Dear Formula SAE Participants and Organizers:

Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan.

Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now more than 30 years old, Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems engineering, design and problem solving, along with the teaming challenges of collaboration and cooperation. In short, Formula SAE, along with all of the SAE Collegiate Design Series competitions, provides the skills and experiences needed for a well-rounded engineering education.

In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from many different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will win first place, others will not. But all will leave here a winner because they will be better engineering students.

Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank everyone for their hard work, support, volunteerism and participation. The experiences and the learning that you gain this weekend will last throughout your lives.

Sincerely,

Dr. Andrew Brown Jr., P.E., FESD, NAE

TThe Formula SAE ® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula style, autocross racing cars. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the freedom to express their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions on the overall vehicle design. Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing, building, testing and

preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions themselves give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creation and their engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world. Registered for this event are 120 teams from colleges and universities. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort.

For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended sales market is the nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Therefore, the car must have very high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The manufacturing firm is planning to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited production run and the prototype vehicle should actually cost below $25,000. The challenge to the design team is to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents. Each design will be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car.

Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance trials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations.

Static EvEntSdesign report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from the automotive and motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the design is to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team members will win the design event.

cost report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will follow the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The objective of the event is for the participants to learn and understand the manufacturing techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase rather than fabricate themselves.

presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and deliver a comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a fake manufacturing firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend autocross racing market and that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed.

dynamic EvEntSacceleration: The race cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from a standing start over a distance of 75 meters.

autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking and cornering into one event. The results of the Autocross scores determine the starting order for endurance.

Skidpad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radius turn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of the number 8, the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g).

Endurance: Over a distance of 1.1 miles the cars have to prove their durability under long-term conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, fuel economy, reliability – the cars have to prove it all.

The Tankia 2009, being the latest iteration of the successful FSAE car, can be best described with the adjectives ‘powerful’, ‘lightweight’ and ‘innovative’.

Sporting a Yamaha R6 four-cylinder engine with custom intake, cams, head and exhaust which delivers 72.8 kW of power and smooth, wide-band torque, the Tankia 2009 packs the necessary drive to cross the acceleration finish line after just 3.73 seconds (European record).

By using carbon fiber composites and lightweight metals such as aluminum and titanium, the car weights 195 kg (ready to race) and is thanks to its 5th generation monocoque structure yet very stiff and sturdy. The mechanism for detaching the rear-end has been improved, so that it can be removed in just about 7 minutes providing full engine access.

Using Simulation Software such as OptimumK, Vedyna, Ansys and lots of acquired data we were able to better adapt the Tankia 2009’s suspension to the nature of FSAE tracks, e.g. optimizing camber change while cornering.

To help the driver as well as the engineers, the car has advanced electronic systems for data acquisition and driver assistance.

Rich with history and tradition the RIT Formula Racing Team has competed in 32 Formula SAE and Formula Student competitions on three different continents. In 18 years, RIT has been awarded numerous accolades, including overall titles in the US, England, and Australia.

The goal of the RIT Formula SAE Racing Team is to design and build a fast, simple, and reliable prototype racing car for the non-professional weekend autocrosser. The car needs to be affordable, easy to maintain, and dependable on race day. Safety systems and ergonomics must ensure a secure and comfortable environment for the driver. In addition, aesthetics, fit and finish are critical to attracting the potential buyer. To fulfill these needs, the race car was modeled in Pro/Engineer and iterative analysis was conducted using Pro/Mechanica, ANSYS, and CFdesign. Many components were also physically tested using both destructive and non-destructive methods, depending upon the application. Dynamometers were used to ensure proper tuning of the engine, dampers, and brakes. The car underwent extensive testing and tuning to validate critical design aspects and guarantee reliability.

The design objective of the 2010 MRacing team is to create a vehicle capable of scoring at least 800 points at the 2010 Formula SAE Michigan competition. Using a combination of historical competition data and vehicle simulation tools, targets for vehicle-level performance and reliability were established, and these targets were then used to set appropriate system, sub-system, and component objectives in light of packaging, serviceability, and cost constraints.

