<strong>2013</strong> SAE President’s Message<br />
Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong><br />
Dear Formula SAE® Participants and Organizers:<br />
Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at Michigan International Speedway in<br />
Brooklyn, Michigan.<br />
Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now in its 35th year,<br />
Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems engineering, design<br />
and problem solving, along with the teaming challenges of collaboration and<br />
cooperation. In short, Formula SAE, along with all of the SAE Collegiate Design<br />
Series competitions, provides the skills and experiences needed for a wellrounded<br />
engineering education.<br />
In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of competition. This week, collegiate engineering<br />
students from many different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge<br />
their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will<br />
win first place, others will not. But all will leave here a winner because they will be better engineering students.<br />
Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank everyone for their hard work, support,<br />
volunteerism and participation. The experiences and learning you gain this weekend will last throughout your lives.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Donald G. Hillebrand<br />
President, SAE International<br />

Concept of the Competition<br />
The Formula SAE ® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate<br />
and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, <strong>formula</strong><br />
style, competition vehicle. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the<br />
freedom to express their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions on<br />
the overall vehicle design. Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing,<br />
building, testing and preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions<br />
themselves give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creation<br />
and their engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world.<br />
Registered for this event are 120 teams from colleges and universities. The end result is a great<br />
experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of<br />
working in a dedicated team effort.<br />
For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has<br />
engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended<br />
sales market is the nonprofessional weekend competitor. Therefore, the car must have very<br />
high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be<br />
low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by<br />
other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The manufacturing firm<br />
is planning to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited production run. The challenge to the<br />
design team is to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents.<br />
Each design will be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best<br />
overall car.<br />
Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events<br />
including: technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance<br />
trials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well<br />
the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable<br />
performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations.<br />

page 2 Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>
Static EvEntS:<br />
design report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from the automotive and<br />
motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the design is to evaluate the engineering effort that<br />
went into the design of the car and how the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the<br />
best use of engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team members will<br />
win the design event.<br />
cost report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will follow the prototype. The<br />
cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The objective of the event is for the participants to learn<br />
and understand the manufacturing techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to<br />
purchase rather than fabricate themselves.<br />
presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and<br />
deliver a comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of<br />
a fake manufacturing firm that the team’s design best meets the demands<br />
of the amateur weekend competition market and that it can be profitably<br />
manufactured and marketed.<br />
dynamic EvEntS:<br />
acceleration: The cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from a<br />
standing start over a distance of 75 meters.<br />
autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and<br />
handling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars.<br />
The course will combine the performance features of acceleration, braking<br />
and cornering into one event. The results of the Autocross scores determine<br />
the starting order for endurance.<br />
Skid-pad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radius<br />
turn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of the number 8; the cars demonstrate how good lateral<br />
forces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g).<br />
Endurance: Over a distance of 22 km the cars have to prove their durability under long-term conditions. Acceleration,<br />
speed, handling, dynamics, fuel efficiency, reliability – the cars have to prove it all.<br />

universitat Stuttgart<br />
global racing rennteam uni Stuttgart<br />
United States Germany<br />
Since 2006 the Rennteam Uni Stuttgart has built very successful cars. The<br />
F0711-7 follows in this streak of success as the seventh car built by the<br />
Rennteam.<br />
The frame consists of a full body CFRP safety cell in the front and a tubular steel<br />
space frame at the rear. In comparison to the big tire tracks of the F0711-6, last<br />
year’s car, we changed to 10’’ wheels for the 11-7. This new chassis concept allows<br />
improved driving dynamics, greater agility and faster lap times at a reduced<br />
overall weight. It was tried to reduce weight in order to get better handling and<br />
faster acceleration of the car. less rotating mass in the engine and optimized application<br />
result in improved rev up of the engine and better drivability for the driver<br />
than the car’s predecessors possessed. Thereby we stick to our reliable and well<br />
known Honda CBR600rr engine.<br />
The Rennteam DNA is obvious in the design. The typical Stuttgart nose, the black<br />
and white appearance and the similarities with its predecessor in point of shape<br />
are clearly visible.<br />
We are looking forward to an exciting competition!<br />

The TANKIA2012 is the most revolutionary development in the history of the<br />
TUG-Racing team. In recent years, we used an engine that was amongst the<br />
most powerful on the track. This year, we made a turn regarding this concept.<br />
The focus is now on lightweight and agility rather than merely power. The chassis<br />
has become slimmer, the tires smaller and we shortened the track as well as the<br />
wheelbase. And we even went one step further: we switched the engine from a<br />
heavy 4-cylinder to a 1-cylinder KTM. As a result of our changes, we estimate a<br />
much better fuel consumption and more agility. These improvements will provide<br />
the driver with enough confidence to stick it into the bends and prove our point.<br />
Our car comes with a carbon fiber monocoque and a carbon fiber space frame<br />
rear end, which is stiffer and makes it possible to remove the engine very quickly.<br />
The self-developed multifunctional steering wheel enables the driver to adjust<br />
vehicle parameters easily during the race.<br />

vehicle with the lightweight concept, in which 10” wheels and a single cylinder<br />
engine were used.<br />
The RS7 stands for an evolution among the RS generation vehicles. This is accomplished<br />
without losing the main design objective: To suit the non-professional,<br />
weekend, competition racer market, allying the best compromises in performance,<br />
aesthetics, cost, ergonomics, maintainability, manufacturability and reliability.<br />

that delivers exceptional lateral and longitudinal performance. A low drag aerodynamic<br />
package produces 510lbs of downforce, elevating lily’s lateral acceleration<br />
to 2.8g. lily sits on four 20.5x7x13 Hoosier R25B tires, mounted on 3 piece<br />
wheels to lightweight, three lug, steel welded uprights. loads are transferred<br />
to the chassis through double A-arms with a pull rod front and push rod rear<br />
suspension. She is powered by a Yamaha R6 that delivers 96Hp and 42ft-lbs to<br />
the wheels through a limited slip, salisbury style differential.<br />
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our loyal and generous sponsors<br />

Michigan State University’s <strong>2013</strong> Formula SAE entry, the SR-13, is an iteration<br />
on the team’s previous carbon fiber monocoque chassis. The SR-13 is designed<br />
to provide a reliable and tunable race car with a simple human machine interface<br />
that inspires driver confidence, and promises to be an exceptional challenger in<br />
this year’s competition. The SR-13’s well-developed powertrain, built around the<br />
Honda F4i, provides more power than ever over a broad torque curve. The electrical<br />
system features over 90 sensors to monitor car and driver performance and<br />
a dash display to relay the information while driving. The SR-13 also features an<br />
electro-pneumatic paddle shifting system, traction and launch control, and MSU’s<br />
first-ever aerodynamics package.<br />
We would like to thank Michigan State University and all of our sponsors, friends,<br />
and family for their kind contributions and support!<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> Navy FSAE team leaders, Nick Gfeller and Tyler Faris, are excited to<br />
introduce several significant design features that are new to our team and ground<br />
breaking for our program. Working from the ground up, we are driving on ten<br />
inch center locking wheels for the first time ever thanks to Dan Deland, Wynn<br />
Van Norman, Ryan Pangborn, and Josh Pangborn. Keeping the car pulled to the<br />
ground, Eric More has provided a first time diffuser that weighs just 4.3 lbs. Zach<br />
Basich, James Rocha, and Ethan English have finely tuned a two cylinder Aprilia<br />
SxV 550 to get us off of the drag strip starting line in record time. Cradling this<br />
new power plant is an all-time light weight Hybrid CFRP Monocoque with a 4130<br />
Chromoly Steel Rear Space Frame designed by Ryan Benroth and Katrina lintz.<br />
Inside the cockpit, Andy Musselwhite and Mark Rintz have installed a custom built<br />
Inertial Measurement Unit, 3-Axis Accelerometer, and an Aim Motorsports Solo Dl<br />
dashboard with a speedometer and tachometer. Many parts of the car are custom<br />
fabricated and finished with the N Star, representing the service of all Navy personnel.<br />
We thank them for providing freedom and enabling us to complete this project.<br />

