Let’s get this party started.
Things to look forward to at FSAE-M 2018:
- Endurace lap length extended by ~25% so more cars can fit on the track, may include a bit of the banking from the speedway. Added length will also be more challenging for drivers to memorize.
- Note: photo area will be eliminated and test area is moved. No one will be able to leave from the back gate while endurance is going on!
- FSAE app launches to improve spectator experience and aid teams.
- 2nd year of the 710cc rules. See if any teams try capitalize on larger disp.
- 2nd year of all dynamic events open on Friday.
Returning Top 10:
001 - Stuttgart (seems like it’s their comp to lose)
002 - GFR (will challenge for the overall win)
003 - TUG (will also challenge for the top)
005 - Michigan (Turbo power could unseat the Germans)
006 - San Jose (Triumph Triple, no replacement for displacement!)
007 - Minnesota (Newcomers to the Top 10, Amazing finish last year, can they repeat?)
008 - Cornell (More turbo power, defending accel champs, could challenge for the podium)
009 - RIT (A sophisticated package, with some luck they could move up)
010 - Wisconsin (Consistent strong team, big power to weight, might be their year.)
And of course many other teams that had bad luck last year are contenders for the top spots.
