2015 Formula Student UK

[mech5496]

With the competition is around the corner, how's everyone doing? Any live feeds this year? Keep the updates coming!

Anybody found the event booklet online already? Racecar engineering used to do it but it's not there for 2015 and I haven't seen any other info except for crappy excel to pdf conversions.

The FSUK live has updates on everyone on everything, can make it hard to follow any one team.

Any news on live footage? If not, can someone there raise it for the future? Baja, FSAE-A and FSG do it, and given the UK event has a lot of international teams it would be highly appreciated.

Also is there someone on the ground that can provide insights (weather/innovative designs/track layout)?

I can only see the one from last year (and the cars for this year).

Miki will probably be updating from FSUK starting tomorrow, just as Stef, so I'll expect some info from there. @FSUKLive is sketchy at best, like previous years. Hopefully they connect the speaker to radio silverstone (but I haven't found any stream yet), but considering last years (yes plural) 'non-there' availability it probably won't happen.

Maybe Erik Schmidt (he's there @FStroopwafel) can tell something about the tracklayout.

I see ~48 Teams there (Class 1), with quite a few of them looking as if they might not even run (given the sloppiness of their spec sheets).

Is this right? I thought FSUK was bigger?

(Edit: Just checked, and 100 Teams in each of 2013 and 2014... So what happened this year?)

Something must have happend with the booklet, there are approximately 100-120 cars here and while there will probably be hectic for some to pass scrutineering in order to score in all dynamic events, it's not as it looks like in that booklet.

I am parsing the FSUKlive timings into text files:
http://famtimmermans.net/fs/fsuk2013/skidpad.txt
http://famtimmermans.net/fs/fsuk2013/accel.txt
http://famtimmermans.net/fs/fsuk2013/autox.txt
With 'indicative' scoring.


Full data http://famtimmermans.net/fs/fsuk2013/data.txt

Don't mind the fsuk2013, it just an old directory which I'm reusing. Data is from 2015 twitter feed of @FSUKLive with some RegEx magic and a python parser.

Design finalists: Zürich, greenteam, revolve, kit-e, oxford, Delft
Cost 'finalists': https://twitter.com/FormulaStudent/s...175489/photo/1
Business finalists: Delft, Aberdeen, Liverpool.

Kit-C crashed into the tires (apparently heavy), driver ok as far as I heard.
And Hannover's battery pack went up in flames.

Thanks for your updates Tristan, the Text-Files were awesome!

Apparently Rennteam had a cone in the fastest lap, so Greenteam wins Sprint.

According to our quick calculation, Delft and Zurich are in the lead, depending on the Design and Business finals. Behind them the two Munich cars (-41 for the Electric, -55 for the Combustion).
Looks like a couple of teams in the mix for the Overall competition and the two Stuttgart teams with nothing to lose in the Endurance. Gonna be fun!