Vehicle performance targets were set to produced a score of 800 points or greater in all previous FSAE Michigan competitions. To meet these targets, a vehicle must be easy to operate, calibrate, and maintain. It must also properly control the dynamics of the tires and sprung mass, have powerful engine and braking systems, and sufficient durability to last through all dynamic events. Thus, the design of the MR10 consists of a 183kg spaceframe car with independent suspension and 10? wheels powered by a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine with E85 fuel. To verify the performance of the vehicle, the team has conducted extensive pre-build tests and simulations, and plans physical tests that will validate designs on track.

The 2010 design goals for The University of Akron have been based on evaluation of previous designs to yield one of Zips Racing’s most competitive vehicles. The main focus was on reducing weight, improving skid pad performance, and reducing the acceleration time. These enhancements are being made to increase competitiveness throughout the competition.

The Zips Racing team has met their main goal of reducing weight through many adjustments. This goal was achieved through removing the rear frame, utilizing custom lightweight one piece magnesium wheels, and removing 8% of each subsystems total weight. Other gains in performance are being achieved through the use of highly tunable dampeners, an advance ECU and data acquisition system, and the addition of a custom designed dry sump oiling system.

Global Formula Racing is the first innovative global collaboration of its kind in the history of both the US-based Formula SAE and EU-based Formula Student programs. The former BA Racing Team from the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg-Ravensburg (DHBW-R), Germany, and the Beaver Racing Team from Oregon State University (OSU) have combined forces to compete as a single entity. The two universities will share physical and intellectual resources to create a highly competitive vehicle worthy of international reputation.

Design, manufacturing, and testing will occur at both schools. The collaboratively developed GFR 2010 design will be used to manufacture two identical cars; one at the OSU campus in Corvallis, Oregon, USA, and the other at the DHBW-R campus in Friedrichshafen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

This season is the fourth round of Formula SAE for Rennteam Uni Stuttgart. After a second place in 2008 the team’s ambition is to win FSAE Michigan and complete this season with 4 victories in 4 competitions.

These three major goals are the fundamental part of our success over the past years:Complete the car - Finish the endurance - Win the competition.

The basis of the F0711-4 is a CFRP monocoque accommodating driver and powertrain and withstanding the forces induced by the pushrod-activated unequal length double A-arm suspension. 4-way adjustable Sachs F3 dampers with through rod technology were chosen for their lightweight design and reduced friction. Both fitted to the requirements of the 13” Hoosier slicks. The driver is fixed by a 6 point safety harness in a hybrid fabric seat. A modified Honda CBR 600 RR engine with student-built dry sump system and modified camshafts, propels the 11-4, transferring its power via chain to a clutch pack limited slip differential. Tripod joints on steel driveshafts transmit the torque to the rear wheels. Shifting is realised by an electro-pneumatic system operated via shiftpaddles attached to both sides of the steering wheel.

This is UOIT Motorsports’ third car to date. With a large amount of re-structuring within the team, the goal of this car was to increase the dynamic performance while solving the reliability issues that came with the previously built car. To achieve this, major changes were made to the chassis, powertrain, and aerodynamics of the car. The chassis now uses a front carbon panel monocoque, lightening the entire chassis by 20lbs, and stiffening it by an average of 250% from the previous steel tube frame. A real time fully adjustable aerodynamic system has been developed for the front and rear of the car, which will give maximum downforce through the corners and minimize the drag in the straight. The powertrain now features a VIPEC ECU system, working with a variable length intake and equal length exhaust runners powering a Suzuki 600 GSxR. UOIT would like to thank title sponsors DURMACH and Multimatic Inc. for their endless support in the build process of the F2010 car.

It was determined that an endurance event victory would be the standard by which to judge the success of this vehicle. By virtue of the endurance event, a car capable of succeeding here would triumph in the acceleration, skid pad, fuel economy or autocross portions as well.

From this, several design criteria were formed; reliability, adjustability and driveability. Following the saying, “To finish first you must first finish”, our primary goal of reliability became a necessity, considering that 69% of the 2009 Formula SAE Michigan entrants failed to finish the endurance event. Through racing in numerous SCCA Solo events, the necessity to make quick adjustments for the plethora of conditions experienced during a race season was critically obvious.

