Christian,

Main limiting factor was the exhaust manifold. Very close to the gearbox. Could have angled the head up, but theguys were trying to keep machining simple. Hard to run through all the...

190mm with driver. Test was a little lower, but with such a high tilt angle even half a degree out makes a big difference. Measurements were consistently between 180 and 190.

55% rear with driver....

Nicely said Pete. I think UWA needed to change direction after 2006. I would hold that car as almost the pinnacle of the era, and competitive against any of the current crop. Hard to iterate from...

GTS,



Just a quick point here, although once again I am stressing that I am not arguing the result. ECU was behind Monash in the dynamics by less than 8 points (This will be less once the...

Moke,

Not selective memory at all. I wasn't at the 2005 comp (one of the handful I missed). While I think the design event in 2004 didn't reward innovation (UWA and RMIT) they certainly did get...

GTS,

My comments were not a complaint, merely an observation. Monash won the event clearly. The gap in aerodynamics is real and acknowledged. It is a strength area for Monash. ECU has other...

I think one of the keys to understanding the design event is to move past the idea of it being an event that rewards the best designed car at the competition. While that might be what we want it to...

Cost is an interesting case, and varies in importance between the upper and lower teams. I would argue it is even more important for the lower teams. Cost score is almost certainly not based on the...