The United States Air Force Academy is a four year undergraduate military<br />
institution that develops leaders of character for the US Air Force. Part of this<br />
development involves capstone projects such as Formula SAE. The goal of the<br />
<strong>2013</strong> FSAE team was to design the smallest, lightest, most responsive racecar<br />
ever developed by the Academy. This goal was achieved by maximizing lateral and<br />
longitudinal acceleration. To improve longitudinal and lateral acceleration, a main<br />
focus in design was to reduce weight to less than 400 lbs, dropping 33 pounds<br />
from the baseline 2012 FSAE vehicle. To facilitate this, the decision was made to<br />
switch to 10” wheels, which decreased the overall weight and center of gravity<br />
height, also contributing to increasing the acceleration capabilities. This change<br />
required a complete redesign of the suspension and braking systems and a significant<br />
change to the chassis. These changes resulted in a 61 inch wheel base,<br />
track widths of 44 inches in the front and 43 inches in the rear, a more rearward<br />
weight distribution of 45/55 front/rear, a center of gravity height of 11 inches, and<br />
a final weight of 399 lbs.<br />

Equipped with powerful features and redesigned to improve performance in<br />
static and dynamic events, the KMR-13 is the sixth FSAE car constructed by<br />
Knickerbocker Motorsports.Reliability, efficiency,and preciseness are the bases<br />
to improve upon.The design and manufacturing of the KMR-13 surpasses the<br />
past iterations of KM cars due to substantial increase in manpower, manufacturing<br />
time, and funding.We achieved goals of closely-packaging dynamic systems<br />
and use of lighter,cutting-edge materials in static systems to carry out our<br />
design goals.Our car’s performance is greater than the sum of its parts and our<br />
attention to detail and knowledge has enabled us to take advantage of many<br />
synergies in the overall design leading the KMR-13 vehicle to be KM’s most<br />

Being a second year team, we are a group of highly motivated individuals ready<br />
to improve our team and design. Our <strong>2013</strong> prototype will include a full chromoly<br />
space frame with chromoly a-arms connected to aluminum uprights and hubs.<br />
The suspension geometry is designed and setup for autocross. The braking<br />
system for our car will be a floating rotor set-up using Wilwood PS1’s brake<br />
calipers. The drivetrain is designed for a Torsen T1 differential with a casing made<br />
of aluminum to seal it, driven by a 38T sprocket to give us the best combination<br />
to ensure maximum performance. Our powertrain includes a Yamaha YZF 450cc<br />
single cylinder engine coupled with a custom all aluminum intake manifold and<br />
stainless exhaust. Our design for the ergonomics was to create a simple yet<br />
complete driver interface. Including optimal driver position and switch placement.<br />
live data fed to the driver via a touch screen display located behind the wheel.<br />
The aero package will include a full carbon fiber body, side pods and rear diffuser.<br />

dalhousie Formula <strong>SaE</strong> racing<br />
Dalhousie Formula SAE is competing in Michigan for the fourth year.<br />
This year’s design was focussed on improving each system from 2012, rather<br />
than redesigning any major components. The goals were to reduce the weight<br />
of every component, and to improve the reliability of systems which had been<br />
problematic in the past.<br />
One key improvement this year is the implementation of electro-mechanical<br />
paddle shifting, allowing our drivers to keep both hands on the steering wheel at<br />
all times.<br />
Dalhousie Formula SAE would like to thank all of our sponsors who make it possible<br />
to do what we do.<br />

Knights racing<br />
<strong>2013</strong> is to be a culmination of many years of knowledge-gain, success, failure,<br />
and program building for UCF. 2012-<strong>2013</strong> was a large shift in knowledge and<br />
experience for the Knights Racing team, as many founding members graduated<br />
this past year. Utilizing years of development, UCF plans to continue the progress<br />
of previous years and build the best, most well rounded car, the school has seen.<br />
The KR13 features a tubular space frame chassis, updated to larger diameter tubing<br />
for a decrease in mass with no change in torsional rigidity. It is the 3rd UCF car<br />
to run a Suzuki GSx-R 600, featuring a new side intake and exhaust designed to<br />
increase torque and drivability, as well as tunability. The suspension was designed<br />
using carbon fiber double wishbones, with pushrods in the rear and pullrods in the<br />
front. Decreasing compliance and increasing adjustment repeatability were main design<br />
goals. The KR13 features an adjustable pedal box and custom carbon fiber seat<br />
to increase driver comfort and fit a wider range of drivers, in addition to a pneumatic<br />
shifting system simplify the driving experience. Other systems were designed to be<br />
lighter, more reliable, and more easily serviceable.<br />

Panther Racing’s <strong>2013</strong> entry is a steel tube space frame chassis with a 4-cylinder<br />
engine. This combination was selected due to the low cost and ease of manufacture<br />
of the chassis as well as the high power output of the 4-cylinder powertrain.<br />
The suspension was designed from the ground up starting with a switch to Hoosier<br />
tires. A host of electronics upgrades along with an improvement in engine<br />
performance will ensure the PR-002 remains competitive. New to the team is aerodynamics<br />
development in the form of an undertray aimed at reducing lift and drag.<br />

YC Racing is a seventh year team from York College of Pennsylvania. The team is<br />
composed of 16 mechanical engineering students and an electrical engineer. All<br />
of the students are seniors and build the car from scratch every year. The<br />
team has several goals to improve the car. These include reducing unsprung<br />
weight, increasing engine power, improve ergonomics, and have a more durable<br />
drivetrain. The total goal weight of the car is 493 lbs, 37 pounds less than<br />
last year. Our car makes use of a Yamaha R6 motor with a Taylor Race Quaife<br />
Differential. We have 81 hp at the sprocket with 32 ft-lbs of torque at 11500<br />
rpms. The suspension makes use of pull rods in the front and push rods in the<br />
rear for better packaging of the differential. YC Racing is different from other<br />
teams because we are all seniors and we do this as our capstone project. This<br />
means that we design, build, and test our own car in one year instead of being a<br />
club for four years.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> entry from Purdue University, West lafayette was designed with a focus<br />
on quick completion in order to start testing and driver training sooner. Therefore,<br />
many designs were kept the same, but were refined to ensure reliability. A major<br />
performance enhancement was the addition of an aero package that incorporates<br />
a front and rear wing, under tray, and sculpted bodywork. The vehicle’s electronics<br />
were also developed. A custom power distribution module was implemented which<br />
consolidated mechanical relays, terminal blocks, and other components into a solid<br />
state, reprogrammable unit. To improve drivability, modifications to the engine package<br />
were made and an electro-pneumatic clutch and shifter were added.<br />
The success of the Purdue FSAE team is not only due to the hard work and dedication<br />
of its members but also of the entire community that supports the team. A<br />
huge thank you goes out to Purdue University, our sponsors, our alumni, and the<br />
FSAE volunteers that make the events a success. A special thanks to our family<br />

Our focus for <strong>2013</strong> is to improve upon our designs from previous years by analyzing<br />
the failures and successes of past vehicles. We designed a more reliable and<br />
drivable vehicle while adding additional data logging and processing capabilities,<br />
to improve our tuning ability and allow our vehicle to serve as a test-bed for future<br />
years. We also designed the vehicle with the goal of promoting design for manufacture<br />
and assembly, to reduce time spent on these tasks, and give us more<br />
time to tune and train in the car. The team additionally continued to work towards<br />
its goal of enabling amateur drivers to take full advantage of the car’s potential.<br />
Through the year, the team used computer simulations, subsystem testing, and<br />
full-scale data logging to study and improve vehicle performance.<br />

