Smitty’s Video Lectures on Racecar Engineering
Here are Smitty’s video lectures on Introduction to Racecar Engineering assembled into one post. I am sure you will find these 20 videos to be of great value.
MDA2018 UCI Phantom FSAE Autocross
This video captures the first autocross run by Matt Clark at the 2018 FSAE Lincoln competition. If I remember correctly is was 62.7sec, just behind their earlier 61.9sec run. Matt’s second run, the final of four runs, was anticipated to be even better but there was a problem with the car.
This view of the course, driver, and front wheels is excellent for understanding the challenges of this competition.
