Go through the rules on the dynamic events- they go through all the details of the corners and straight lengths. Its all twisty stuff though. Maximum straight is 75m I think so probably around 120ish kph max.

Don't know where you can get pure O2 from but I wouldn't be running it on our car- would scare me. Nonetheless Melbourne is a reasonably sized town and no doubt you could get some O2 easily.

Can't help you with the air bottle, but the track at Australia is quite different to most other tracks. Consists almost exclusively of slaloms, and changes a lot from year to year.

I would make sure your car can navigate very tight corners though. There were a few parts of last year's layout that was out of FSAE spec, if you will (slaloms too tight, corners too narrow etc.). A couple of teams were particularly unhappy about it, and one team couldn't properly get around without collecting cones.

for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure the highest speed we've seen at FSAE-A since 2006 was around 100km/h, with average speeds around 35-45km/h.

I'm very Appreciate from all of your help
Thank you

I want to know did any team use pneumatic shift? and what gas that you refill your storage tank

in terms of being easy to find, C02 is a good choice.

The organisers were able to drive their mitsubishi evo around the track, bar the slalom if I remember correctly... so if you're collecting cones... back to the drawing boards

It was more that when the team drove their rule book and tape measure around they had trouble in places.

oxygen is easy to find. as long as you can fill your system from a big bottle. BOC gases.

a leak near any oil/grease could end up in flames even without ignition source.

Thank you
I will be careful oxygen
and I will change to co2 and test again

but if i use co2 where can i find co2 tank (http://www.sodaparts.com/images/co2tank.jpg)

compressed C02 should be available from any paintball supply store.
