I am also eager to here any news from Japan, maybe OFRAC can fill us in.

I know the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor Team and Car arived intact, but haven't heard anything since Wednesday. They have limited internet access.

Yep, they had good internet before they changed hotels to go pickup the car.

Thats the last I heard from them.

Who would have thought...no internet access in Japan, i would have thought they'd all be wired up gps style with on the fly camera live on the internet or something

Just got word:

Congrats to Sophia for a First place finish, and U of M Ann Arbor placed 3rd and won 7 awards.

Anyone have all result??
I really want to know the Reasult...

[RagingGrandpa]

FYI, skidpad and Accel were delayed and cut to one driver only, due to light rain, and the (very dry) course was still enforced as WET. Made for an interesting morning.

[Smasheart]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Thanks!!! Very Muuuuuuuuuuch!!!

[HA11S]

Thanks RagingGrandpa for result.
JSAE will issue the official result.xls in some days.

We had a hard time with Inspection and couldn't run accel and skid.
my friend of kinki univ said scniteer of E place pointed out reservoir tank,
and at the re-inspection, scniteer of another place said "you don't have to fix this"

I don't know detail though, I heard that U of M pointed out mistake of scniteer...

Speed of autoX is faster than last year and our 30HP V2 doesn't catch up 4-bangers anymore

our machine...


I found the pic of Ulsan at noise/brake test.


Z at our hotel..
