definetly go down to weribee take LOTS and i mean lots of photos. There are some really good cars at the aussie comp and take lots of detailed photos and ask lots of questions. It gives you a really good idea of what to expect. Ive been to an aussie comp and i was lucky enough to goto hockenheim with the team this year, and the comp just changes your perspective on the whole event.
Im part of the monash team, come down and have a chat were happy to share secrets if there is such a thing. If you cant find us just look for the big wings. |

I was part of the UTS team two years ago, when our car actually ran... Its an awesome event and i wish the lack of organisation of the UTS team at the time hadn't put me off. All the best to those going.
FALCONSR, if you can make it down, it'll be really worthwhile. Speak to as many peopel as you can and ask heaps of questions. its worth learning as much as possible. Definitely keen to see pics and vids if you can get them.