Mizzou Racing is proud to introduce the <strong>2013</strong> entry into FSAE. Building on almost<br />
30 years of Mizzou Formula SAE history, we have designed a car that champions<br />
reliability and drivability, while also embracing creativity and innovation, testing our<br />
engineering limits. Starting with the bullet-proof Honda CBR600RR, and following<br />
the motto “you gotta give the engine what it wants”, we have produced a formidable<br />
power train that reliably produces a supply of relentless but controllable power.<br />
We also focused heavily on putting that power to use. Our switch back to Hoosier<br />
tires demanded that our suspension be highly optimized to squeeze out every last<br />
bit of performance, so a premium was placed on maintaining optimum camber<br />
angles. To maximize lateral acceleration, our already impressive aerodynamics<br />
package was overhauled, and now produces an incredible amount of downforce.<br />
To help manage the massive aerodynamic loads, an active-aerodynamics system<br />
was developed to allow for a tunable aero-balance at any speed, with the ability<br />
to react dynamically to various different driving maneuvers, keeping us as close to<br />
the limit as possible at all times.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> WPI Formula SAE racecar represents the third iteration of WPI’s<br />
low cost, driver focused design. The car is powered by a lightweight, naturally<br />
aspirated 499cc Yamaha Genesis 80FI two cylinder engine controlled by a Haltech<br />
S2000 ECU. The intake manifold is a sealed, plastic unit and the exhaust is an<br />
equal length, non-merging system. This engine is mated to a continuously variable<br />
transmission to increase the competiveness of nonprofessional drivers. An<br />
ergonomically designed tubular steel space frame allows all drivers to race comfortably<br />
and features an unequal length control arm front suspension. Similarly,<br />
the rear suspension utilizes a pushrod design with unequal length control arms.<br />
Both front and rear brakes use floating, hub mounted rotors and opposing piston<br />
calipers. Vehicle instrumentation consists of a single 4.3” touch screen interface<br />
and speaker. This is capable of logging key system parameters and issues audiovisual<br />
alerts to the driver. lastly, the car’s body is comprised of a wire frame nose<br />
cone wrapped with a thin plastic shell and two ABS plastic side panels. This offers<br />
an aesthetically pleasing package while protecting the driver from road debris.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> University of Minnesota, Twin Cities FSAE vehicle design philosophy<br />
was to develop a simple, reliable, high-performance car that involves the driver<br />
while remaining predictable and easy to drive. In order to maximize performance<br />
and efficiency while minimizing cost, lightweight design was imperative while also<br />
employing inexpensive materials and simple manufacturing processes wherever<br />
possible. Notable features include a pullrod actuated suspension designed for<br />
linear and predictable handling, custom aluminum wheel centers for reduced<br />
unsprung mass, and an Ultem 3D printed intake system comprising the plenum,<br />
runners, and throttle body. A highly tuned intake and exhaust package delivers<br />
a broad and usable 90% peak torque band from 4500 to 11,000 RPM, creating<br />
linear power delivery without significant compromises to peak power. The 4130<br />
Chromoly steel-tube space frame is reinforced with carbon-aluminum honeycomb<br />
sandwich panels, resulting in a high torsional stiffness and low reduced<br />
weight. As a result, the <strong>2013</strong> vehicle offers high performance dynamics at a<br />
relatively low cost while remaining simple to maintain, predictable to drive, and<br />
inexpensive to run.<br />

Southern polytechnic State university<br />
Southern poly motorsports<br />
Southern Poly Motorsports is constantly developing new ways to improve upon<br />
previous designs to enhance the experience of the race car driver, whether it be<br />
a novice or skilled racer. The largest design goal for our <strong>2013</strong> car is “thoroughly<br />
designed” simplicity. This includes reducing part count and increased serviceability,<br />
all while incorporating excellent performance capabilities. This has played an<br />
integral role in the design process, which has seen many changes due to these<br />
constraints. The reduction in parts as well as multifunction parts has led to an<br />
overall weight reduction of about 14% compared to previous designs. Manufacturability<br />
and cost were the other big factors in the design process, with an overall<br />
goal to reduce the overall cost and design parts for low to medium size production<br />
runs. Emphasis was placed on minimal custom fixturing and minimal setups per<br />
part without sacrificing performance characteristics.<br />
Opportunity is everywhere. So are we.<br />

The University of Maryland’s <strong>2013</strong> Formula SAE car (TR13) is a refinement<br />
of Maryland’s 2012 car (TR12) focusing on reliability, engine development,<br />
aerodynamics, and performance consistency. The TR13 incorporates high-lift,<br />
low-drag aerodynamic effects with a single-cylinder 450-cc motocross engine<br />
and Hoosier 18.0 x 7.5 - 10 R25B tires. The aerodynamic package includes<br />
front and rear wings with adjustable flaps and a full length undertray. Although<br />
the lift seems quite large for a Formula SAE car, Terps Racing verified 540-lb<br />
total lift at 60 mph on their TR11 car. The TR13 includes a much more effective<br />
undertray and rear wing. The performance benefits of incorporating aerodynamic<br />
effects were evaluated and justified using lap simulation studies, field testing,<br />
CFD modeling, and competition experience. Design choices for the engine, frame<br />
structure, front suspension, steering, and seating were largely dictated by the<br />
layout of the wings and undertray diffusers. Track width and wheelbase were<br />
determined using the lap simulations and CFD modeling. lastly, horsepower,<br />
weight, and fuel economy tradeoffs were analyzed using the lap simulations to<br />
further evaluate design decisions.<br />

This year’s entry for FSAE Michigan is WSU’s 7th iteration <strong>formula</strong> car deemed<br />
RW7. After numerous pitfalls of the previous iteration vehicle, RW7 returns to<br />
the basics of design with a simple, reliable, and competitive setup. Many of the<br />
systems were redone to move from a complex system which had many failures<br />
to a simple combination of systems which work in harmony. Our targets for this<br />
iteration were to have a chassis weight of 32.6 kg (72 lbs.) which is three pounds<br />
lighter than the previous iteration, however, almost 4 times stronger in regards to<br />
torsional rigidity. The exhaust was deemed to choke the engine instead of helping<br />
it breathe, with the transition to a modified wet sump, it opened an opportunity<br />
to better manufacture the exhaust system.<br />
We weren’t able to test the previous iteration vehicle as much as we would’ve<br />
liked to, but we still learned a lot from the vehicle. What designs worked, what<br />
designs didn’t, what designs to pursue and are simple and we know are reliable<br />
and other designs which aren’t as reliable and should be avoided. This iteration<br />
reflects what we saw to be simple, reliable, and competitive over our previous<br />
iteration vehicle.<br />

Georgia Tech’s <strong>2013</strong> Formula SAE entry features a ground-up redesign, focusing<br />
once again on balancing outright performance with safety and reliability. Notable<br />
changes for this year include: moving from a 13” to a 10” wheel to reduce weight,<br />
and turbocharging our Yamaha YFZ450 to increase our total vehicle power.<br />
Through efficient utilization of available resources, the team was able to go from<br />
design to full vehicle testing in 7 months, with our first drive day on January 15,<br />
<strong>2013</strong>. The team has benefitted from having four months of testing and development<br />
before competition to root out design faults, tune vehicle set-ups, and<br />
correlate vehicle performance simulations.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> UNH Precision Racing Team consists of 12 Senior Mechanical Engineers,<br />
2 Computer Engineers and numerous underclassmen. The <strong>2013</strong> steel<br />
space tube chassis design is an advancement to its predecessor, through maintaining<br />
a comparable weight with an increase in torsional rigidity. The suspension<br />
utilizes unequal steel a-arms in both the front and rear. New rear uprights have<br />
been designed to encompass a new outboard brake system. The drive train uses<br />
a chain driven Taylor Racing limited Slip Differential. The powertrain for the <strong>2013</strong><br />
vehicle utilizes a Yamaha YFZ 450R engine, a custom intake and exhaust system<br />
to enhance max power and torque. The electronics package for the <strong>2013</strong> autocross<br />
vehicle is highly advanced compared to previous years. A VEMS ECU and a<br />
wide variety of sensors from tire temperature sensors to shock position sensors<br />
have been utilized to optimize the performance of car 049. The aerodynamics<br />
team has designed an aero package that consists of new features not seen by<br />
previous UNH FSAE teams. Smaller side pods, a more appealing and aerodynamic<br />
nose, and an under tray diffuser have been designed to enhance the performance<br />
of the <strong>2013</strong> UNH car.<br />

