Major advances have been made by Polar Bear Racing team at the University of Manitoba for the 2010 season. A driver integration system has been designed which includes electronically controlled brake bias with sensor feedback and a large LCD to relay vehicle diagnostic information. The suspension system which now incorporates a Controlled Load Path system to interlink the front and rear suspension using custom hydraulic cylinders will enhance grip and vehicle control. Significant weight reduction was accomplished with the construction of a full carbon fibre monocoque. The vehicle’s powerhouse is a naturally aspirating CBR600 F4i controlled by a DTAFast ECU. The 2010 entry is complete with an aero package including a diffuser riding at 28 mm above ground creating 490N of downforce at 60 km/h. Custom 6061 T6 aluminum uprights and hubs are used to mount Keizer magnesium wheels for the Goodyear FSAE tyres. With the implementation of such designs, the 2010 Polar Bear Racing vehicle will be a serious competitor.

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 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.
