Race Tech Article

[Charlie]

Anyone see the new Race Tech article on the FSAE-A event?

Well written article, and I was really suprised to see so much coverage! Happily suprised http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

It was written before the scoring correction, which given magazines tight deadlines doesn't suprise me, but one thing I did notice that I was wondering about: The article said Swinburne had the fastest lap in the enduros @ around 45s. I didn't remember that being the case, I knew RMIT was up there, but the #4 was a very qucik car and I remember being impressed with it in auto-x, so it wouldn't be a shocker!

Maybe someone from Swinburne can clear that up!

Anyway I hope this kind of expanded coverage continues! http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I just got it yesterday, though I know there is a lag from the UK to here. It's got the Walrus on the cover. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Well I forgot the endurance event times were posted on Racetime's site. Also, earlier in the article it mentions RMIT with the fastest endurance time so I guess it was a typo.

If you get a chance you ought to pick up the article, its got a lot of good material and worth the price of the magazine for sure. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

this may be a stupid question, but what's a Walrus?

Heh, sorry its the new BMW Williams F1 car, I figured that term had become more widespread I guess. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

i knew it ... i wanted to say it was the BMW but then again, i just thought maybe you were talking about some small formula ford team or a project my an amateur builder. Thanks!

Hi all.
I just got back from a week in Queensland and got my first chance to read RaceTech.

.......quote Charlie "earlier in the article it mentions RMIT with the fastest endurance time so I guess it was a typo."

Yep, a typo. Mea Culpa. I reported 'RMIT' as 'Swinburne'. Apologies to all concerned. An error that slipped through in the rush to meet the deadline.

Hey Pat, didn't realize you wrote the whole article (knew you wrote the sidebar). Didn't mean to nitpick http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Thanks for getting so much info about the event out in the public's eye.

If anyone wants to accidentally report "Swinburne" as "RMIT" in the Design scoring we are more than happy to oblige.

Cheers!

Design it. Build it. Write it off two weeks before the event.
