Well day 2 is over, and the team is running strong!  After a successful day of completing tech and running dynamic events, we are running mid pack, beating most Canadian teams, and running close behind Western who unfortunately had a suspension failure due to a collision with pylons during the autocross.

The team has now started preparing the car for the endurance run tomorrow. We start 25th out of the 53 cars entered in the event, based on our fastest autocross time. 

After the events, the team was able to hit the dyno where we were able to show an impressive 70 wheel horespower for a naturally aspirated engine, which is very impressive for the restrictions put on the motor.

Thanks for checking in and a final update will be coming soon. 

Reporting from Fontana California, I am sharing with you our expeirences as Durmach UOIT Motorsports and our first attempt at a FormulaSAE event.  Off to a good start, the team has passed technical inspection, tilt test as seen above and is ready to finish the final approval process in the morning before starting the dynamic events.  The team would like to thank the sponsors again for helping us get to the event in a smooth and professional manner.  The team has already recieved many compliments from other teams and judges on how great our first year car is.  Keep an eye on the website for further updates and a post event summary.

Durmach UOIT Motorsports is now only weeks away from heading to Fontana California for the schools first ever FormulaSAE competition.  The car is now complete and is looking and performing great.  After a few test sessions, one at Shannonville Motorsports Park in Belleville Ontario, and with most bugs worked out, the team is hoping for a successful completion of all events at the competition.  To send the team any goodluck words for the event, please send them to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

At this stage, the team would like to greatly thank everyone who has assisted in this project thus far.  A special thanks to all of the sponsors listed on the right of your screen. After returning from California the team has already planned a special day where everyone who has contributed to this car can come out and see it in action as well as chat with the team.

With the 2007 DURMACH UOIT Motorsports FormulaSAE car well near completion, the team is in the final stages of preparation for the 2007 FormulaSAE WEST competition.  The graphics for the new bodywork are being generated and the engine is ready to fire.  The team has just recieved its first set of brand new Hoosier racing slicks in dry and wet compounds.  The chassis is being stripped for paint after which it will go through final assembly before testing. Keep an eye out for the team around the region this summer as there will be lots of +10000 RPM noise being made.
