None from here. It's a lot of money and I can't justify it out of our budget.

I'm going to the full non-student Motec one the week after though.

UK Participants,

My appologies, I made a mistake with regards to the Dates: It is for November 16th, 17th and 18th 2003. (Sunday, Monday and Tuesday)

At the moment I have quite a lot of Universities from Europe registered especially after being advised that the University of Wollongong in Australia had booked out the majority of the seminar held in OZ, before their WIN in the United States SAE comp." Need I say anymore! http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

ALSO Did you know that "ALL students who came to the seminar found a job in racing a few weeks or a few months after the seminar. It provides them a practical understanding of what will be asked of them as soon as they will start their racing career. Several team managers or chief engineers in Europe and USA now ask if the interviewee has been to the Optimum G seminar and consider attendance as an advantage."

Hurry limited spaces still available. REGISTER NOW - before your competitor does.

Again, I would like to thank you for booking for the other Vehicle Dynamics Seminar that is the week after the student seminar in UK.

I agree that 840 Euros is a lot of money to pay, but that is for the normal price for the seminar you are booked into in which you had requested.

Students, The REDUCED price for students of 265 Pounds is a VERY good deal and you will all have Exactly the same course notes whether you pay 840 EUROS to attend the normal seminar with a max 20 particpants, or 265 Pounds which just lets a max 50 students attend.

You all learn exactly the same thing - How to apply, How to get the most out of your race car, How to win, and most important Understanding how or why!

Does anyone have a copy of the notes from the Seminar?

I am looking for the handouts that are given for research and to study/read them.

I have been told that they cannot give these out if you do not attend, however if someone will lend me a set of notes (who has attended), I'll copy them and send them right back.

Thanks, I appreciate everyone's time and cooperation greatly.

Bav, read the message I left for you on the other (US Seminar) thread

Just curious how it was not nice?

Bav,
That you have to ask that tells me something about you!

Wow, what a fantastic seminar. Claude's knowledge of the subject was matched only by his passion for teaching and explaining it to the likes of us. We were lucky enough to have the funding to take six people from Cardiff. Everyone learned more than they thought possible. Thankyou Claude and Motec

yeah, very very much agree with you there mate. was truely excellent, learnt so much, now ive got to pester the chassis team to let me redesign the geometry a bit(!) design freeze on the chassis was two weeks ago, and construction of the master has begun, but i warned them it will change........

now then, who wants to club together so we can build a rig to measure moments of inertia, seems pointless every uni constructing something soo huge?

Interesting...

I'm going to the full professional Rouelle Seminar next week. Should be good.

We had an excellent lecture at Uni last week from Peter Vennik from WSR who design the MG BTCC cars. He used to race with Claude back in Belgium and imparted some similarly good basic advice. I will be pushing to build a decent torsional test rig and maybe a compliance rig (toe, and camber-stiffness) as a result.

I think those two are more important before inertia testing. But then I suspect I might think differently by next Tuesday :-)

We had designed a torsional testrig before the seminar, so it will probably be finished before our car. We will be building inertia rigs as well. I am sure we can let other teams use our rigs when we have them finished, It would be good for everyone to set benchmarks for chassis stiffness etc using the same rigs. There might be a small fee to help us cover the costs of the rigs, but it would only be small.
