I just tweeted pictures of presentation and cost results.

Per and update from a teammate:

Unofficial AutoX (as of 5:06 p.m. EST)
1. KA-Racing (51.607)
2. GFR (51.697)
3. Missouri S&T (51.823)

Note: KA isn't using wings.

Eons of not reading the forum... But may is for racing and dodging mothers day present hunt :P

Does anyone know if there will be a Ustream live Podcast of the endurance like the one SCCA did last year?.

I will be at home some thousand kilometers away from MIS wanting to hear it once more.

Any word on endurance running order?

Not always true.. I remember a year (2009?) when AutoX order was overridden by a design finalists heat, and some other changes i can´t remember now

Any word on the top teams from design finals?

How did RPI's frame pass tech? We had an eerily similar arrangement (we had more tubing though) at the front of our 2008/9 car and were told we had to add tubing at the last event held at VIR.

I like how Wisconsin's car looks like a pack of Winstons. I imagine it was one of those situations where instead of asking for permission, they decided to ask for forgiveness.

Yes, Helsinki goes by the name Metropolia University of Applied Sciences and runs with the number 118.

I think there are few guys present from our 2008 group of shame also.

I can attest a bit to RPI's frame, having helped build it in the past. The carbon panels in the car are actually a structural component. We submit an SEF form and testing data for the panels. We used 029 and have had to increase thickness to the minimum tube thickness. The judges used to take issue with the thinner tubing we would use, and have mandated the increase. The frame has been tested in comparison to a steel frame with the carbon replaced with cross bracing. It's all pretty safe.

So thats how we pass tech. I can get some chassis guys to answer specific questions if you're really curious.

Well, we had to pull the plug on our trip this year. On the plus side, we dyno's the car tonight. On a Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno it made a best pull of 111hp and backed it up with a couple 109hp runs.

This was done on your YZF450R? What's your general setup?

How has nobody mentioned Penn State's fireball during endurance....

I was on track and it was def a high pressure fuel leak. Unbelievably huge ball of fire. Luckily everyone was ok.

Since Carnegie was the first racecar on the new paved surface, I guess Penn State gets the distinction of first fire....

Also. The electric cars from TU Munich and Kansas were unbelievable. We should create an electric section on this forum and get this competition off the ground for next year.

We were far from getting our yfz450 car done with just a few of us working on it so we went back and tried to get the car we built last year up to spec to run. At the last minute our advisor pulled the plug though so we didn't show with either car. That car has a cbr600rr with a GT12 turbo and 20mm restrictor. Check the video

Any more results? The final results should already be known. Top 10? This thread has been unusually dead compared to years past.

FStotal.com's page on facebook has uploaded picures of the unofficial results.


top 10:

GFR
Karlsruhe
Stuttgart
Munich
Michigan - AA
Graz
Metropolia
ETS
Erlangen
Wisconsin

They have almost the entire order on their page as well.

Can't help but notice the number of European (and quasi-European) teams (GFR) in the top 10.

Out of interest, are any of the members of those teams willing to say if the cars at MIS were the same cars that competed in 2011 at FS (Silverstone) or FSG (Hockenheim)?

I'm pretty sure most of the Euro cars were cars that have competed before.
