I just love all-nighters on the eve of competition:-)

With bleary eyes I wish all the teams good luck. See you at Brunty.

Ben

Cheers mate. To you and your team too!

Good Luck to all the teams entering.

I have to put money on Hester (Rmit) or Al (Monash) winning the autocross.

Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi Oi Oi

With Monash finally getting some skinny little tires to go with thier huge wings I think they are the favorite.

Monash are having huge problems getting their car out of customs. They might now get their car out tomorrow (Fri), but for a while there they were saying that the earliest they could get it was Monday. Poor blokes. We all really hope that this sorts itself out.

Cheers all,

Geoff

Thats right geoff.

Al and Jarrod camped out at customs and basically did their job for them, after we had hassles due to someone elses dangerous goods which happened to also be in our crate. They had to organise (and pay for) a driver with a hazardous good license and truck to move the whole container 20km so that it could be safely(!) opened and our crate removed.

They got back to Birm at about 3:30am. Its 6:30 am now and we are just leaving for comp after detailling a few parts, changing tyres, putting the car back together, and a CG height test.

Monash are go for Formula Student.

Catch you at the track,

RMIT HAVE WON AUTOCROSS

Got a few sms at 2.45am! I think they said RMIT won dynamic events by .1sec but cannot confirm this. In 1/2 sleep stupor deleted 1 message so could not reread it after morning coffee
quite a few quick/interesting cars
Rotor decided to trade rubbered up track for safety and ran 3rd car out,doing a safe run then missing 2nd gear on his 2nd run. The enduro will give better indication of comparative lap times. RMIT have choice of start time after winning sprint so tactics will again play a part as they always should in motor racing

News from Rotor;
Toronto unofficial winner of autocross, RMIT second place but only because Big Bird was held at the gate 40sec! after driver change for some inexplicable reason.

I dont think this will effect overall result.

RMIT won fuel economy easily (2.1 litres) The other 2 single cyl cars crashed out

Rotors fastest lap time was 52, next best was high 53. Big Bird was 1.8 sec slower than rotor, a fair way shorter than 15 minutes!!!

The design score will decide overall 1st place
and this has not been officially released yet.

Stralsund,s last year car is listed as 2nd in Autocross but does not score points. Rotor nearly lapped it in his stint.
Regards Bryan Hester

Any chance of some info on the other cars, not just the winners, Id like to see how my uni is getting on.

Thanks

Delft announced that they failed endurance due to a engine failure. Look on their website!

Half of the Firenze Team is come back in ITALY.

Our compliments to RMIT for the great results at FS04.

For the first time a single cylinder car won a FSAE competition.

For the first time the Class 1 and the Class 1-200 were divided, and the overall results of the 200 cars is still unknown.
