Now that all the big Northern Hemisphere 2015 comps are over, we can start looking forward to FSAE-Oz 2015.

For example, did you know that ..... THE 100 DAY COUNTDOWN BEGINS MIDNIGHT TONIGHT!!!

Quote from Julian on the "2015 FS Austria" Competition thread:

So after seven years of FSA, the overall winners only are GFR/OSU and AMZ/ETH. What a streak. :P
Checking the records shows that Monash has won the last SIX Oz-comps in a row.

So, ... by the end of this year will they also match GFR, AMZ above with SEVEN in a row???

Judging by a video I saw about a month ago of their 2015 car having its first test run, I would say they are well on track.

BUT (!!!) there are also quite a few "Next-Gen" cars coming this year. Namely, simple, neat, monocoques with rear-beam-axles, from ECU, Auckland, UQ, +? And one of those, UQ, is already well into its testing (ie. "test day 7(+?)" on their Facespace...).

And there is at least one "last-year's-car-with-updates" coming, which should (?) also be very thoroughly tested. (This Team is quite disappointing, given that they are one of the best resourced in the country, if not the world!) And many time winners UWA are in their second year of a two-year-plan, so could (?) also be competitive, but not much news from that side of the island.

And although Monash had some big ~100+ point winning margins in previous years, last year it was much closer...

They're catching up, Scott!!!
~o0o~

Anyway, Jonny is keeping us up-to-date on progress in the Apple-Isle, but it would also be good to hear how the other Oz Teams are progressing with their "relentless testing and refinement programs...".
