    Well, we are a 6 days out of Formula SAE - Australasia.

    I thought I would get a thread started for updates on team progress, then comp progress as it comes around.

    Anyone doing a twitter update this year?

    The official (Kirby's ex-unofficial) Twitter is at https://twitter.com/FSAEA12. There will be someone updating it (not me, a professional from UniGames), as well as Geoff Pearson (who just got an htc smartphone).

    Good luck to all of you!

    I am consistently impressed with the quality of Australian/NZ cars, despite the fact that you must build and race upside-down .

    I don't know which response to go with:

    Nah we're upside down too so the cars seem the right way up.

    or

    Upside down relative to what? Some archaic notion of what is the top of the world.

    I'd just like to wish the volunteers all the best of luck and don't take any shit from anyone especially the Auckland guys.

    Rex, are you plugging phone brands now to fundraise for the comp?

    So day 1 out the way.
    No one is through tech yet. Monash, ECU, Melbourne, university Sydney, waikato, Auckland, Sophia and rmit all attempted (plus one more I think).
    RMIT looks to be the one with the least amount of fixes to make.
    Big crack down on forward facing exhaust outlets. None will pass due to concerns about fumes approaching drivers

    Was a good day for me being on the other side of the tech inspection fence today. Tomorrow should be even more fun with being powertrain design judge.

    Also, I'm being told the track is a lot more open this year. A lot of happy faces about that. Expectation is that mid level teams/drivers will be more competitive.
    I will endeavour to walk it tomorrow.
    Cheers

    Rex,

    It's the CAMS scrutineer who has determined that forward facing exhausts are verboten.
    The FSAE point of view was put by many, but no relaxation from the man from CAMS....and they are the insurer, so have the last say!
