Very impressive from ETS and Akron.
GFR seems a bit heavy taking into account they run a monocoque.
Does anybody know if Wisconsin sports a tube frame or 'coq?
Wisconsin has a steel frame and a turbocharged 1-cyl.
And Wisconsin's single is a KTM550 bored and stroked to 605cc which they were able to pull nearly 80hp out of last year. So when you consider they're running full aero, with 80hp at their disposal, all wrapped in a 350lb car, they could be pretty damn competitive this year.
There are so many storylines to follow this year. GFR going for 4 straight. Wisconsin, as mentioned before. Missouri S&T's active rear wing. TU Graz switching to a single with wings. Maryland finally able to see how their beast of an autocrosser will handle the tight corners at MIS. Akron looking like a legitimate top 5 darkhorse.
I really wish I was there to take it all in. *sigh*
P.S. Any update now that the teams are on site on whether they'll be streaming the endurance again this year?
Are you talking about audio or video streaming? Because I only remember audio streaming from last year.
Too bad you put the mark in the middle of all photos http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_frown.gifQuote:

Anyways thanks you for sharing!
Our car weighs 482 pounds, much better than 520+ the last few years. We're in Paddock 65 between UW-Madison and Manitoba, and two stalls down from GFR.
Bunch of different combinations looking really good. Colorado State has full ground effect sidepods, Missouri S&T with their linear actuator DRS, Kansas has a huge one-piece rear wing and undertray, Mizzou has servos embedded in wing elements for DRS, and someone said Akron has around 300 pounds of downforce with their undertray and wings. Lots of single cylinder engines, probably half a dozen running Aprilia 2-cylinders, and the usual assortment of 4-cylinders. Jayhawks are running a stressed member CBR600RR with really nice rear suspension packaging and aero.
Good times talking with different teams, should be a good rest of the week.
University of Central Florida through tech, just noise and brakes to go.
Weighed in at 468, an all time low.
Yes Tobias audio streaming. I know FSG does video streaming, or has done it in the past, but its alot to ask for the organizers to do it here. I believe it was SCCA that provided the audio stream before, if I'm not mistaken.Quote:
