Hi everyone,

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I'd be really interested in hearing from people who have experience from the industry or have completed one of these degrees.

I'm finishing my bachelor's in aeronautical engineering next summer, from an EU university. I'll have about one full year of experience as a professional aerodynamics engineer (doing just as much mech design as aero analysis), and one year from formula student, by the time of graduation.

I'm considering doing an MSc in Motorsport. I've applied to both Cranfield and Oxford Brookes, and will apply to Southampton (Race car aero) once they open their admissions for next fall.

I am however, a bit split between which one I should actually go for in the end. Especially considering I already have quite a lot of practical experience. I'd therefore value network, thesis placement options and more substantial taught modules (although somewhat applied), over more basic, practical experience. By the way they're marketed, I get the impression that OB is more trackside, and Cranfield is more R&D oriented, but I really don't trust the websites of study programs (been burnt before).

So my question is, does anybody here know how OB and Cranfield actually compare regarding this? And also which is actually better for an F1/motorsport career?

Noen her som av erfaring vet hvordan man konverterer ECTS-GPA til UK-skala? Ser det er litt forskjellige svar på Google.

Ser for eksempel noen mastergrader krever first degree, tilsvarende A. Er liksom 4.5/5.0, som teknisk sett er A i snitt, nok da? Eller må man opp på. 4.625/5.0 for å matche 3.7/4.0 (som er konverteringen jeg har sett et par steder for UK til US).

LLMs har ikke peiling, så ikke ut etter noen som spør Chat for meg. Vil høre fra folk som faktisk vet, før jeg eventuelt tar meg bryet å plage de aktuelle universitetene med eposter.

Hvorfor tror an altfor stor andel av bilister i Trondheim at taxifelt er fritt frem, inkludert biler med forbrenningsmotorer som aldri har hatt lov til å kjøre i dem engang? Er ikke folk klare over at man får nærmere 10k i bot?

Har skjedd flere ganger at jeg som tohjuling nesten har blitt drept av folk som ulovlig legger seg i taxifelt, uten å blinke eller sjekke blindsone. Men de sparer vel 10 sekunder, så det er jo greit.

At what milage/time interval have you guys replaced your timing chains, tensioners and guides? I have an 08, with 120.000km. Is it premature to do it already?

Finding it difficult to find a proper source on this.