The final component of our design philosophy, driveability, was taken from the masses of data attained during hours of racing and testing endeavors. Driveability has been an overlooked point on previous entries due mainly to the difficulty in quantifying changes and their effect. Several key aspects were determined to have a great effect on this; engine output, brake system performance, driver controls and comfort.

The 2010 race car is the second vehicle designed and built by the UConn Racing Team. We are driving forward by improving all aspects of our 2010 car. To increase performance the vehicle’s weight has been greatly reduced and the suspension was redesigned using optimum geometry for a variety of racing conditions. Each corner will utilize the same lightweight components which keeps maintenance costs low. The 2010 car is powered by a Suziki GSx-R 600 using custom tuned intake and exhaust systems. An aftermarket ECU and engine dyno provided the engineers with tools to optimize engine parameters. Power is delivered to the wheels through a lightweight drivetrain utilizing a cam and pawl type differential and equal length axles. The chassis was designed around driver safety with suspension and engine mounting points in mind. The driver is protected by a carbon fiber and Kevlar body which is lightweight and durable. An electro-pneumatic shifting system, adjustable controls, and digital outputs allow the driver to stay focused on the course. The 2010 UConn race car will provide the driver with predictable handling, ease of maintenance, power at the wheels, and years of fun!

The Queen’s University Formula SAE Team consists of 15 individuals that are dedicated to conceiving, engineering, fabricating, testing, and racing a world class Formula SAE car. The team is unique in that a large majority of the car is fabricated in house by team members (i.e. driveshafts, CV joints, differential housing, hubs, printed circuit boards, brake rotors, uprights) over the course of approximately four months to reduce cost. The team concentrated their engineering efforts in areas that will produce the best competition result within resource limitations.

The Queen’s car runs Goodyear D2696 tires to provide maximum acceleration capabilities and good kinematic flexibility. The wheel packages, carbon fiber control arms, and chassis have been designed to minimize mass while meeting stiffness targets. CG height and inertia have been further reduced through the use of front pullrods, a 55 degree seatback angle, a dry sump oiling system, a 44” track, and a 60” wheelbase. The Honda F4i has been chosen for its reliability and driveability. The end result is a reliable, stiff, lightweight, highly adjustable, race car.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is competing with a light, tube-frame, turbocharged, single-cylinder powered vehicle for 2010.

An E85 ethanol fueled KTM 525-xC engine that has been bored to a displacement of 565 cm3 powers the 2010. An IHI RHB32 turbocharger draws air through the restrictor and a student designed barrel throttle. A chain connects the electro-pneumatically actuated transmission to the final drive. A Drexler Motorsport Formula Student clutch type limited slip differential sends power from inboard tripod joints, through 300M half shafts and out to Rzeppa style constant velocity joints that drive aluminum hubs.

Push rods connect Cane Creek Double Barrel four way adjustable shocks to the double, unequal length wishbone suspension and the Goodyear D2696 tires mounted to 13 inch wheels. Tilton master cylinders, AP Racing calipers and four outboard, floating rotors constitute the braking system. The driver is able to adjust brake balance electronically through the steering wheel, and rear anti-roll stiffness through a lever in the cockpit.

A controller area network connects the Mototron engine control unit, the AiM EVO3 Pro data acquisition system, and the display on the steering wheel. A wireless modem is also able to transmit information to a laptop. It is possible to tune the engine on the fly with the car driving on the track using this connection. braKE : AP Racing Calipers, Custom Rotors cooling : Parallel dual pass with right side fan drivE : Drexler Formula Student differential EnginE : KTM 525xc Fr SuSpEnSion : Dual unequal length a-arms, pushrod actuated Fr/rr tracK : 47”/46” FramE : 4130 Spaceframe FuEl SyStEm : Sequential Fuel injection, with upstream FuEl typE : E85 Ethanol induction : Turbocharged olwH : 100”/54”/42.5” rr SuSpEnSion : Dual unequal length a-arms, pushrod actuated SHiFtEr : Electro Pneumatic tirE : Goodyear D2696 uniQuE : Electronically Adjustable Brake Bias wEigHt : 390lbs wHEElbaSE : 60”

The 2009 University of North Dakota Formula SAE team placed the highest in the history of UND’s involvement in FSAE. This has not in any way relaxed our quest for improvement. UNDFSAE is still pushing hard for every possible increase in performance. With calloused hands, the 2010 team will present the best car UND has ever produced. This year the chassis was professionally profiled and TIG welded with great results. The intake was designed and manufactured in house by UND students and will offer great improvements in both flow and throttle response. The exhaust is made of stainless steel and will be fabricated in house by UND students. The cooling system was completely redesigned to be a dual radiator system that without increasing weight is far more effective at cooling the engine. Most important of all, we have made all of these improvements while dropping almost 75lbs of weight from the car.

