What happened to UWAM's exhausts?! I noticed some new ones (EDIT: "We ran into serious problems with the carbon-fibre mufflers, with one half of the muffler splitting open on the left side. A quick change to the dyno mufflers allowed us to get back on track. The remainder of the day was spent giving some seat time to the drivers at comp." via UWAM website) Were those front wind deflectors allowed through tech? (EDIT No2.:As I understood from various sources, at first they were allowed, then asked to trim them and at the very end banned? Anyone confirm?)I noticed that RMIT also runs similar philosophy sidepod mounted rear wheel "covers". Also, do you have any weights? And more pics of the Auckland car please...

one of the carbon mufflers had de laminated due to a poor layup (new team, mistakes happen)
we wont be running the FADS. UWAM is a little heavy at the moment...

Hi everyone,

I have just set up a live stream of the Autocross from the top of the hill.

The link is:

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fsae-a

This is my first time doing this so please excuse any glitches.

I think they will be starting in a couple of minutes so tune in, now

There is a little rain on the radar so should be interesting. We also have about 20 teams currently in line and ready to run so should be a very entertaining afternoon.

IF this stream goes well we will try and broadcast both heats of Enduro tomorrow as well.

Enjoy!

Scott

PS: If the stream is working can you please repost the link to fstotal, facebook etc and get the word out.

Cars starting up now!

Hi guys,

We are expecting a lot of rain near the start of enduro which means we can't run the laptop and webcam out on track this morning sorry.

We will try to get someone posting updates and times.

Cheers

Scott
