I would love to have the opportunity to do this!

Yeah me too

[@SRT302]

Can I be an engineer and a driver at the same time? Because I like doing both and I want to do both

[@Wingstone-mo2hm]

Yes, I work that way in Mexico and it's good but a lot of work. You get a lot of experience, and you understand better how the car works. It's very important if something goes wrong while you're driving

1:50 ARe they serious ? Most of racing drivers in major formulas like F1, Indy, Le Mans and WRC back in the 70s and 80s were driving monsters of power without a single assistance, all at mad speeds and for hours, days, and they were not only the opposite of sportmen in terms of fitness, but most of them were over 30/35 YO, and they were at the top of their respective careers. And those young already fit and fresh F SAE drivers who make very short runs at low speeds need to follow a strict athletes training to be selected ? What for ? We are truly living in an almost facist era, from school to health politics, to communication and businesses. Eevery aspect of life actually. They're making the simple things complicated and elitist. That's useless. And where's the fun where it's supposed to be, like in sport ? It's a waste of time, energy, money, talent, ressources... Western civilisation had lost common sense. It seeks perfection in the least stuff, just for the sake to look perfect and serious. I'm sad for the youngs today

[@Wingstone-mo2hm]

Well fitness really helps when you spend around two hours inside the car and an hour racing

[@ulysse21]

@@Wingstone-mo2hm In this case the'd better prepare through meditation and yoga ;)

[@Wingstone-mo2hm]

@@ulysse21 Sorry, but I disagree. From experience strength training helps to withstand the forces and to help make fast sudden movements efficiently. These cars have no driver assists and are very tiresome after long periods of time

[@ulysse21]

@@Wingstone-mo2hm I know, but just read carefully my 1st comment. I make a comparison between them and professionnal drivers from an era where motorsports were even harder than today. They dealt with it. And F SAE don't run for long period of time.

@@ulysse21 I read you first comment, I am coming from q place of experience. Currently I am a driver in Mexico, and I wanted to share my two pennies

[@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur]

to be a fast race car driver you need track knowledge, that buttery perfect balance in the car's setup, and you need to have raced to the moon and back in experience-millage. and that when combined with racecraft, is what makes champions. "yeah, but can you get outa the car in 5 seconds?" "we got cones too.. uhm, HEY! wanna see how many pull-ups i can do?!"

[@whcwcjecjecuecuw6654]

Formula sae is more about the engineering than competitive racing itself. The 5 sec thing is a safety rule. The Drivers are 99% of the time the weakest link of the team but its a project for engineering students after all so you cant really expect too much
