    Kev,

    One is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty, no? If you're going to disqualify a team from the endurance, you must have a very high confidence. Being 95% sure is not even enough. If for...

    I agree that good teams are good because of their management and not because of an aero package. But I think in FSAE it is healthy for different concepts to be similar in performance. With the...

    The location of the lines is not the problem. Overheating of the regulator itself can be (we used a wet towel and duct tape to keep it cool during endurance at FSG 2010 :D), but as long as it is out...