Viking 54 is the 14th Formula SAE entry from Western Washington University.<br />
V54 features the first full steel space frame from WWU in 19 years after a long<br />
history of composite chassis. This new chassis design focuses on repositioning<br />
the driver to lower CG, reduce frontal area, and reduce the driver’s influence on<br />
aerodynamics. A fresh suspension was developed in coordination with the new<br />
chassis to more effectively use the tire, increase steering angle, and withstand the<br />
high loads necessary. A full aerodynamics kit was developed using Star-CCM+<br />
in coordination with lap simulation and physical testing. The vehicle returns to<br />
13” wheels on Hoosier R25B tires with in house designed and manufactured<br />
wheel centers, live centers, uprights, etc. Viking 54 is a fresh slate redesign which<br />
we hope can provide a base for continued success from Western Washington<br />
University for years to come.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) Formula SAE team is a first year<br />
team that designed this vehicle from the ground up for reliability, drivability, and<br />
ease of maintenance. This vehicle will hopefully be a launch-pad for the success<br />
of future entries from FIT to this competition. This vehicle is running a Rotax<br />
4-Tec 449cc single cylinder engine from a Can-Am DS450 all-terrain vehicle – a<br />
choice that was based on the engine’s handling, low-end torque, and throttle<br />
response (also a dealer was close by). The space-frame chassis is made from<br />
4130 steel, and was designed for driver ergonomics and ease of access to the<br />
vehicle components – especially mounting/removal of the engine. The suspension<br />
control arms were made from 4130 steel joints bonded to unidirectional carbon<br />
tubing. The suspension uprights were made from 6061-T6 aluminum. The team’s<br />
primary goal in designing and manufacturing this vehicle was to keep things as<br />
simple as possible. We aim to complete all the events – a first in FIT history – and<br />
pave the way for the future.<br />

The WU-<strong>2013</strong> marks the second consecutive year in Washington University in St.<br />
louis history that a Formula SAE car has been designed and built on a one-year<br />
cycle. The primary goals for this year’s car were packaging and drivability, with an<br />
emphasis on manufacturability to reduce overall manufacturing time and allow for<br />
more testing. Using the knowledge gained from the design process and competition<br />
last year, the team was able to improve upon many aspects of the car and<br />
set a foundation for future designs. High priority was put on making sure that all<br />
of the subsystems of the car were well integrated in order to achieve a cohesive<br />
design.<br />
With the WU-<strong>2013</strong>, WU Racing has established itself as a successful engineering<br />
program and has created a basis for years of exemplary designs to come.<br />

This is the second year the University of Saint Thomas is participating in Formula<br />
SAE. last year the team was awarded Rookie Team of the Year and this year’s<br />
team is planning to impress the competition with this next vehicle. Overall goals<br />
for the vehicle were to reduce weight in all areas, make the overall footprint of the<br />
vehicle smaller and apply more design to all components.<br />
Our team has elected to continue developing our Honda engine package through<br />
more advanced tuning and custom intake, header, and oil pan. Our frame was<br />
simplified and reduced in size to greatly reduce weight and increase overall appeal.<br />
Our suspension was dramatically changed to reduce unsprung weight and<br />
induce anti-squat and anti-dive characteristics. It also allowed for much better<br />
mounting and integration of other parts with decreased assembly difficulty.<br />

The design philosophy of our <strong>2013</strong> vehicle is one of simplicity, reliability and cost.<br />
All of the components of the F13 are bought or are simple enough that large<br />
scale production would still be cost effective. Our goal was to put all of these<br />
parts together so that they would create a well-rounded, competitive vehicle that<br />
could be easily maintained and driven by an average racing consumer.<br />
Our vehicle will not be the lightest or most powerful car. However, with every<br />
part we’ve carefully assembled, it will still compete with the top vehicles on and<br />
off the track. Our design goals for the vehicle centered around designing a well<br />
packaged, easy to produce vehicle. It is a good stable platform that an average<br />
weekend racer could easily maintain, race and compete with.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> car from the University of Cincinnati is a cornerstone. Bearcat Motorsports<br />
has a history of several successful years followed by learning years of the<br />
recent past. The 2012 team set a new design direction by changing car concept<br />
from the 600cc engine, 13” wheel packaging to a 450cc, 10” wheel package. After<br />
a summer of testing and revisions, the <strong>2013</strong> design takes the lessons learned<br />
and lays the foundation for a winning car concept the team will refine year after<br />
year. The car is a reliable test bed for instrumented testing and driver training<br />
capable of directing a team with high yearly turnover into the future.<br />
To build a car to compete and continue developing of the program, our design<br />
goals are:<br />
-Safety: Exceed minimum safety required per FSAE rules.<br />
-Reliability: Finish all events of competition, accumulate 2000 miles of track<br />
testing<br />
-Ease of Manufacture/ Maintenance: Tuning parameters easily adjusted and<br />
repeatable<br />
-Efficiency of fuel, tires, and part count: Approximately 0.5 gallon fuel use in<br />
endurance<br />
-High acceleration capability: Expand driver’s friction circle to its limits<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> Vanderbilt FSAE car was designed to perform while being simple<br />
and affordable. Having a relatively small team these qualities were essential for<br />
producing a competitive car.<br />
In order to keep the car simple the team, decided to use a single cylinder engine,<br />
and to accommodate this decision the team has been successful in drastically reducing<br />
the overall weight of this year’s car. To increase simplicity for the driver, the<br />
clutch pedal was replaced with a hand clutch, and the brake pedal was moved to<br />
allow left foot braking.<br />

The University of Toronto presents UT13 for the <strong>2013</strong> Formula SAE Michigan<br />
competition.<br />
The past 16 years of experience have come together to bring UT13 – a vehicle<br />
defined by design for manufacture methods. This mentality provided distinctly<br />
new design features for the <strong>2013</strong> vehicle. Features such as a single rear brake<br />
and pocketed a-arms have served to drastically decrease our manufacturing time<br />
without sacrifice for reliable high performance. This is our second installment of<br />
the 10” wheel vehicle powered by the Honda TRx450 single cylinder engine. The<br />
chassis has been lengthened by 2 inches and the driver been angled back to<br />
increase driver comfort. The efficient packaging of all components over a 23kg<br />
chassis allows us to achieve Toronto’s highest stiffness to weight ratio. The result<br />
is a lightweight, drivable and simple vehicle.<br />

