Aero Information Souce: university courses websites

Hello everyone

Like others, I've been loking for some information about aerodynamics in cars. I know a good book is the best souce (Hucho) but I [still] cannot find it for a good price. So I keep google-searching meanwhile

Today I found a very good piece of information here

KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Swedish)
Vehicle Aerodynamics Course
http://www2.mech.kth.se/courses/5C1211/Kursram.htm

You will find lecture notes, presentations, including good graphs from Hucho or Barnard! Even material from car manufacturers that do external lectures (Volvo, Scania). Of course you may need sometimes previous knowledge to follow just some slides without the explanation, but part of the course seem very intruductory and some of you just learning the basics (like me) may find it interesting. It it is free and better than nothing

Anyway, I just realized that many universities must have courses about car aerodynamics, and they may share a lot of information (mainly for students) in their course website. The quality of the information you may find can vary, but it migh be worth a look.
We may find a very good course for us to "follow"...

Cheers,
