We're hoping to get our car driving by February. We spent all summer designing, which helped, a lot.

Only break here was to fix a busted heater hose on my girlfriends dad's car then go back to cleaning up the wiring on the dyno.
It's 2 AM and there are still 4 of us here at the garage. Catching some sleep to hit it hard again in the morning. It's been a few months since I've crashed on the couch at the garage...
The hard work from all of the team has really been paying off; I don't think any formula team will ever know what the term "ahead" feels like but this doesn't feel like we're behind.
It's on like Donkey Kong!!!
Delft had their design presentation yesterday: youtube.com/watch?v=-MpQi82ZW2M
I think the guys have done a good job so far.

Indeed, it looks pretty good. I'm just wondering about this huge electronics box, where the cooling air gets out after the radiator and how you can put the accumulator containment into the car. Is that the first year you are using a steering system like that (cables instead of gears)?
Looking at the uprights and hubs, you have definitely left the path of "gokart design" a bit. What is your weight target for the car?
Regards,
Thomas
The accumulators can go out through the seatplate, so that shouldn't be a problem. Yes, it's the first time we're doing that system. It's our take on steer-by-wire. The weight target is 180 kg.
How is everything going with your car Thomas? Can we expect a design presentation shortly?

We just got our chassis tubes back from laser cutting last week, front bulkhead and front roll hoop are tacked up. Chassis jigs are nearly complete and we're going to get a main roll hoop bent sometime in the next few days. We're hoping to have a chassis complete over winter break.

Very impressive Video Delft, mainly the posting date ;-)
We hope to be at the same level of process in late January. We have many new students that had first to grow into the project.
My biggest fear is that our car will be white like last year and not BLACK like 2009.
cheers
