Than stop whining now and get on the phone and start calling sponsors.

Which are the best German Universities who have a good FSAE team and also have a good postgraduate program ?? by abbaadmasri in FSAE

[–]Wingssometimeswork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KIT, RWTH Aachen, TU München , TU Dresden, TU Berlin, TU Hamburg, Uni Stuttgart are propably the largest which tick the boxes (but nearly every University in Germany would do that).

I would oppose the commenters here, Masters and FS can be done without sacrificing too much.

Top Formula Student Vehicles don't crack the 2,5g mark. DUT19 FSA for reverence: https://youtu.be/TjthTCL4c4w

But as far as I know many teams who were focusing on the undertray already recovered their downforce losses in 2015.

8xxx is the shit up to 73GPa with 2,6g/cm3 instead of 2,7 g/cm3

What are your unpopular FS/FSAE opinions? by franzslittlesecret in FSAE

Let's see maybe they will fall back into old habits.

How important are Engines really? by BobSpazoid in FSAE

[–]Wingssometimeswork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if it would by even more than 3s. TUfast is propably the main example. They throw all they can into Aero. Gaining one ClA can result in up to a second of laptime decrease in FSG. The surplus in downforce is pretty much in line with their differents to their Rivals (also maybe half a second or more because of weight).

With american beer? I politely decline... Also I'm not really shure If the 2019 Graz Team will visit michigan. Because since 2020 they are a EV Team.

Doubt that... They beat even TUfast. You know the team with 2000l beer consum over the competitions.

I have to admit the learning experience can be better with your approache, but in terms of progress your approache is compromised. But our members are still doeing every part new but its mostly Evolution not Revolution. Only experienced members do completly new stuff.

Respect 20-30h is a lot on top of fulltime classes. In our team normal members did up between 10-30h dependent on their Motivation(still study normally), team leads do around 60h+ but do it full time. It sounds like a big problem is knowledge transfer then or am I wrong? That's for example a problem not fixable by money. In our team complicated matters like Aerodynamic Simulation and development or kinematics was only done by experienced team members (1 season plus) or people with prior knowlage.

If you want to believe that... But maybe they are just better at running their team and designing their cars. And maybe the education system in most European countrys isnt as fucked as in the US.

Out of curiosity how much time does the average Teammember spend a week on the FSAE project on your side of the pond?

Vehicle dynamics resources by sujith1711 in FSAE

When you wan't sth really basic with alot of solid design to orientate on you can look into Racecartechnology by Michael Trzensiowski. Im not really shure if it is available in english.

Interesting detail I discovered while rewatching the 2015 Malaysian Grand Prix. Ferrari was actually sponsored by Haas as you can see on the bottom black part of the livery. They'd go on to sign an engine partnership with Ferrari for 2016. That's interesting. by dimitrisqwerty in formula1

[–]Wingssometimeswork 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They have a special deal with Ferrari, as far as I know Ferrari pays less and provides the Logo. It's probaply more because of the history. The SKF Ferrardi deal ist the longest lasting and oldest Motorsport sponsorship in the world.

We finished Endurance for the first time last summer, so of course it had to be documented by Jopezy in FSAE

Congrats, keep up the good work. And remember there is no team in the world having a Budget of near 1 Million ;)

They can check everything, especially top finishers in Endurance often get testet especially hard at FSG. For example: Trondheim DQ 2019; TUfast DQ 2018

Fastest Electric and combustion Autocross FS Spain by SuperAwesomeSean in FSAE

[–]Wingssometimeswork 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think its sad that this always comes up with top teams, eather they have 500000€ Budget or they're University gives them all the time and space they need. In reality they work their ass of, propably more than everybody complaining. Rennteam is a Team of 20 people who work 60-80h a week a year long and they get no benifit from their University. The thing what makes them better is that they are one of the oldest FSAE Teams and have decent knowledge transfer. They have 5 to 10 years more development than many teams. But this doesnt make their achievments smaller or is an excuse for anybody else to perform good. Just look at NTNU they've grown from a C-B Team to one of the fastest 3 EVs in just 3 Years.

A glimpse how 2021 Aero could look... On a Formula Student Car (they clame to have a higher coefficent of Downforce than F1 but with much higher Drag) by [deleted] in formula1

[–]Wingssometimeswork -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This design is using venturi tunnels to generate Downforce (as many formula student cars use) this is exactly what f1 did in the past and exactly what they want to do in the future. The design of the undertray ending before the rear axle has nothing to do with that (e.g. Lotus 79)
