Brilliant pictures again Stef. Out of interest, have you got any of the Oxford Brookes car? I know they were in a rush to get things ready for the US, and I was wondering how they were doing over there representing the UK.

Well,
First of all, I'm in rainy Holland so I'm not the guy making the pictures... I haven't got any pcitures of the Oxford car either. But you can give your team a call right? PS.. was you at silverstone last year doing the Delft Dance with us ?

I think it was us that did the group shoot with you guys  I seem to remember you all outnumbering us approx 3:1 :P LOL I take it your coming to UK again? Should be a good laugh. I'm looking forward to the free beer at Germany though TBH Triumph Motorcycles FSAE '05-08 UBRacing 2008 Technical Director and Sprint/Endurance Driver 2007 Powertrain Team Leader and Sprint/Endurance Driver |

quote www.racing.tugraz.at:
We just finished the endurance event. Many of the top-teams did too, many others are still on track. Some other top-teams dropped out of the race: 018 Delft Univ of Technology - DUT Racing, 100 Helsinki Polytechnic - Stadia Motorsport and 040 Univ of Applied Sciences - Graz - Joanneum Racing Graz. |

That's going to shake things up a bit.
edit: Apparently, RIT dropped out of endurance on the final lap due to a radiator cap failure...  This message has been edited. Last edited by: ttk3, |

This is a fun game...
We were flagged out with the meatball flag (black/orange) on the 3rd lap of endurance. Could not believe it. I think no-one did at first. First it was a bit confusing why did they do that. Anyway they would not let us continue. The first impression was that the driver was not inside the 2" rule (front/mainroll hoops, checked at scrutineering with all drivers) then it was the harness not being tight enough (checke when going to track). Then the final judgement was that when drivers helmet was against the headrest the driver could not see enough... And this all begun from a bit front-leaning driving position of our driver. We showed the organisers the picture at the cover of the event handbook (wisconsin from last years endu) where the driver clearly does not go into 2" rule. They said that the rules have been tightened from last year. They just didn´t tell that to anyone... The most dissapointing thing in this point is that we really could have fixed these issues if they were shown to us at scrutineering. Now the DNF is based on a visual inspection during the endurance event... So it will be an interesting design final between ETS and TU Graz. We´ll be around with Delft guys but I guess the effort will be quite minimal... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Engine Manager Helsinki Polytechnic Formula Engineering Team "The Worst Team In Finland" http://www.formula.stadia.fi/ |

damn that sucks Mikko. I guess youll have to make a Hans device which hold the drivers head against the headrest for next years car.

Does anyone know what happened to UTA and their DQ?
|
|||
|
|
Member |
the story I heard is that they were dq'ed after endurance because the endplates on the rear wing were too far behind the rear tires. not exactly sure though
|

After the endurance event, the UTA car was judged to have the end plate of the rear wing extending 1" behind the vertical plane of the rear tires in the static position. This was not measured during the initial tech inspection, but we were disqualified after the event. That's probably all I need to say about it.

If you add up the most recently posted scores on the Graz site, UWA has ~862 and the next four teams are between 827 and 833pts - TUFast, Stuttgart, RMIT, and Wisconsin. If the numbers are close, then the finish will be close as well.
I guess us US teams need to step it up a little! Matt |

Does it show that we are turning around to re-enter in the correct direction? Give me a call any time.

That's really unlucky! Sorry to hear you got caught out for something that should have been picked up in tech, especially with all this new increased emphasis on percy and head positioning. Looking at some of your pictures testing your car, if you didn't change any of the headrest at all from them, I can see exactly why they would have pulled you, the drivers head is at least 6in from the headrest. http://www.formula.stadia.fi/kuvat/FSAE08/album/09_05_2...slides/IMG_9229.html http://www.formula.stadia.fi/kuvat/FSAE08/album/11_05_2...slides/IMG_9938.html Was the driver just leaning forward when driving? Or did they have a seat insert that moved them a lot further forward? UBRacing '08 Team Leader UBRacing '07 FSUK & FSG Endurance Driver and Engine Exploder |
