Hi Ben,
What happened to you in autocross? Your relative performance looks down compared to East. I was secretly hoping you had the pace to knock those pesky singles off.
Well done though, awsome to see more USA teams travelling again and doing well too. Did you and Akron Share travel, accomodation etc?
Got any photos to post?

Pete.

Awesome job RMIT! Seems every time I check the forums here there's more good news. Anyone got some more pics?

Congrats RMIT!!

Jake, you've set a bloody good record throughout your time at RMIT FSAE. Maybe you should think about postgrad to keep an eye on things over the next few years, I'm sure Simon will be trying to persuade you....

Great news, looking forward to seeing some pics. I'm also looking forward to seeing some pics of Smeagle tanning up in Florida in his Hawaiian shirt and little umbrella cocktail in hand. Any chance Smeagle? C'mon, put one on for the crowd....

Top work to all the team, where to next?? Will be keen to see the hall of fame when I'm back that way in December.

Hahahaha!! Fat chance seeing Smeagle tanning away in Florida, he is back here working with me at Boeing.

Also what was the final score tally?

Well done to Jake and the rest of the team. 2 from 2 is a sensational effort.

Postgrad for Jake drummy??? He's got to pass his undergrad first!

God I miss you Drum

Hey Pete:
We had what I believe was the 3rd fastest raw time in autocross but barely picked up a single cone on that run, which really knocked us back, very unfortunate.

Photos will be up soon, as I just have to get them from the other guys. We didn't share accomodation with Akron, as camped with the rest of the crazies in the mud of the areas around Silverstone. Not too sure if I'd go for that again there...just more of a hassle than it's worth.

Congrats to RMIT, the car is just hella fast...

Congrats RMIT! Another well-deserved title!

Results!

Congrats to RMIT and to the Delft07 team! (3rd FSG06, 2nd FSUK07, 1st FSG07 ?? )

Congratulations to RMIT - looking at the scores for Endurance, it must have been a great view to see the Delft car and the RMIT car going around the track too bad I decided to stay at home this year, of all years :P

I'm sure it will be an interesting battle at FSG in August

Congratulations to RMIT and Delft.



Sorting through the photos at the moment.

Thanks all... our results would have never been possible without the help and support from Loughborough University. Thanks so much for having us guys, and congratulations for the strong results especially in the Static events!

Congratulation to Delft, Stuttgart, Toronto and all the teams who participated... top job to everyone! Amazing performance from Stuttgart, considering its only their 2nd FSAE car ever! Definitely a name to look out for in future comps.

It has been great to catch-up with everyone from the team too... Jake, Ben, Brad, Leeroy, Matt, Steve, Paul, Dave, Elie... and Carrrly! You people rock! Hopefully we'll be able to meet-up again at the Oz Comp in December

Once again, it was a great weekend... thanks to all!

Can anyone tell me what the weather was like at Silverstone on the Endurance day?

Any rain at all? There was some in Oxford and that's not far away...

Thanks, Ian

The weather was fair, damp at some points and rained a little bit but not enough to get the track far from just Dry and Damp.

Congradulations to all of the teams that participated, TUG Had a very well organized , beautifully made racecar, there engine sounded great as well. DUT was the most amazing competitors, because they helped us all night fixing our exhaust systems, once before the autocross and then the following night before the endurance, many thanks! RMITs car was a nice evolution from there FSAE EASt winning racecar, dynamically it was awesome to watch on track, at the start of the weekend Jake RMITs technical director seemed a little bit scared of the competition, but he really lead his team threw the weekend. Stutgard was a very motivated excellent team, they really impressed me with the fact that they are already so competitive with only two years of Fstudent experience, it was a great battle in the endurance against this team, last but not leats I think that the Croatian team in paddock 8 accomplished the most of any team this weekend, coming to comp with barely a frame and getting it through tech for sundays endurance and the finishing the race, good jobs to all the teams participating, I hope that we at ETS have finally shown that we are not only strong in design but fast on the track as well, good luck to everyone going to formula germany, i hope to see all you guys in FSAE EAST next year as the world championship is up for grabs,

Very few so far but as soon as i've cleaned up in the workshop i'll post some more.

Congrats to all who competed, you sure didn't make it easy for us, -> SLOW DOWN EVERYONE, anymore weekends like that and i'll go completely bald!!!!

Special thanks to Lo Bro Univercity for putting up with us all -> U Guys Rock!!!!!

Also Thanks the support Oakland!

Alright, here are some resized pictures, alot from our own car i'll have to admit but we were happy to finally see it in one piece. We got the rims on wednesday just before the comp and were late with the build due to lack of commitment and building experience, this beeing our first year car.

Hi BJ

You're only sore because you pitched your tent next to a bullfrog. Life was much more civilised inside the 70's retro-camper. If you come over next year call me and I'll get you one too. A 100 quid should sort it.

Howard

The grip on track was amazing. We achieved 1,75g lateral acceleration in the apex of corners. I think it is not wrong to keep that in mind for the next car's design process.

I attached a screenshot of our logged data. Y: lateral acceleration in g, X: time in milliseconds. The data show one corner with braking until the apex an accelerating after the apex

Hi everybody

are there anywhere the fastest laptimes of every team of the FS Endurance on Sunday.

Thanks
