Woohoo! I got into the SAE today

I'm stoked

Don't really know what that means but it seems like you'll be talking to lots of fellow tyre geeks about tyre stuff?

Thanks

SAE is Society of Automotive Engineers. That link is the schedule for a presentation we'll be doing at the Motorsports Engineering Conference in Detroit on Dec 5th. It's a presentation on the tire research we did for Virtual RC Racing 4. Hopefully I'll get to talk to a few other tire geeks too. Can't be a bad place to make friends. Renault F1's Symonds usually attends this. Bobby Rahal is the keynote speaker. Should be interesting

You should work on the tire model in LFS. :P

I don't think so, no. Part of the reason it's oral only is the proprietary nature of the data. Yeah, even with the RC tires we're being secretive about a lot of it as one of the car manufacturers is involved and is interested in the data.

No recordings of any kind can be made at the conference including pictures and audio. From what I'm told this promotes a more open dialogue between attendees.

Thanks Actually, Doug is handling the presentation since he does this sort of thing all the time and I never have (plus I will probably have stage fright to a large extent ). I might answer a few questions on data reduction and the VRC end of things if anyone asks, but the majority of it is Doug's deal. I'm sort of along for the ride on this one, really.
