We used it for our FSAE car way back in the 90's (before I was the old man I am now)! Spawned many design projects for us.


Ahh yes. I have seen that book around the FSAE room here as well. It's definitely one of the more well-worn books! I'll have to give it a read.

I REALLY want to attend an OptimumG training session. Claude Rouelle is incredible and is the lead judge at the FSAE competition in Michigan (and also at the newer Formula North in Barrie). One of the guys on our FSAE is actually working for him right now after he got a personal invite from Claude during judging sessions. He also got personal invites from quite a few other judges...he's somewhat of vehicle dynamics whiz-kid to say the least!

I'll have to look more into the Optimum software as well.
