Hello All, I'm very curious what the actual weights of the top 10 teams at Detroit were??

Thank you very much.

More specifically, weights of the cars in Design Semi-Finals.

I've already combed the other threads, including MIS Pics, etc... I've seen this post:
Delft: 320-ish?
Helsinki: 440
ETS: 330-ish?
TU Graz: 391

Of course I'd be interested in the weights of cars finishing top 10 in any dynamic event also.

Thanks again, Aaron

I think there may have been an issue with the cal on the scales at MIS. We were 449 lbs in VIR, removed a little weight, but were 434 lbs at MIS. We did not remove that much. By Cali we were 447 lbs and we actually had removed some parts. MIS weights were not very accurate.

Delft weighed 322 if I remember correctly

I thought the scales might have been off as with a very similar car to the one we ran at west last year without any significant weight saving measures we weighed in 9 lbs less (484 vs 493)

we weighed our car in our shop about 3 hours before we weighed in at MIS and the two numbers were within 1 lb.

We were about 430lbs at MIS which was 10lbs lighter than VIR.

I guess we (Delft) were the lightest car @ 328 but when the car was weighed again after enduro it had gained a few pounds while it should have been a bit lighter due to the fuel consumed [we didn't really add anything to the car that could explain the difference.] so i think the scales might be recalibrated at some point in time.

Our car (#14, Stuttgart, Germany) was at 502 lbs - pretty sure the leading "5" was one of the reasons why we weren't in the semi-finals. But anyway, that didn't keep us from winning the endurance and scoring 2nd overall... :-)
