Helsinki Polytechnic had to go abroad to have some outdoor testing before FSAE.
Here is the first (crappy)video from Gotland Ring. It was quite late at night and our camera isn't the greatest. I've tried to put some brightness into it.

Here's also a link to Gotland Ring's web site so you can see what's it all about:

I've began to edit the whole footage and I try to put the final version here soon.

edit: Now with pictures added.

Gorgeous car as always. Should have kept the batman sticker on it.

How or who does your body work? Its killer every year.

That thing has a mean Idle, sounds like a diesel

Looks amazing as usual!

Thanks for the compliments.
Body work is drafted by a design student who is friend of ours and rest of the drawing is made by us.
Batman sticker was one of those "4 a.m.-ideas". Unfortunately our team manager is too greedy when it comes to sponsor/money-business and he ripped it off.

FAntastic car Kimmo!! the idle on that thing is wild. it lopes more then my evo


can't wait to see it in detroit!

WOW that guy is good a donuts!

Wow. That engine sounds quite healthy!

That is quite an amazing car i saw it today at competition. while i was watching the acceleration it ran the fastest time (that i saw) at 4.5 i belive it was

Kimmo,
That's one of the best FSAE videos yet. Nice work.

Agreed. Awesome reminder of why we love this so much.

I think the person who originally asked the question about body work meant who does the physical bodywork?

Cause we don't have any that kind of machinery in our school, mould's moulds (don't know the correct english word for it..) are milled from the igs-file in a company which makes e.g. mould's moulds for fibreglass boats. Then laminating itself is done by us with the help of professional but not in our school's facilities, since we don't have room and equipments in our "laminating room"(truly a corner of a boiler room) for such big objects. Colour-design is made by us but painting itself is made in a car painting company.
Hope this is enough as an answer.

I edited this old Gotland Ring topic to include everything that happens around our website.
Now I've put couple of photos of the becoming car. Some of them are pretty old..
We're little late on the schedule but it's building up.

The car looks amazing. Top notch quality.

Oh, I think the word you're looking for is "buck"

Its what you machine to make a mold from.

sick video!!

Buck, OK. Though couple of team mates claim that word I was after is "pattern".
New video material will be available shortly. I will put our last year's "season summary" -video to youtube.

I had to test how youtube works before I'll put the season summary there:

We turned our mag centers a bit lighter and there's some of the remaining chips in fire. The video is also educational. If your mag wheels are caught in fire-> don't put them out with water.

Now I finally got it uploaded. Our last year's "season summary" is available here:

Part1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUZP7s-8SnY

Part2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inWlML3aY-s

I had to split it cause it was so long.
Poor picture quality takes most of the thrill and somehow in youtube version there's couple of flaws(still moment's eventhough they shouldn't be etc.).
The Offspring-part(2nd song) was first meant to be "Director's Cut" and for Team's eyes only but it somehow leaked here also...
Hope you enjoy it!

First youtube video didn't work for me, second was great though.
