sorry, apparently I'm an idiot! I meant to say Monash ahead on points, followed by UWA
Anyway, it's over now, and Monash really dominated! Took out static events and dynamics, think the tally was first in design, cost, skidpad, autocross, endurance, second in accel, and 1st overall! Possibly the first endurance win I've heard of where the team had taken a 2 min penalty for running out of order (they broke their drivetrain in the first endurance). Definitely countered my statement a couple of weeks ago on here about how I thought wings wouldn't win an Aus comp.
2nd was UWA and 3rd was Wollongong (the beginning of a return of the mighty gong?). UWA were running strong in the second endurance but had some problem, not sure what it was.
RMIT had difficulties all weekend, I couldn't tell you specifically what they were but they did get through an endurance and won fuel economy.
Swinburne had a good comp I think, but devastatingly couldn't restart in either endurance
QUT and Wollongong were 2nd and 3rd in endurance I think, can't remember the order. QUT also received the first official coneboy award.
Other highlights - ADFA finished their first enduro in a number of years (didn't get a chance to check the car out, but good on them). South Australia also got through both enduros.
Finally, we unfortunately failed to finish either enduro. In the first one we pulled a clevis apart, bent an a-arm and pushrod. Fixed it for second enduro, then a mysterious cooling system issue killed us in the second. We still proved the performance of the concept we'd developed, by having our most competitive autocross ever despite being underpowered and a bit heavy. Watching our first enduro driver reel in and overtake UWA was incredibly satisfying. I really hope next year's team is able to fulfill the potential of the concept. We also had a lot of interest and compliments about our car and the powertrain package
Might add more comments and/or details later. After party time!
