Our project had come to an end. We have finished the car and competed in Formula Student UK at Silverstone track.
The last few weeks consisted of long day and night work on the car.
Here you can find a short description of what was happening for the last few days.
To September the Vikings will start designing the next car, The Viking IV
Looking good

Chassis is 99% finished. Final elements like suspension brackets 
ake the most time because they need to be aligned very precisely. Now the hard job is to assemble all crucial parts, make sure they fit well, and after that disassemble everything and send it for painting.
More parts have arrived. Suspension is now complete with new Ohlins dampers. We ordered 4 sets of different stiffness springs – to choose the best ones during testing. AP Racing master cylinders have also arrived and are now mounted to the pedal box – waiting to be assembled to the chassis.
Bodywork models are getting in shape. They were shaped by hand out of styrofoam, than covered with filler and grinded to fine surface. These models will be used for making molds for the end bodywork parts.
This Friday (28.05.10) we are having a open house. Everyone is welcome to come and see how our progress is. We will perform a presentation about the project.
Data-logger Update

The new data-logger PCB has finally arrived from the manufacturer.
This monster of a PCB features audio support, video capture (USB Webcam), Wifi, 3G(USB), Bluetooth, GPS, a 600MHz ARM processor running Linux and integrated Compact Flash for the FPGA.
On top of that it has it's own standalone power-backup with integrated Li-ion batteries.
We're very eager to get to work on implementing the final software and hardware(VHDL) components, so we can have a fully functional data-logger for the Silverstone event.
And the winner is....

SDU Vikings went for a gokart race the 16-05-10 to find the fastest viking.
We needed to find out who is going to drive the Viking III and just have some fun.
The overall winner is Andreas Mehl.
The results can be found by reading on.
Full throttle

The Project is at full throttle right now. The rest of suspension parts have arrived – uprights, hubs, rockers. It was all milled out of aluminum blocks. The new design comparing to last year is almost half the weight. We have also got the Quaife differential to our worshop – it is a limited slip differential widely used in Formula Student projects. It was used it our previous cars and it has proven it’s high performance and reliability.