For the 2010 FSAE season, The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign FSAE team has continued to build upon the successful designs which yielded excellent results in the ‘07-’09 racing seasons--continuing a 5-year design cycle. Striving for excellence, this year’s design was focused around superior drivability, high quality, and exacting design. A significant addition to the 2009-2010 car design is a complete, CFD-optimized aerodynamics package. Full proof of concept testing yielded significant cornering and performance improvements. Other additions to the car include a carbon fiber body optimized for weight savings as well as aesthetics. The chassis has also been lightened to accommodate the addition of the aerodynamics package without compromising torsional rigidity. The Honda F4i powertrain has been retained, however, high compression pistons have been added to optimize the thermal efficiency and power output. The SLS intake manifold material has been upgraded to rectify the thermal deformation experienced in last year’s intake. Fifth and sixth gears were also removed from this year’s transmission in an effort to reduce rotating mass as well as the overall mass of the car.

Leopard Racing is a third year competitor in the Formula SAE series. The objective for this years team was to complete a vehicle that is well suited for the competition performance wise while still being very reliable. The main goals for this new design were to significantly reduce weight and chassis size from previous vehicles, along with doing an extensive suspension analysis using tire data. The suspension is setup in a simple planar arrangement and push rod actuated at all four wheels, going into Penske shocks and Hypercoil springs set up by Anze Engineering. This year we decided to stay with a similar design for the drive system, using a Torsen differential in a custom aluminum housing. The major change came with the decision to run Taylor-Race half shafts in order to reduce weight. Another significant reduction in weight came from our new Keizer Racing Wheels. The steering rack is now placed on the floor which significantly improved driver comfort, while also helping to further minimize bumpsteer. The combination of weight reduction, extensive suspension analysis, driver training, and more attention to reliability should result in a strong finish for Leopard Racing in 2010.

The 2010 Ryerson Formula SAE car is the team’s most innovative and powerful car to date. Brand new engine components (including an improved intake, exhaust and re-ground cams) work in conjunction with each other to produce more power than ever before, all while having a wider torque band. Gear ratios allow the driver to stay within the torque band as long as possible. Composites have played a major role this year with the inclusion of a fibreglass fuel tank and completely carbon fibre body. Carbon fibre suspension A-arms were created to ensure a very agile yet light car. This year’s steering wheel will be completely carbon fibre, housing a versatile electronic dash. Wrought magnesium uprights, which were designed and machined in-house, ensure that the upright assemblies can withstand any forces applied to them, yet are lighter than comparable aluminum uprights. Data acquisition and integrated sensors provide improved feedback from the car during test and race conditions, while also enhancing the fine tuning of the engine’s mapping capabilities. The mechanical shifter will be set aside for a pneumatic shifting system this year. For more information, visit www.RyersonFormulaSAE.com

This is Florida Atlantic University’s third ever produced race car. This year our team mainly focused on ergonomic and kinematic performance. Weight reduction was also considered as an important design consideration to increase overall vehicle performance. Using CNC’ed uprights and lightweight composite parts provided high strength-to-weight ratios. Through the use of ARBs and linear motion ratios, this car was designed to outperform all other racers. A GSxR-600 was selected as the powerplant for this chassis. The intake was designed around maximum low end performance and high torque. It was manufactured out of aluminum sheet metal. The power was diverted to the rear wheels using a Visco Lok differential. Using “off-the-shelf” Bombardier ATV parts really made the rear drivetrain simple and yet robust. Overall this car will excel in all competitions.

The design focus for the 2010 Ohio State University FSAE car has been to utilize engineering tools such as FEA and CFD to justify new designs.

