    This is a load of bullshit. If you're going to make a comment like this back it up with an example. Find me a team that built a 13" wheeled, spaceframe chassised 4 cylinder car with wings for under...

    That was the basic premise behind this years car. Build something with minimum complexity that will be on track as early as possible and with the least headaches. We've had significantly easier time...

    Fantastic to hear you're running now, and that definitely does sound like SAE. Hopefully you manage to have a year with less braking and more tuning. Our 2014 car did it's best to destroy our...

    The problem is that the day you spend testing ARBs to determine that they're not reliable is a day you could've spent tuning your car and training your drivers without them. Those days you come back...

    You miss the point. If you're 20ish days away from competition, are you sure you want to be troubleshooting a system that's unlikely to make you any faster rather than troubleshoot all your essential...

    I would suggest that if you don't have ARBs yet, don't bother with them. Do you think they're going to make you any faster? Just run 4 corner springs and be done with it.

    I've never really heard this term "patch on patch" before. Can someone please clue me in as to what is meant by it?

    We're in exams at the moment and having trouble getting time at a testing venue. When we get back out with some new tyres and some aero I'll post how it all turned out.

    I think the secret was that Claude has no idea if there is or not, but hopes to inspire people to look beyond the solutions everyone else is using.

    The only reason people in the know use 4130 for space frames is availability. We can't get 2.4mm wall roll hoop material in 1040 so we choose to use 4130 despite the price difference in order to save...

    Our tyre gauge is definitely not that fancy. Just a simple analog gauge that was clearly a bit tired. It's a timely reminder to consider the dumb solutions first.

    Quick update. Our tyre pressure gauge was proving less than trustworthy. 10psi on the gauge was actually closer to 5. New gauge and more tyre pressure has settled the car down significantly. After we...
