Any more on this? Results from 2012?
Great event as always. It was really interesting to see the combustion cars come out with some really fast times at the end of the day. The Aero debate looks like its going to continue for a while...
I may still only be starting out my career as an engineer, but Bill Milliken remains one of the big motivations for why I love my job.
Until I picked up RVCD I thought I had a pretty good handle...

I cant believe this has happened again.....
Ok, So we started a facebook event.
http://www.facebook.com/events/151845334948229/
We've added a rough event layout including a possible autocross track layout. We're trying to match the...
Firstly, Thanks for the mentions Scott. I 100% agree with your comments as do I agree with the discussions put forward so far by Geoff, Z and Kev.
The points raised here and the ideas put forward...
Hi everyone. Now that I'm working at the University as a faculty advisor to the UTS team, I thought it was time that some official pre-event testing was organised. From my own personal experience,...

I'll definitely be there again and the UTS guys will be too. Post event karting & seminars sound like a great idea.
I like the idea of specific track areas for each team to marshal. Breaking up...
More recent UTS vids (from late 2011)

Heaps more on the youtube channel. I'm going to miss...
I'm currently writing up a pretty detailed account of my drive in the 4 different cars for next years team. I guess I can put up a shortened version on here.
Would be very keen to see what all...
Change of plans,
We can only bring our 2011 car now, as we have been forced to pull the engine from our 2010 due to a transmission issue.
We will still bring a spare motec for the 2010 Monash...
We will have a spare M400 that you can use for the old Monash car, but no throttle body.
Personally, I'd really like to see the M10 there as it is the closest thing to our UTS car running in...
UTS is attending the swap this year. We may also be bringing the 2010 car (spares for the event) in complete form, so we may have 2 cars at the swap.
Will let you know once I know more. Either way...
By far one of the most stupid things I have seen for a long time. Who needs springs when you can just put your main chassis tube into extreme bending instead.
No frontal roll structure = face to...
After looking at the results from FSG, would anyone disagree with adopting the fuel efficiency formula of the Germans.
The FSG system seems much more effective, as it considers a competitors event...
UTS is completely in support of these 3 points Natalie.
It should be a fantastic starting point, and should lead to wider improvements in future years.
In regards to the student committee, are...
Geoff,
Awesome to hear you are getting involved with the planning this year.
I'll do my best to contact our team alumni, to try and get them involved in the event. I am unsure of the...
UTSM is a little behind, but still going well. Chassis is all tacked up and awaiting final welding.
Machining is under-way, and should be done soon.
All our laser cutting will be in soon, and...
Ultimately, I think the Australian Comp needs a lot more interest & support from alumni team members. After being involved with this competition for a while, it seems that most teams just loose there...
Just though I'd start a forum post here, for the australian event competitors to list and discuss ideas / improvements for our event.
Personally, I would love to see a stronger focus on spectator...

Just as well "basic arithmetic" isn't one of the judging criteria in FSAE http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Turns out I'm an Engineer, not Claude....
I'll...
I think we currently hold the record for the biggest change to world ranking after the Australian event in 2010.
After AUS 2009 - 393 rd
After AUS 2010 - 191 st
A jump of 223 places. We'll be...
I'm a bit shocked a few of my personal favorites haven't even got a mention yet.
