[IC] FSAE Michigan 2024 Endurance Run-UConn Racing
Переглядів 6 тис.8 місяців тому
Here is UCONN Formula SAE's full endurance run from 2024 IC Comp. We battled through shifting issues during this run. Tyler did the first stint and I did the last stint. I ended up keeping the car in 2nd gear through most of my run as the shifting issues started to worry me. During this comp Tyler did our whole Accel run in 2nd gear, and if I hadn't hit a cone in autocross we would've ended 3rd...

Video of my first run during FSAE Michigan Endurance. We were at the top of the second to last group to go out aka 7th in autocross. I set the fastest lap time of the day with a 125.8 on the third lap which was one of my two clean laps.

    @dingoatethebabyagain 8 місяців тому

    Good aggression from the driver. Clearly comfortable in the backstreatch area but struggling with optimal pace throughout most of the slow speeds. Line through the zigzags and under braking needs work. A Lot of unused performance.

    • @HixsonRacing777
      @HixsonRacing777 7 місяців тому

      Well I had the fastest lap time out of anyone for endurance. I doubt you’ve raced much at all or maybe the cam perspective is confusing you on where the car is but I’m better through the slaloms and tight stuff than pretty much every other car at comp

      I don't know. He was really impressive through the slaloms. These cars are often hard to rotate sometimes especially when all the weight is in the rear. This car's setup seems pointy and his throttle use mid slalom was good to keep up speed without plowing off line. I do agree tho lots of lockup while braking, could improve threshold braking slightly. But other than that no wonder they had fastest laptime of endurance. Although from me personally, I would've taken it a bit easier lol through some of the on throttle points especially on the entry to the overtaking zones. Bro was all over the place but hey if your comfortable with that all the more to you.