Cooper Motorsports’ F13 is the fifth FSAE vehicle produced at The Cooper Union.<br />
This year’s vehicle is a culmination and an evolution of past year’s vehicles, showcasing<br />
practical, low-cost, adaptable solutions with awareness to vehicle systems<br />
integration rather than precise optimization of individual systems. The overall vehicle<br />
design is consistent throughout in order to ensure practical integration. The<br />
vehicle’s chassis systems’ design is focused on low-cost, low-weight fabrication<br />
while the engine systems’ design focuses on maintained reliability and ease of<br />
serviceability. The result is a practical, coherent design with a power/weight ratio<br />
of roughly 250bhp/ton and a consistent owner experience in terms of driveability,<br />
ergonomics, and maintenance.<br />
The <strong>2013</strong> team is brand new, consisting solely of undergraduates and only 3<br />
members who have previously participated in FSAE. The team is proud to start a<br />
new chapter that builds upon its successful legacy.<br />

tigerracing<br />
lSU’s over-arching goals for this year are to implement a more sustainable hierarchy,<br />
which includes restructuring team organization, as well as building a base<br />
design for future generations of the club. Contrary to previous years, the team<br />
was part of a Senior Design course that required the entire engineering process to<br />
fall in a timeline that followed the curriculum. This constricted testing time as well<br />
as motivation for some members. This year, the TigerRacing club is fueled solely<br />
by volunteers desired to compete, as opposed to just trying to receive course<br />
credit. Additionally, the team has transitioned from being predominately seniors to<br />
a team of only four seniors and over fifteen underclass students. This falls in line<br />
with the ideology that the lSU TigerRacing team has implemented with its new<br />
management style.<br />
Overall, the design of the <strong>2013</strong> car has combined the work of the 2011 and 2012<br />
TigerRacing cars while re-designing key areas that required better performance.<br />
Crucial redesign decisions include the intake system, the chassis, and the<br />
drivetrain. Components that were inspired by past designs include the suspension<br />
system, the exhaust system, and ergonomics.<br />

rensselaer motorsport<br />
Rensselaer Motorsport is building its 20th car this year, RM20. This car represents<br />
a large step forward in the optimization of RPI’s hybrid chassis cars.<br />
Technical advancements include a stiffened space frame-composite hybrid<br />
chassis with more structural panels. Our suspension now utilizes CNC machined<br />
uprights and carbon fiber tubes in the A-arms. Custom machined calipers and<br />
floating discs provide enough stopping power to suit even the most aggressive<br />
pilot. RM20 will be powered by a Honda CBR600F4i, breathing through a rapidprototyped<br />
plastic intake and custom stainless steel headers. The engine was<br />
resonance tuned for maximum drivability, predictable power delivery, and heartstopping<br />
racecar sound. Power is delivered to the wheels through a custom CNC<br />
cam and pawl differential. Pneumatic shifting, a custom launch control system,<br />
and a suede steering wheel complete car-driver interaction. Unprecedented for<br />
Rensselaer Motorsport is our aero kit, featuring sidepods, a diffuser, a rear wing,<br />
and front canards.<br />
The team would like to thank all the amazing sponsors for offering invaluable<br />
funding, manufacturing, components, and supplies that allow us to bring our<br />

carnegie mellon racing<br />
Carnegie Mellon Racing 67 represents an iterative improvement over CMR 57,<br />
with increased attention given to rapid manufacture, driver ergonomics, and data<br />
acquisition. Based upon team results in year’s past, CMR has identified early and<br />
rigorous testing of our vehicle to be the single most productive route to increase<br />
points scored at Competition. This has made compressing our manufacturing<br />
timeline a design priority in order to increase testing time, reliability, data gathering,<br />
vehicle setup, and driver confidence.<br />
Accordingly, systems which were resource intensive to produce and maintain,<br />
detrimental to driver performance, or unsuitable for future improvement were<br />
redesigned. Systems which performed well on CMR 57 were further optimized to<br />
reduce mass in order to meet a 10% overall weight reduction goal.<br />
We have also restructured the team to enable a more streamlined approach to<br />
design and manufacture through improved member role specificity and continuous<br />
development. With this new organization an individual’s task is always well<br />
defined on an advanced schedule, allowing improved and efficient focus on<br />
optimization, new technology development, and driver training.<br />

uqtr racing<br />
The 2012 uqtr racing car is based off it’s 2011 predecessor. Our approach is still<br />
based on reliability and simplicity, but it now packs more efficient technologies.<br />
One major goal of this year’s design was to reduce weigth. Almost every section<br />
of the car have been redesigned with this in mind. The result is a car 40 pounds<br />
lighter than last year. Power comes from a honda cbr600rr. Camshafts, intake and<br />
exhaust have been optimized to deliver a flatter torque curve in order to increase<br />
drivability. Our electronics team have developped an electro-pneumatic shifter<br />
system in order to make the car faster and easier to drive.<br />
The UQTR racing is well prepared and look forward to good results at the FSAE<br />

cardinal Formula racing<br />
For the <strong>2013</strong> competition season there was a large effort to lighten to the car,<br />
while at the same time maintain the same structural rigidity and serviceability as<br />
seen in years past. This has allowed Cardinal Formula Racing (CFR) to develop<br />
the lightest car in the 15 year history of Saginaw Valley State’s Formula SAE<br />
program.<br />
The CFR<strong>2013</strong> has a steel tube space frame with structural carbon fiber to maximize<br />
the torsional stiffness, but keep weight and price down. The Suzuki GSxR<br />
600 was the engine of chose again this year as it has proved to be reliable power<br />
plant in years past. Another notable change is the front suspension. It underwent<br />
a redesign that resulted in a better suspension geometry and also helped to lower<br />
the CG of the car.<br />
With the weight reduction and other improvements, CFR is expecting to have their<br />
best year yet.<br />

The front geometry is actuated by pull rod and the rear by push rod. Addition<br />
of antiroll bars to the front and rear of the car to provide a better stability and<br />
allow the use of softer shock spring. Adjustable links. The chassis is a 4130<br />
space frame design made of round steel tube members with carbon fiber panels<br />
composed of three laminated layers. The panels were inserted in the open areas<br />
between the tubing to enhance the chassis’s stiffness.<br />

Ferris State F<strong>SaE</strong><br />
The <strong>2013</strong> Ferris Formula Racing team is proud to present FFR7. The design goals<br />
for this vehicle include simplicity, reliability, as well as increased performance.<br />
Our performance goal is to finish in the top 25% overall at the FSAE Michigan<br />
competition, which is a major improvement over previous years for Ferris Formula<br />
Racing.<br />
Improved suspension geometry, increased cooling capacity, improved differential<br />
housing and mounts, student designed billet aluminum uprights, spindles, and<br />
proportioning valve adjusted brakes.<br />
The improvements for this year’s vehicle are due in part to extensive vehicle<br />
testing that was performed at the beginning of the season. Strain gauge and durability<br />
testing were used on the suspension and drive train to necessitate design<br />
improvements. An engine dynamometer was used to create a fuel map for proper<br />
engine tuning.<br />
The Ferris Formula Racing team would like to graciously thank all of our sponsors<br />
and supporters for their help during this <strong>2013</strong> season.<br />

In <strong>2013</strong> lancer Motorsports focused on optimizing and simplifying many key<br />
features of the car. The main goals during the design and build were to reduce<br />
component weights, enhance driver support systems, improve system integration<br />
and allow for quicker and easier adjustments.<br />
With the addition of square tubes into the tubular chassis and custom tabs,<br />
suspension components can be easily adjusted for variations in both camber and<br />
caster. The improved power of the DTA S80 ECU allows for development of a 4<br />
wheel traction control system as well as launch control. The power developed<br />
from our Honda CBR600RR engine, custom intake and custom exhaust has been<br />
tuned for a flatter torque curve and improved throttle response. With adjustable<br />
head rest, brake pedal and innovative 4 bar link throttle pedal, the car can fit a<br />
wide variety of driver sizes. A reduced size impact attenuator allows for greater<br />
body design freedom while maintaining energy absorption characteristics. Sectioned<br />
body panels allow for quick and easy access to various areas of the vehicle<br />
and reduce body manufacturing complexity.<br />
The <strong>2013</strong> team is expecting another great season in our quest of continuous<br />
improvement.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> car is Texas Tech’s third consecutive entry into Formula SAE Michigan.<br />
The theme for this year’s racecar is clean and reliable. These themes will be<br />
noticeable in numerous places on the vehicle from the much cleaner engine bay<br />
compared to last year as well as a much improved cockpit and control system.<br />
The electronics system was also skillfully done this year which has allowed us to<br />
have more track time to test the car. This year’s team also managed to cut approximately<br />
20 lbs. off our last design. In the engine department we managed to<br />
improve by 5 horsepower while using relatively the same engine.<br />

