Yep, no hydro for Monash this year. Gone for simplicity and reliability after a tough Europe campaign. Hydro is difficult to get consistent each testing day. Plus needed more driver seat time.

Feels like we've been over this but still having the same issue... See FSAE-A 2015 thread or FSUK Safety thread.
Similar problem at FSUK where tyre bundles are placed in line with braking and on...
I would like to thank all the volunteers throughout the weekend and organising the event. A lot of small things behind the scenes are done that go without notice (providing water to volunteers etc)...
I will try and make this structured as possible given the posts and points made. Just expanding from what Wordley has said/student perspective.

I would say given the experience we have had with customs, that if you send your car today it will still take 3-4 weeks to clear customs. I don't know about packages from India but I will assume that...
I agree with Z and Jay. Below is me re-hashing what they said in my own way...
General:
- GoPro/on board camera is one of the easiest ways to improve. Having Alumni/other drivers look at your...
Great, really excited to see your first aero design! Unsprung?
Yeah 100% over 22km without touching it. 26km is a lot of driver training!
Sounds like it is coming together! How long till UQ e...
Z, not all northern comps are over ;) FS Japan this week and FS Italy next week.
And Brazil to come in October so plenty of action before Auscomp.
Haha very aware there are two 'Missouri' teams. Mizzou's 2013 fw side inlets and S&T's dive plates (curved sections on endplates) and fw tunnels are great inspirations for aero.
Good to see that this thread is going already!
Looking forward to seeing ECU's engine this year, that mid-machining photo on FB was awesome! Starting the new trend with beam axles and folded...
Is coverage of all events on for this year of endurance only?
Can't wait.
Any thoughts on who has a chance of beating super GFR?
After Michigan it looked like it could be done!
Rennteam...
Mainly fires but also some improvements in track layout at comp would be good to see. The below is my own view and doesn't represent the team's views.
Mentioned this in another thread but in some...
Rennteam were posting laptimes on their twitter.
Rain certainly made a difference then! Congrats to Delft, Zwickau and Rennteam on the top placings!
Thanks for your response Pat. I have no doubt that the rules committee is serious about safety, just thought that some fresh ideas could help.
Interesting about the extinguishers though. Coming...
Hi,
So thought I should start a thread based on improving safety in the competition.
The basis is not workshop safety (using tools, machining) as that should be covered extensively by your...
Thanks for the updates Tristan! Excited to hear about enduro!
Would like to know what happened with KIT-c 's crash.
Last year (and years before that) the tyres and marshalling points have been...

Cars 45, 86, 89. Photos attached below.
Just a quick (and hastly written because exams are getting closer) overview of the design finalists.
Pictures attached at the bottom and next post.
Good luck to everyone!
Car #2 Texas A&M...
Yes but not comp-spec ready (though very close).
Mitchell, do you have any video of your car driving? Keen to see how it handles. Or waiting till comp?
Most students are in the middle of exam periods, hence the quiet period.
There is still a lot happening though, RMIT-e are now rolling and now Newcastle.
If you head to...
I think Cunningham was referencing to these proposed rule changes:

I drove their car last year as well so I have a good idea of what has been achieved this year. Firstly I would like to congratulate them on the reliability of this...
Cheers to Tim and Curtin for starting this up and the feedback on M13. The videos are great to watch.
Driver swap is an amazing event and we take our feedback straight to design. It is also a...
