In Uk 2005 TUFast had a skid pad time under 5 seconds, I remember speaking with them and the had practised it all summer and had found some pretty good tricks to lower their times.

Hey Chris,
I believe it will never be included as long as austria does not have a cost event, the competitions that base themselves dircetly on events of formula sae series are all included. You...

To whom this may concern,
1st Insight: TUG does not necessarly have a bigger budget then any other middle team from the USA, they live in a pool of great companies, Ackropvic,Rotax,Redbull,AVL...
Congrats to all teams who competed, a very contaversial event due to implementation of new cost rules.
I would like to mention a few words for my collegue from othe great teams.

Hi Bazanaius,
Have you thought of doing simple hand calculations using basic formulas to evaluate your heat disiipation needs based on energy to decelerate your car from say worst case 100km/h in...
Hey Scott
The big event is Midwest, it is equivalent to FSAE East, East used to pretty cool because their was a water event but the midwest has the most competitors and is usually the most...

Hey Ben,

Hello gentlemen,
I am in no way an expert on the topics mentioned above but over the past 5 years of Formula SAE I have seen quite a bit and could try and assist in some way.

Hey Du machado,
I believe you have a bigger problem with the pedal assembly you posted a picture of, the bias bar mechanism is set to pivot perpindicular to the pedal and not in the plane that the...
Pete,
To answer your question, for our team after formula student 2004, we went in with a high Hp heavy car and got our ass kicked by delft and RMIT who had about half our Hp and Delft was about...
Hey Pete,
With the 2004 R6 we could spin the wheel very easy, inertia was very high, only 2nd and 3rd gear were used during endurance so rpm was not likely very often in high hp range.
2007 car...

I could be wrong but is seems like the way your evaluating the problem is as if the front and the back of the car are seperate, however this is not the case, obviously the real case...
Hello nickerss,
With OptimumK you should see a pitch axis and roll axis, try and make your geometry so that these axii stay within the range you deem acceptable, if these axis are traveling at Mach...
