for the first single cylinder F1 car?? They'll eat us on the straights, but we'll kill them on fuel economy Smile

And Vinh, I think you've finally stumbled upon the secret to our success. Pre-event abstinence all round at RMIT - but that's more to do with our haircuts and lack of social skills than any planning. Hey, if it works....

Cheers,