For <strong>2013</strong> our focus is refinements based on evaluations of the 2012 car. The<br />
suspension, chassis, brake system, and electronics have been reworked to reduce<br />
weight and increase performance levels. Key components in those subsystems<br />
have been altered to provide a more favorable rearward mass bias with the mass<br />
reduction and allow full advantage of the completely redesigned brake system to<br />
be taken. The suspension dynamics have been altered to tune handling characteristics<br />
during corner braking entry and throttle exit. Rotational inertia has been<br />
reduced in drivetrain and passive rotating components and coupled with a new<br />
power transfer approach which results in decreased acceleration times.<br />

2012 the team has participated in seven editions of the competition. The main<br />
goal of the team for <strong>2013</strong> is to complete the endurance and to establish a standard<br />
for next year team members.<br />
The designs are made thinking about the realities that the team has experienced.<br />
One of these realities is the lack of economic resources and the other reality,<br />
following the first, is the constant reuse of parts, which is why this year the<br />
emphasis was that the designs were as open as possible to be modified or tested<br />
in later years.<br />

cornell Formula <strong>SaE</strong> racing<br />
Cornell Racing’s entry to the <strong>2013</strong> Formula SAE Michigan competition is the<br />
ARG13 prototype. Born as an evolutionary model, ARG13 features dramatic<br />
improvements over and refinements of the ARG12 prototype. In an attempt to<br />
maintain its power advantage while decreasing weight and improving its drivability<br />
and performance, Cornell Racing has opted for a full monocoque chassis along<br />
with a completely redesigned suspension system. At the heart of ARG13’s engine<br />
package is a turbocharged Honda CBR600RR controlled by a MoTeC M400 ECM<br />
in conjunction with a dry sump lubrication system and active boost control. Going<br />
further, the newly designed suspension system will again be centered on 10-inch<br />
wheels, allowing for reduced unsprung and overall mass. ARG13’s one piece, full<br />
carbon fiber monocoque ties these systems together while offering significant<br />
weight reduction and increased stiffness. lastly, using other advancements such<br />
as a Drexler 2-way adjustable differential, blade-type adjustable anti-roll, and<br />
custom turbine housing, Cornell Racing aims to regain its Championship title at<br />

For our <strong>2013</strong> NUS FSAE Race Car, NUS-R13, the following primary design goals<br />
were set up.<br />
1) Ergonomics<br />
2) Throttle response<br />
3) Cornering response<br />
4) Reduce downtime<br />
United States Singapore<br />
university of Singapore<br />

nuS F<strong>SaE</strong><br />
In order to achieve these goals, specific importance was placed on tuning the<br />
engine, lightening parts as well as extensive testing with physical verification of<br />
simulations and analysis.<br />
The design of NUS-R13 focuses on improving transient response as well as giving<br />
the driver a stable and predictable car to achieve better performance. The V-twin<br />
Aprilia SxV550 engine is tuned for smoother power delivery to provide predictable<br />
throttle response for the driver. Due to generally lower peak torques in V-twin engines<br />
as compared to in-line 4 cylinder engines, lightening of all components on the car<br />
was done (a total of 12.5kg) to increase the car’s power to weight ratio. Extensive<br />
computer simulation and analysis were conducted to improve various aspects of the<br />
car, and physical verifications are used to validate the simulation. With that, designs<br />
can be further refined to achieve better performance and weight savings.<br />

The goal of the TTU-130.R frame is to achieve a balance of performance and maintainability.<br />
With a modular spaceframe, reliable yet powerful Yamaha R6 engine,<br />
simple and powerful aerodynamics design, and all new tire optimized suspension<br />
geometry, we have brought forth a racecar you can drive everyday without requiring<br />
a team of mechanics at the ready. Careful consideration was given to the geometry<br />
of the frame to ensure driver comfort as well. The custom molded seats will give<br />
the driver confidence in his or her control of the racecar. In this way the driver can<br />
spend more time thinking about the next corner apex, instead of how sore his or her<br />
back may be. All in all, we designed a driver’s car, one that will perform better than<br />
conventional modified production vehicle, but won’t alienate the driver’s expectations<br />
of the feel of the car, like a Formula 1 car will.<br />
The TTU-130.R will have turn-key performance for the novice motorsport enthusiast,<br />
but for the expert racer, a plethora of modifiable components provide endless<br />
tuning capabilities. The Performance Electronics ECU, Cam & Pawl limited Slip<br />
Differential, brake bias, ride height, camber, toe, damping, and spring preload are<br />
all adjustable, giving the racecar the ability to adapt to any track.<br />
The end goal was a racecar that two buddies can take to the weekend races, but<br />
was also worthy of a professional driver with a crew by his side. The versatility of<br />
the TTU-130.R is what will give the customers what they want most: to finish first,<br />
and have fun doing it!<br />

Villanova University’s <strong>2013</strong> entry into the Formula SAE Competition (hereafter<br />
referred to as VU05) represents the team’s fifth year in the competition. While<br />
last year’s car, VU04, was a huge success for the team (our first full redesign as<br />
well our first year using the Yamaha YZF-R6 engine and Drexler Differential, and<br />
completing all events in the competition), VU05 is a big step forward for the team.<br />
With VU05 we were at a point where we could start testing, refining and tuning<br />
systems on the car, rather than fully redesigning them. Some highlights include a<br />
frame that is 15% lighter and 21% torsionally stiffer, an overall weight cut of 20<br />
lbs, a redesigned wheel assembly, a new paddle-actuated CO2 shift system and<br />
computer, and a new data acquisition system.<br />

The goal for our team was to design a 4-cylinder, space frame <strong>formula</strong> car with a<br />
focus on lightness and handling performance while taking advantage of manufacturing<br />
facilities available to us. Though lightness was sought after in our designs,<br />
stiffness took priority in suspension, chassis and braking system components. The<br />
double wishbone suspension was designed using Matlab post processing with<br />
roll center migration as the parameter to be optimized. The suspension is housed<br />
in a sheet metal structure integrated in the chassis. The uprights are made from<br />
4130 sheet metal to minimize weight and optimize stiffness. The wheel centers<br />
were also designed and manufactured in house using Nastran to prove the design<br />
and ensure weight minimization. The differential internals are an unmodified T-1<br />
Torsen with a custom designed differential that minimizes weight and axle angle.<br />
Our powertrain is a Honda F4i controlled by a Megasquirt II and tuned in house<br />
on a custom built dynamometer. Our intake manifold was designed using Flow<br />
Simulation and manufactured by rapid prototyping to minimize the weight.<br />

VTM13 is the 26th vehicle produced by Virginia Tech Motorsports for competition<br />
in Formula SAE sanctioned events. The team established quantifiable goals and<br />
a formal testing program to validate the predictive models used for system level<br />
designs. A light weight, fuel efficient vehicle platform, incorporating a tube frame<br />
chassis and single-cylinder engine was chosen. For the benefit of an amateur<br />
driver, assistive control systems are included. Custom body molded seating<br />
system is included along with adjustable pedals and a molded steering wheel. An<br />
undertray with diffuser and a complete aerodynamic package were designed in<br />
order to increase the tractive limits of the 10” wheels with Hoosier R25B tires. A<br />
single-cylinder, Yamaha WR450F powers the car utilizing a MoTeC M400 engine<br />
management system. An adjustable limited-slip differential allows the torque bias<br />
ratio to be tuned for acceleration and deceleration scenarios. The suspension,<br />
powertrain, electrical and ergonomic systems were analyzed, tested, and refined<br />
in order to ensure drivers of any skill level are capable of consistently driving the<br />
car at its tractive limit, the primary goal of the <strong>2013</strong> vehicle.<br />

