Formula Student UK 2013 starts tomorrow at 14h GMT+1.
Time for a 'Wings do/don't work?' discussion?
Our car just left for Silverstone. We are looking forward to meet all the teams for the first time at competition.
I think a "Wings (don't) work" discussion is not needed anymore. Everybody knows that they help your car going a bit faster and that's it.

Thank god, going fast is the only thing you get points for in FSAE
From what I saw at ZF race camp at Friedrichshafen two weeks ago most of the top teams are using wings this year. But the size of the wings differs quite a lot from team to team.

Anyway. For your convenience I created a tool last year to find facebook/twitter posts about FSAE event and updated it to meet current Facebook/twitter programming standards

Looking forward to some real action of Petrol vs Electrics this weekend. And maybe some exploding tires at copse

Does anybody know if there will be an video stream of the dynamic events like in Germany?
I just uploaded some photos taken yesterday:

I was busy in Scrutinering, so I did not take many pictures.

Not many people know the difference between resolution and accuracy.

11 EV teams passed EV tech inspection and 8 of these also passed rain so far.

Does anyone know if there is live radio from the dynamic events? Radio Silverstone is not broadcasting.
As far as I have found there is no radio stream online ...