The steel tube frame chassis was constructed of 4130 Chromoly tubing, and stress relieved in a full steel jig fixture to eliminate residual stresses. The design focused on creating a higher stiffness to weight ratio, reducing the cockpit size, to reduce weight, while still complying with the template rules, and improving serviceability and manufacturing.

The double unequal length A-arm suspension setup was used on all four corners in conjunction with push-rod actuated dampers. The majority of design time was spent using Lotus Suspension Analysis software in order to keep a very high rate of linearity with the roll center migration and motion ratios.

A custom carbon fiber intake manifold was used to feed air into the Honda CBR F4i 608hp powerplant. A custom designed and bent exhaust manifold allows the engine to breathe sufficiently while maintaining exhaust noise levels below the specified 110dBA. braKE : 4 Wheel Disc with Bias Bar cooling : Single, side mounted radiator drivE : Chain Drive with Torsen Differential EnginE : Honda CBR F4i Fr SuSpEnSion : Double unequal length a-arm, pushrod actuated Fr/rr tracK : 1.41m FramE : 4130 Space Frame FuEl SyStEm : EFI FuEl typE : 100 Octane induction : Naturally Aspirated olwH : 2.74m, 1.42m, 1.09m rr SuSpEnSion : Double unequal length a-arm, pushrod actuated SHiFtEr : Electronic tirE : Goodyear D2692 wEigHt : 209kg without driver wHEElbaSE : 1.68m

The 2010 car, FW-10, aspires to improve upon team successes of years past with a new engine program, improved suspension kinematics, completely reworked tubular space frame and emphasis on driver ergonomics. The team set its focus on increasing reliability while shedding weight. Simulation played a immense role during the development process. GT Power and DOE methods were used to develop the rapid-prototyped intake and two-piece stainless exhaust. A partnership with CFdesign allowed flow analysis to be conducted for the cooling system, intake and body, while Racing by Numbers was used to model the suspension system. In addition to simulation, empirical testing was a priority. Several mufflers were tested on the chassis dyno to reveal performance and acoustic gains. Testing of various shear panels to fracture resulted in lightweight solutions. The intake, venturi and head were all flow-tested to improve upon the base design. Two versions of the dampers were dyno-tested to dial-in to the desired damping ratio, and the impact attenuator was crashed in a sled test courtesy of CAPE. The result is a well-packaged and engineered FW-10 that the team is proud to present! braKE : Wilwood Calipers, Tilton Masters & Bias Bar, Rotors: Floating, Steel cooling : Water-cooled, Single Custom Downflow Radiator in Sidepod drivE : Chain Drive, Honda CVs, Differential: Cam and Pawl EnginE : Honda CBR600RR Fr SuSpEnSion : Unequal Length Double A-arms, Pull-rod Actuated Fr/rr tracK : 1260mm / 1210mm FramE : 4130 Space Frame with Aircraft Shear Panels FuEl SyStEm : Electronic Fuel Injection using the MEFI 4 ECU, Student-designed Tank FuEl typE : 100 Octane induction : Naturally Aspirated, Rapid-prototyped Intake and Venturi matErial : Fibreglass: Body; Carbon Fiber Seat, Fan Shroud, Clutch Lever olwH : 2690mm, 1450mm, 1200mm rr SuSpEnSion : Unequal Length Double A-arms, Pull-rod Actuated SHiFtEr : Touch-pad Activated Pneumatic System tirE : Goodyear D2696 20.0x7.0-13 uniQuE : Student-built Muffler, Two-piece Exhaust, Detangler Clutch Lever wEigHt : 485 lbs wHEElbaSE : 1590mm

Istanbul Technical University FSAE Team is a first year competitor in the Formula SAE. The newborn FSAE Team’s first goal is to build a challenging car. To impress the judges, fascinating view with combination of ergonomics is our second goal. In chassis design special importance was given to durability and reliability. Our impact attenuator is chosen by very detailed physical tests with high speed cameras. This allowed our team to test various materials in real conditions. Suspension system, one of the most important subjects of the car, has a convenient damping rate for better stability and concerning performance. After calculations for shock absorbers, it has been decided to carry a choice on bell-crank and pushrod mechanism. Besides the suspension system, steering system was designed to have good handling, stability and linearity. Since the brake system has an enormous affect on performance and safety, brakes are used on each front and rear sides also supporting the independence between front and rear with the aim of a better stability and balance on cornering.

