2012 UToronto SHOOTOUT

[IronMike]

Shootout will be returning to the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport) in Bowmanville, Ontario. The event comprises of a full day of autocrossing against some of the top teams from North America. Entrants must be Formula SAE/Formula Student vehicles that have passed technical inspection at a sanctioned FSAE competition. All cars will be inspected for safety before admitted to the pit lane, according to the FSAE tech inspection form.

Over $2500 worth of prestigious awards, gifts and cash prizes are waiting to be won in both the team categories and individual performance categories.

The Kart Track at Mosport offers a technical challenge with tight and wide corners, slalom and most interestingly, elevation changes. This is a chance for your team to truly see how your car performs against the clock. All laps are one-by-one time trials, run as an autocross event.

Current forecast: Cold and wet!

This could be interesting....

[MCoach]

Brrr...

Chilly weather thereabouts.

Curious as to whether the carbon pedals will still be on the ETS car...

Would just like to drop a thanks in here to the hosts, University of Toronto, for the shootout.

It was a great idea to open up the track quite a bit compared to previous years. It was quite cold, but nevertheless, a blast. I would say that the event stayed safe throughout, there were no injuries (that I'm aware of...) from the off course excursions several teams took, and fire extinguishers seemed pretty prevalent alongside the cars.


Thanks again, and hope to attend again next year.

A FSAE Thanksgiving:
I arrived at my parent's house and my mom says, "Mike, you stink like cars." Turns out the warming showers of exhaust gas I got while lining you guys up impregnated my clothes with a strong odor. Her comment made me smile. And that was my FSAE Thanksgiving.

A weekend of poutine, beer, and racing. What could be better?

A huge thank you goes out to the University of Toronto guys for hosting a great event. It goes without saying that our team had a blast and can't wait to come back and compete here again next year!

Teams,
I have sent the official results via email to you guys. It will take a little bit to appear on our website. We appreciate everyone coming, we take pride in hosting the event on behalf of our school.

PS. Fastest lap was 10 seconds faster than the last couple years!
