I have to say- You FSAE guys are brilliant. the money and the machines, the schools and technology are SO impressive- You should all be proud. Incredible machines. That being said, I guess I'm being a bit self-serving here, but I wanted to see what you all thought about the Indy car that I've built. It's been sold and I'm now designing a 2010 car with suspension. This car pictured was like a giant, overpowered go cart that actually ran wicked lap times on an asphalt oval with minimal set up. Drag raced the quarter in 10.85. It handled beautifully provided the course was smooth.
2005 YZF R1 1000cc fuel injected motor. The next car plans will utilize the same engine but will also be much more user friendly on road courses. This weighed 567 pounds without a driver. 13" rims, slick Goodyear tires. 91" wheelbase built for a 200lb, 6'3" driver. I will undoubtedly pop in for advice on suspension, but will be sure to check the archived posts, before asking repeated questions. The website shown on the car, is gone- I took it down. Keep in mind I have limited racing knowledge and no completed professional education in fabrication or engineering.