This being our second year competing we are trying to take all that we learned last year and roll it into a car that we hope will be a big step forward in terms of speed and reliability. This being said we have still developed a new differential and redesigned our corner assemblies, taking huge amounts of weight off of each, and tried to trim some weight off every other component we could. Now that we have designed something we feel has a chance at a top thirty finish we just need to make sure it will complete the enduro, and on to spring testing we go.

As always a big thanks to our sponsors, family and friends with out your support none of this would be possible.

The Villanova University Formula SAE team is coming off its very first competition ever last year. The VU-01 finished in the top 20% of registered teams in the endurance/fuel economy event at FSAE Michigan finishing 62nd overall, a very impressive feat for a first year team. This year the team will be bringing the VU-02, a progression of the previous vehicle. The car is a much lighter and much faster version of its predecessor.

The car features a completely new frame that is lighter and stiffer than last year’s car. The team has also redesigned all of the driver controls, uprights and suspension rockers, braking system, exhaust components, and wiring harness. These improvements will help to achieve the team’s goal of removing over 100lbs from the car compared to last year. The team is also going to have more time to tune the car, and optimize suspension set-ups for all of the dynamic events. The goal is to improve upon the overall finishing position by competing in all the events, finishing in the top 30 teams overall. braKE : 4 Outboard cooling : Water Cooled drivE : Chain Driven EnginE : Ninja Zx-6RR Fr/rr tracK : 48/46 FramE : 4130 Steel Tube FuEl SyStEm : Fuel Injected FuEl typE : 93 induction : Naturally aspirated SHiFtEr : Push Pull Cable tirE : Goodyear uniQuE : Non-rotating differential housing wEigHt : 450lbs wHEElbaSE : 63in

ARG10 is Cornell University’s entry in the 2010 Formula SAE Michigan competition. The design of ARG10 takes into account all aspects of the competition and represents Cornell’s vision of what tradeoffs must be made in an FSAE racecar. Components are not designed individually, but rather with the entire system in mind. This ensures that all interactions and interfaces among parts and subsystems create the best performing package. In order to accomplish this, decisions were made using a points analysis system that included, but was not limited to factors of cost, weight, manufacturability, and reliability.

Bradley University’s design criteria for the 2010 year is to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, lower the center of gravity, increase power and reliability. The frame is a 4130 Chromoly space frame that has a torsional rigidity of 1600 lbs/degree and weighs 75 lbs with all tabs mounted on the frame. Unequal length double a-arms suspension is used for the front and rear of the car. The front and rear suspension uses pullrods with Fox Racing dampers with titanium springs vertically mounted to the frame using progressive 1.7 ratio rockers. Ackerman steering was incorporated into the suspension design and is adjustable for 100%, 120% and 150% Ackerman geometry. The front camber is also adjustable through the use of camber plates from 1.5 degrees to 3 degrees. The drive train incorporates a 2001 GSxR600 motor with a CVT transmission to ensure the motor is operating at peak power levels during acceleration. A custom intake was designed to reduce the maximum rpm range to 10,500 rpm where peak power will be made for optimum CVT operation. Bradley expects a top finish in the acceleration event

The University of Wisconsin Platteville has been involved in the Formula SAE Series since 2003. Their Formula team has been, and will continue to be a team that prides themselves on ambitious design and implementation of new ideas. After having an educational year in 2009, they are enthusiastic for the 2010 Michigan Competition. In 2009, the team primarily focused on improving engine horsepower and torque, decreasing overall vehicle weight through detailed analysis of its chassis, drive-train and suspension components, and re-designing the suspension for better maneuverability and handling. This year the team built off of those goals to create a car that now rivals its predecessor. Goals for 2010 consisted of re-designing some of the suspension components to further improve handling, conducting further analysis on the chassis design through finite element analysis and strain gauge testing to improve its strength to weight ratio, and putting a stronger emphasis on manufacturability and cost. Engineering new, reliable, and efficient vehicle components to implement in their Formula cars gets them excited for competition every year!

