Dress to Impress

The CMT 2010 FSAE team should look quite charming in this year team shirt.

Thanks, again goes to the highly skilled and helpful staff at Ace Promotions, we should be sporting this flash new tops in coming weeks. A slight chnage from last years colours but still pleasing and keeping with our cars scheme we should still remain our proffessional look as we hope to continue looking as great as we feel our engineering work is.

Thanks again to all the staff at Ace Promotions for their continued help and support, with special thanks going to Michelle Pullella for providing such friendly help both in 2009 and this year.

Targa West 2010

Well thanks to the organisation of John Hurney, Curtin Motorsport was invited to put on a static display of the '09 FSAE race car today.

Was a great day, the sun came out for everyone to get an amazing up close view of the racing.

UWA motorsport and Edith Cowan Racing (the other two FSAE teams from WA), put on a dynamic demonstration prior to the targa west cars arriving in Perth.

UWA's Pete Marsh was setting a cracking pace through the course but came slightly unstuck as he tried to flick the rear of the car around the hair-pin on Riverside Drive (Swan Bells end).

They damaged the sidepod of their cars body work but simply removed it and took to the course once again to really hightlight the performance of the FSAE racecars.


Unfortunately CMT have been troubled with a low oil pressure problem and having blow an engine earlier in the year at the Colie motorplex from the same problem we opted to not risk driving our car on the day. We have had moderate success trying to solve the problem during the year, moving towards a dry sump oil system but this has now showing signs having it's own problems.

Shortly the '09 race car will be dismantled to re-use suspension components for the Twenty10 racecar. This saves on cost and manufacturing time which are both of short supply.

After having a team shake up to stir engineers into being more productive we are making good head way towards a rolling car. We have set a team deadline of the 8th of November to have a fully running and operation racecar. It's a push but it's by no means unachievable.

Our computer model is looking great and we believe this year we are going to produce our most well engineered car yet.

Keep your eyes glued to this page to keep 'In Tune' with team progress over the next two months, big things are set to happen.

A picture of the switch that manually switches on our electronic water pump (a small joke to keep up team spirits)

Hiding inside the side pod is our muffler, might I am that it's fairly loud (it will have to be quieter this year)

A view of beautiful Perth, the weather was nice for the day.
