That's great.

Thanks again to everyone at MRA, TIRF, Brian for setting up the forum and the various tire companies who made this possible.

I was at FSAE Michigan last week and I am disappointed by the number of teams displaying the Calspan logo. Despite having 82 of the 118 registered teams as TTC members, I don't think I saw more than 10 cars with the Calspan logo.

TTC members are reminded that Calspan has provided a significant price break to the TTC in the interest of supporting education/students. While I don't have an exact figure, over five rounds of testing this amounts to multiple tens-of-thousands of dollars worth of support. Calspan is a sponsor of every TTC member. TTC members are encouraged to show your appreciation by displaying their logo on your car.

The Calspan logo is provided with the downloads on the TTC private forum, http://sae.wsu.edu/ttc/

Is the Calspan logo available in a higher resolution or as Vector graphic?

After several years of being one of those "disappointing teams", we made sure to get all the logos (including Milliken's) on the car

Drax: Yes, I noticed your Calspan decals at competition. Two thumbs up (one per sidepod, of course).

The FSAE TTC recently passed 350 members, it seemed like a good time to resurrect this thread. I'll also post in the sticky thread--it is nice of FSAE.com to re-sticky the big TTC thread. A few thoughts:

+ Thanks to all the TTC contributors -- Calspan TIRF (show those logos!), tire companies, other industry supporters and volunteers...and of course all the member schools. The TTC has been far more successful than I ever imagined.

+ Not sure if your team is a member? Check the list (spreadsheet) at,
http://www.millikenresearch.com/fsaettcaccount.xls

+ After a rare outage, the TTC secure site is back up, thanks again to WSU for hosting. If your school is a member, you can register for the forum with your university domain email at, http://sae.wsu.edu/ttc/
It might take a day or two to be approved.

+ Not sure of the TTC license terms? Check the section named, "USE OF THE DATA – FSAE TTC LICENSE AGREEMENT" on this page, http://www.millikenresearch.com/fsaettc.html
To maintain our student discount at Calspan, it is important that there is no commercial use of the tire data or posting on the open internet. The TTC secure forum is the place to discuss the tire data in detail.

+ There are now funds to support Round 6, but we haven't found any good candidate tires yet. Any suggestions, please post to the secure forum.