After winning the William C. Mitchell Rookie Award last year, ThunderWolf racing is poised to be very competitive at FSAEM 2010. The lessons learned from last year’s event allowed us to focus our design efforts towards creating a lighter, more powerful, better handling, more tightly packaged race car with a lower CG. Quantum leaps were made in the areas of frame triangulation, suspension kinematics/dynamics, power production, and mass reduction. Switching from a spool to a Torsen differential and tripods reduce rotating mass, and improve cornering and fuel efficiency. The engine mounting has also been vastly improved, increasing strength while decreasing the removal/installation time. A custom oilpan and exhaust system allows the engine to sit lower. The Kevlar body and diffuser help to reduce drag and overall mass. Suspension has changed to a pullrod design with adjustable dampers. Many thanks to all our sponsors who allowed this project to happen.

The 2010 Auburn University Formula SAE Racing Team is made up of 14 section leaders (32 years combined FSAE experience) and 8 new members. The team designed the 2010 vehicle to be reliable, easy to manufacture, and able to meet performance targets for weight and event times. The Aprilia SxV550 engine has a flat, smooth torque curve and puts power to the road through a student-designed Salisbury limited-slip differential. The electro-pneumatic shifting system and launch control program give quick acceleration times. Unequal length suspension links and 4-way adjustable dampers help the FSAE-spec Michelin tires reach their potential in corners and on the skidpad. Many hours of testing helped verify the performance and reliability of the vehicle and allowed the drivers to improve their performance in each event.

The 3rd car of the University of Patras Formula Student team is the most sophisticated and advanced until now. The best features of the previous cars were retained and optimized upon, while others were thoroughly revised. The major change from the previous car is the chassis, where a full length carbon fiber monocoque was favored against a spaceframe one, seeking for the optimum torsional stiffness and weight. Aiming to further decrease the overall weight, a single-cylinder Yamaha WR450 motor was selected to power the vehicle, transmitted over a chain and sprocket with the addition of a Drexler LSD differential. A multi adjustable suspension system was designed emphasizing on ease of set up and adjustability, which would render the car agile and fast on various track schemes and demands. The system utilizes pull rod actuated shock absorbers in order to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. ISR disc rotors and calipers were assigned the task of rapidly bringing the car to a halt.

For the 2010 season, the Knights Racing garage has produced a vehicle that they feel will be the most competitive vehicle yet to roll out of the shop. The KR10 has been completely redesigned from the tires up, to be the best it can be.

The chassis is both torsionally stronger and lighter than the ‘08 and ‘09 cars, and while dimensionally smaller the ‘10 car has more driver room due to better planned driver controls. The suspension geometry has been completely redesigned with all components designed by the team tweaked to try and remove as much unsprung mass as possible. The drivetrain is similar to ‘09, with the Honda F4i being used for it’s unfailing reliability, but new to ‘10 is the use of the Haltech Platinum Sport 1000 giving us fully sequential fuel and spark control. The drivetrain is also similar utilizing a Torsen differential in a custom aluminum housing. Braking is handled by Wilwood PS1 calipers, MCP master cylinders, and outboard disk brakes. The bodywork this year was kept simple with the use of Lexan side panels and a fiberglass/Kevlar nosecone.

Overall Knights Racing feels strongly that we have produced a highly competitive car for the 2010 season.

The FSSRacing team is proud to present its F2010 Formula SAE. This year’s car is an improved version of the F2008 car which competed in Detroit in May 2008. The main design orientations for the F2010 car were the optimization of its weight distribution and the stiffening of chassis/suspension interfaces. The rear portion of the chassis has been shortened by 10’’, enabling more load to be distributed on the rear wheels while keeping the same wheelbase. This year, we come back with our 2008 turbocharged Yamaha Genesis 80FI engine from a Phazer snowmobile which drives a CVT transmission. The new features are the dual stage chain and sprocket reducer as well as a new custom engine management system. We provided our car with a better packaging due to our short reducer as well as our new turbo and exhaust set-up. To sum up we worked in providing a more refined overall design as well as a restyled bodywork. With this all, we created a car in which we have high hopes.