This year, the Western Formula Racing Team is celebrating their 25th anniversary<br />
since first attending the FSAE-Michigan event in 1988. The team has been pushing<br />
hard to make this year the best yet.<br />
The <strong>2013</strong> team started vehicle design in May of 2012 with emphasis on the<br />
teams’ goals Excellence, Endurance, and Enthusiasm. Over the summer, the 2012<br />
car was heavily tested giving the team a good foundation for the <strong>2013</strong> car. Utilizing<br />
the data gathered from a summer of testing, this year’s design is an evolution<br />
of past vehicles. Careful evaluation of data and past designs allowed the team to<br />
focus their attention on certain areas of the car. Some of the main design focuses<br />
include ergonomics, wheel assemblies, body and aero, and engine systems.<br />
The <strong>2013</strong> team has been focusing on improving the team as a whole, and on<br />
small design changes that will result in large gains. look for us at the finish line<br />

Kettering University has a very rich history in the automotive industry being that it<br />
was originally General Motors Institute. This history helps create a clear path to a<br />
goal of a successful racecar by simply going off of the core values that our team<br />
stands for. These values are ingenuity, being cost savvy, doing the appropriate<br />
amount of research, and an endless pursuit of going fast. <strong>2013</strong> is a year that<br />
encapsulates these goals more than previous years in the careful crafting of<br />
designs, components, and calibrations. Our use of exotic materials has decreased<br />
drastically over the previous season’s in addition to all materials in general being<br />
used more efficiently. This is part of our design renaissance that will yield major<br />
changes going forward. As Charles Kettering said, “If you have always done it that<br />
way, it is probably wrong” and here at Kettering University, we take that concept<br />
seriously.<br />
We would also like to sincerely thank all of our sponsors for their commitment to<br />
our <strong>2013</strong> season!<br />

The NIU13 vehicle was designed with simplicity in mind. While the car is ready<br />
to compete when it leaves the shop, it grows with the driver by incorporating the<br />
ability to easily make optional adjustments to various features of the vehicle. This<br />
long-term value provides incentive above and beyond the already competitive<br />
power numbers that our simulation, design, and testing have yielded. Building<br />
upon developments made last year, we were able to find a reasonable compromise<br />
between weight transfer and yaw inertia to create a stable and responsive<br />
car in a lighter and stronger package. Suspension compliance was mitigated with<br />
a stiff chassis designed to provide high strength and serviceability to the rest of<br />
the vehicle, as well as improved driver safety from side impacts. The composite<br />
materials in the seat and body provide lightweight protection of various vehicle<br />
components, and reduce driver fatigue. Through rigorous tuning and simulation, a<br />
compact, lightweight powertrain system is chosen to maintain competitive power<br />
and reliability. Overall, each component of the NIU13 vehicle is designed for maximizing<br />
the power output through the simplest, most efficient method.<br />

University of Florida’s <strong>2013</strong> vehicle was designed to build on the success of 2012<br />
and push Gator Motorsports to a top ten finish.<br />
Goals for the <strong>2013</strong> package were established early on using careful analysis<br />
of 2012 vehicle data along with Optimumlap and ChassisSim vehicle simulation<br />
programs to identify weak areas of the 2012 package. These goals include<br />
improved amateur driveability, fuel economy, and transient dynamic performance.<br />
An evolution of the 2012 vehicle, significant design changes for the <strong>2013</strong> season<br />
include a switch to pull-rod actuated suspension, improved exhaust header, modified<br />
engine tuning and the incorporation of a Bosch ABS unit providing anti-lock<br />
braking and stability control.<br />
Combined with a long-standing program emphasis on reliability, serviceability,<br />
ergonomics, and the blood, sweat, and tears of our core team members, the<br />
University of Florida’s <strong>2013</strong> vehicle will be a strong contender at Formula SAE<br />

The team built upon the foundation laid by the previous year’s car. Major changes<br />
were minimized and a true evolution of the car was designed. The main adjustment<br />
that the team made was to reduce the size of the chassis to create a lighter<br />
and more efficient profile. The suspension design was kept the same, but optimized<br />
for a new geometry. Also, the engine system has retained its turbocharger<br />
with the intake and exhaust system now tuned to get the most from this system.<br />
In conjunction with these adjustments the team has turned to a standalone ECU<br />
system to ensure the electronics are in tune with the turbo. New for this year is<br />
an aero package consisting of a front wing, under tray, and rear wing. We view<br />
this package as a building block for the future and a strong addition to this year’s<br />
car. In total this car represents an advancement of our 2012 car and set a new<br />
standard for the future of the FSAE program at Stevens.<br />

For the <strong>2013</strong> FSAE Michigan competition, UNC Charlotte has designed and<br />
manufactured an advanced FSAE car that improves upon previous team designs.<br />
The UNC Charlotte FSAE team consists of 15 mechanical engineering students<br />
who are divided into three groups: chassis, engine, and body.<br />
After extensive testing of the school’s previous FSAE car, the chassis team began<br />
designing the suspension for the <strong>2013</strong> car. Several design advancements of the<br />
<strong>2013</strong> FSAE car include a structural carbon fiber floor, improved turning radius,<br />
higher suspension motion ratios, and a highly adjustable suspension system. In<br />
order to compare optimal theoretical settings with dynamically tuned setups, advantageous<br />
at-track adjustments were incorporated such as adjustable roll center<br />
heights without introducing unwanted kinematic variables.<br />
The engine team has implemented a KTM 500 ExC powerplant which will be<br />
electronically-controlled using Motec. The body team designed and manufactured<br />
a new carbon fiber body that incorporates a three-piece main shell with integrated<br />
side-pods and under-body. CFD flow simulation was also performed on the aero<br />
package to analyze and optimize the overall design.<br />

Continuing from previous cars, University of Waterloo Formula Motorsports has<br />
built a four cylinder engine, steel tube frame, 13 [in] wheel car for <strong>2013</strong>. This<br />
year’s design was driven by the results of a lap-time simulation; an aerodynamics<br />
package was added to the car as the lap-time simulation indicated a significant<br />
benefit from downforce. In addition to developing the aero package, ergonomics<br />
were a major focus with significant research and testing invested in determining a<br />
good driver position, adjustment and control strategy, as well as developing a car<br />
with predictable handling and engine behavior. The importance of vehicle testing<br />
on performance and reliability was paramount so projects and timelines were<br />
scoped to ensure that adequate testing time would be allowed. The end result is a<br />
vehicle that satisfies the goals of driver-centricity, reliability and performance.<br />

uconn Formula <strong>SaE</strong><br />
This year’s car marks the fifth car produced by UConn Formula SAE since reforming<br />
the team in 2007. The frame is a tubular steel space frame made from 4130<br />
chromoly with vacuum infused carbon fiber stress panels and body for increased<br />
torsional rigidity and weight reduction, respectively. A 2003 Suzuki GSx-R600 underwent<br />
a complete rebuild accompanied by a modified 13.3:1 compression ratio,<br />
slipper clutch, and the removal of first, fifth and sixth gear. A load cell in-line with<br />
the shifter allows for clutch-less downshifts. The intake and throttle body were<br />
SlS printed from glass-filled nylon with a flapper valve added to relieve pressure<br />
in the event of a back fire. The exhaust is constructed of mild steel in a 4-2-1<br />
configuration with ceramic coating both inside and out. A Salisbury differential<br />
enclosed in a cast magnesium housing with chromoly stub axles provides added<br />
drivability and reliability, while cast magnesium uprights provide additional weight<br />
savings. A steering rack manufactured in-house utilizes custom rack and pinion<br />
gearing enclosed in an aluminum housing with welded support tubes to reduce<br />
mounting compliance.<br />

