Ya, and a $500000 yearly budget. That's the number I've gotten from one of my pretty plugged in sources. I'm just glad to see that they really live up to the hype. Their cars are pretty f'n rad!

don't forget our privat learjets and the trucks all over the world!!

But hey... at least we have pictures...

keep it coming stef!

damn, it was only last week that i saw Mr. Royce at the F-Hybrid competition, and now he's in michigan doing the FSAE. That's just amazing. I wonder if he's gonna be at all the competitions this year.

p/s: is that lady inspecting your car one of the judges? I wonder if she's Mr. Royce's wife. One thing for sure, you dont wanna piss her off.

Rinaz you're right! That's Mrs. Royce.

You're right about that Henning. Rumour tells that design finalists are:
Helsinki
TuGraz
Delft
ETS

I just got some info from our guys. I'll upload it to our website in a minute. Pictures will probably follow later.

I heard the same rumours from the Delft team. (thnx Samoooo!! )



Peter
Delft FSUK04, FSG06

rumours seem to be confirmed:

cost event is also online - see link above

Yeah, Delft in the Design finals! also 85 points at the Cost Event...

I heard we did a 5.12 on the skidpad (average/lap) and a 4.25 at acc... very promising..

* update: Just heard Delft is second at the Business presentation, at the moment of typing in cueue for autocross..

pictures from the scrutineering day:

what happened to the car in the picture? did it break the suspension during brake test or something?

I just got the word that Saginaw Valley State University won acceleration. Go Cards!!!!

Hey Duder, any chance you could post some pics?

Hey DanG did you make it out? Ive been looking all over for you.

Unofficial overall before autocross and endurance:

1. Delft
2. TU Graz
3. Helsinki
4. UWA

Then if I remember right it was Cornell and RMIT...

But will be changing a bit after AutoX... Delft is going strong! Good luck to all for the endurance!

Tim, yea I'm here. I was out in the dynamic area all day. 8 gigs worth of pics, I'll try to find a few good ones. Upload them soon.

Then there are some people in high up places spreading rumors about you. That'd be ~350k EURO's if you're wondering, which is the original number I heard. Care to share the real numbers if my source is off? I know I'm interested.

Very unofficial rankings so far (taking numbers from the Graz site http://racing.tugraz.at/de/home/usa-2008/usa-neuigkeiten/berichterstattung/ )
Also remember that DUT, Graz, Helsinki and ETS are in design finals so they don't have a design score yet:

1. Joanneum Racing Graz 519
2. UWA 507
3. RIT 492
4. Missouri UST 490
5. TUFast 485
6. Rennteam Stuttgart 481
7. RMIT 478
8. Wisconsin 477
9. Saginaw 473
10. Toronto 460

keep in mind there is TU Delft, TU Graz, ETS and Helsinki who should get 130+ so putting that in there we have Graz with 485-505, Delft with 529-549, Helsinki with 480-500 and ETS with 445-465.

Again, these are extremely unofficial, I just added up the scores from the Graz website and I've probably made quite a few mistakes so please check them and correct me.

hey, anyone knows the results of auto x?
thx!
