Bob,

ECU guys beat you to it, but with maybe a little less speed The guys really like the simple approach to cars and we chuffed to see GFR go down the same road.

I agree that rebuilding the dampers is pretty easy. Feasible to do it track side in a half an hour or so. ECU keeps two full sets for this reason. Although two full sets of the Penskes still costs less than one set of the Ohlins.

Like Z, I am also curious as to how it was received by the judges. Our team was criticized in Oz for not having enough adjustments.

Car did 3.8s Accel, 2nd in skidpad by almost nothing, 2nd fastest car in Autocross, and quickest car in Endurance. Big dynamic improvement over the previous car that had more damper adjustments. However with the DASDs the students had to learn a lot more about rebuilding.