Crimson Racing’s design objectives for the 2010 FSAE entry are to design and construct a reliable, competitive, and enjoyable race car. A secondary objective is to allow for ease of manufacture and to create good value in the overall target cost for producing the vehicle in quantity.

In the sixth year of design and competition, we have practiced five years of continuous improvement of our race car design relative to the competition. We seek the most rigid frame design, a perfect suspension, and the most efficient engine and drive train. Thorough studies have repeatedly indicated that perfect subsystems mean nothing if they cannot be integrated properly with the rest of the car. For 2010, our main design goal has been to utilize our experience to design every part, not only to improve part performance, but to ensure system compatibility with every other part.

Performance expectations for the car have been set high so that this year’s entry will be better than the last. At the conculsion of the 2009 design year we gathered our design team to determine which systems of our vehicle needed most improvement or better integration. braKE : Wilwood PS 1 cooling : Dual Radiators with integrated ducting drivE : Custom chain differential and intermediate shaft EnginE : 2003 Yamaha R6 Fr SuSpEnSion : Double wishbone Fr/rr tracK : Front - 48 in, Rear - 46 in FramE : Chromoly space frame FuEl SyStEm : Fuel Injected FuEl typE : Gasoline induction : Naturally Aspirated rr SuSpEnSion : Double wishbone SHiFtEr : Hand Shifter, solid linkage tirE : Goodyear D 2696 wEigHt : 500 lbs wHEElbaSE : 61 in

The 2010 University of Minnesota UMN10 is the 10th vehicle produced by the university since 1996.

With the current effort started back up in 2008, the team has focused on establishing a maintainable program which not only produces a well designed car, but also produces quality engineers with an understanding of performance vehicle design fundamentals. Drawing from our past experiences this year’s design is an iteration from our prior vehicles. Priority was placed on vehicle weight, compact packaging, increased data acquisition, and the use of highly developed and common manufacturing methods. These were taken into account while also maintaining and increasing driver comfort and control.

Thank you to all our sponsors!

Built from the ground up over the last year, the Florida Tech 2010 competition car is simple yet effective. The chassis was designed to fit the teams’ varying body types, while the suspension was designed to be adjustable depending on what performance characteristics were desired. The changes include adjusting front and rear toe, camber, and suspension travel. The drivetrain was chosen to provide the needed horsepower while giving the driver complete control on the course. Through rigorous Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Materials, and field testing, the design evolved several times from rough sketches to the current design.

The goals for our team are: to design a car capable of performing at a high level of competition, to complete each FSAE event, and to place higher than any previous Florida Tech team.

The University of Cincinnati Bearcat Motorsports 2010 car is engineered to be a winning solution for both the amateur and experienced racer alike. Careful balancing between performance, reliability, and cost will leave the autocrosser burning up the track, not their hard earned dollar. To increase performance the vehicles weight, inertia’s, and center of gravity height were minimized; predictable response and drivability were optimized to improve the driver performance. Reliability drove designs to be robust to resist the abuse of driving at the limit. Cost lead to simplified designs, inexpensive materials, and commercially available components. Ample implementation of varying set up options, intelligent packaging of components, and ergonomic considerations allow for numerous tuning options, for easy maintenance, and for the driver to drive, not fight the car. Attention was taken to design the car as an integrated system with increased safety.

Our major design priorities are reliability and simplicity, weight reduction and emphasis on team work, leadership and persistence along with technical competence for creating a winning car and establishing a foundation for future teams.

The use of mild steel tubular space frame chassis was based upon the ability to manufacture in house with existing skills and equipment as well as the inherent damage tolerance and reparability of such a structure. The main roll hoop supports integrate with the rear bulk head which performs several functions.

INTRODUCING THE NEW FIESTA fordvehicles.com

There’s a lot you can get in a Fiesta. A class-exclusive 4" multifunctional LCD display,* standard. A PowerShift

six-speed automatic transmission.** That’s the kind of engineering that makes it more responsive and still keeps

it fuel-effi cient.† The Fiesta also has available keyless entry, push-button start, voice-activated SYNC®†† and even

ambient lighting. All told, that’s as much high-end technology as many premium cars. How’s that for high tech?

IT’S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
