To clarify, the UTAS "15 week private training session" has nothing directly related to driving. It is related to fitness and weight training in the gym only, and the instructor is not a driver and he is not training us in anything outside general fitness and strength. For every hour you spend in the gym, you spend another hour showering and standing around talking about it and thinking what to eat. When the same people could be building the car it is a time resource to be considered, especially if your car is not yet rolling.
Currently UTAS has a chassis and uprights, but no finished suspension parts so we are not rolling yet.