Podium 600Ex was entirely set up only for F-SAE. We spent most of our days on<br />
the machine. The primary goal of the design is weight lightening. We adapated<br />
carbon fiber for the surge tank. And we also added minor changes for the front<br />
frame structure. The new shaped exhaust manifold is only purposed for higher<br />
pressure. Double Deck Diffuser is aptly described as one of the characters<br />
that makes it more distinctive. The first thing we had to deal with was making<br />
improvements on the machine comparing to last year’s machine.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> Bradley University FSAE car, the BR13 is Bradley’s 16th car built for<br />
the FSAE competition. The BR13 is designed for the weekend autocross driver<br />
looking for an economical, safe, and competitive vehicle that requires minimal<br />
professional driving skills. This year the focus for the team was car reliability<br />
and weight reduction. To meet these objectives, the center of the BR13 is a<br />
chromoly space-frame with structural side pods that increase torsional rigidity in<br />
a lighter frame design. The team switched engines from a CBR 600 to a Yamaha<br />
Genesis 80Fi engine and CVT package to eliminate shifting, decrease weight,<br />
and improve reliability. The use of composite materials such as polyester fabric<br />
body panels and a carbon fiber nose cone along with an aluminum firewall aid to<br />
reduce weight and keep costs low. The BR13 is on its way to be the first car from<br />
Bradley University that weighs under 500 lbs.<br />
The team would like to thank all the sponsors and responsible parties. We<br />
couldn’t have accomplished this without you! Feel free to stop by our paddock at<br />
competition. We’d like to hear what you think.<br />

Duke University’s <strong>2013</strong> Formula SAE racecar is a significant step forward for<br />
the organization, with an overarching theme of refining all vehicular subsystem<br />
components with the focus on weight reduction and innovative improvements.<br />
Through theoretical modeling, CFD analysis, wind tunnel verification, and finally<br />
on-vehicle testing and validation, it was determined that maintaining a full aerodynamics<br />
package for the new design remains the best use of resources to improve<br />
the vehicle’s overall performance. The 2012 FSAE Michigan competition vehicle<br />
performed well in each of the dynamic events, but the largest constraint on its<br />
overall performance was the gross vehicle weight. Despite having built a very<br />
robust vehicle that was already lightweight for a racecar with a steel space-frame,<br />
four cylinder engine, and full aerodynamics package, a number of design enhancements<br />
for the <strong>2013</strong> vehicle have been developed to create a strong overall<br />
design focused on incremental improvements within every subgroup.<br />

The RGP-003 is the third offering from Rose Grand Prix Engineering and we feel<br />
that it is our best. A focus on losing weight while ensuring robustness has led to<br />
a car that we feel will take the team to a new level of success. Major weight loss<br />
has occurred in the drivetrain, with a lightweight differential, new hub design, and<br />
many other changes, our drivetrain weight is almost half of last year’s car.<br />
The car has also major improvements in engine design, body work construction,<br />
electrical system routing, and aerodynamic developments.<br />
The team would like to thank all of the people who worked to make this possible,<br />
all of our sponsors, the Rose Advanced Transportation Systems Program, and all<br />

Our vision of the eac09 was that it should be a true “driver´s car” which would<br />
provide reliable top-performance for the hobby weekend-racer. Following this<br />
goal, three main aspects were set into focus for its development: agile driveability,<br />
safety, as well as reliability.<br />
Consequently, all subsystems were designed and produced according to those<br />
principles: the eac09 features a powerful four cylinder engine, a well though-out<br />
and yet “simple” carbon double A-arm suspension that pairs best possible friction<br />
with reliability, as well as a CFRP full monocoque that combines high stiffness<br />
and safety with low weight. All along, we payed close attention to ergonomics<br />
regarding both the physical human-car interaction (examples are the adjustable<br />
pedal box or variable ratio-steering) as well as the psychological human-computer<br />
interaction (namely the intuitive driver-interface with only one central incremental<br />
encoder for change of settings) in order to ensure that the driver can concentrate<br />
on one thing while he´s on the track – driving fast!<br />

MIP-Seoultech racing (Make Impossible Possible) participate in Formula-250 and<br />
Baja, and Electric Vehicle competition and is making a good record. Held in South-<br />
Korea. In 2011, we was awarded the Best Engineering Awards in KSAE Student<br />
Formula. The Best Engineering Award (Grand Prix) At that time, we decided to<br />
challenge the FSAE, because we are proof that can be a good vehicle even if low<br />
cost manufacturing and we was very confident.Before the design of the new FSAE<br />
car, the concept of the car has been settled. “Best cornering”. To accomplish this,<br />
the vehicle should provide high torque to help exiting the corner, lightweight chassis<br />
and powertrain and the proper use of the aerodynamics. The specific design<br />
goals are listed below<br />
• High Torque: Affordable one cylinder engine<br />
• Weight Reduction: Under 200kg<br />
• Aero dynamics: Downforce over 400N<br />
• Cornering: Lateral Force 1.4G<br />
And the last thing is ‘low cost’. Because low-cost is expected to contribute to<br />
the popularization of South-Korea motorsports market. So, the ninth-Formula and<br />
first-Fsae machine of MIP “MF-9s_KKUM” was designed. (KKUM=Dream) Finally,<br />
thanks to Seoultech lINC, and to everyone who helped the graduates, etc.<br />

We took the guidelines given to us by the FSAE and some previous knowledge to<br />
hit the ground running. The scenario of the competition is to sell this car to a potential<br />
Manufacturing company who then would turn and sell our design to the end<br />
consumer or race enthusiast. The team recognized that the race enthusiast should<br />
have the highest consideration when developing every aspect of our car. We<br />
emphasized three key areas in every portion of our design to ensure creation of<br />
a product that would have value for Manufacturers as well as the end consumer.<br />
With the consumer always in mind and driving our efforts, we focused on:<br />
-low Manufacturing Cost,<br />
-Outstanding Vehicular Performance,<br />
-Exceeding Functional Needs of Consumer<br />

of Evansville Team’s goals. The team has maintained a final drive weight of<br />
less than 400 lbs for the third year with the use of of a single cylinder power<br />
plant. The power plant has been tested and validated through water brake<br />
dynamometer testing, ensuring the engines optimization. Extensive testing was<br />
performed in order to ensure both the validity of Finite Element Analysis, as well<br />
as guaranteeing the accuracy of our design calculations. With an optimized suspension<br />
geometry and intake design, the <strong>2013</strong> team hopes to see significant improvements<br />
in vehicle performance and placement in the upcoming competition.<br />

The <strong>2013</strong> Oklahoma State University car, designated TENA, was designed to<br />
exemplify the successes of previous generations while building upon the foundations<br />
of previous lessons learned. The car was created, not only with the technical<br />
rules in mind, but with the intent of creating a business friendly car that would be<br />
easy to manufacture and remain affordable to the everyday autocrosser.<br />
At the heart of this year’s car lies a Yamaha YFZ450R single-cylinder ATV engine.<br />
The power supplied by this engine will propel the car to a maximum vehicle speed<br />
of 116 kph. The engine would be nothing without a frame to propel. This year’s<br />
frame is a tubular space frame made out of 4130 steel of the round and square<br />
varieties. TENA was designed to float like a butterfly on a double unequal length<br />
A-Arm suspension attached to both, the front and the rear. TENA also relies upon<br />
four 18x6-10 R25B Hoosier tires to lay the power down to the asphalt as she<br />
rounds corners and flies down straightaways.<br />
Manufacturer-purchased parts aside, all other aspects of TENA were handcrafted<br />
and machined with the utmost attention to detail by the members of the Okstate<br />
Racing Team.<br />
