2010 Formula SAE ® Michigan 

President’s Message 

Dear Formula SAE Participants and Organizers: 

Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at Michigan International 

Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. 

Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now more than 30 

years old, Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems 

engineering, design and problem solving, along with the teaming 

challenges of collaboration and cooperation. In short, Formula SAE, along 

with all of the SAE Collegiate Design Series competitions, provides the 

skills and experiences needed for a well-rounded engineering education. 

In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of 

competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from many 

different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events 

designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork 

skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will win first 

place, others will not. But all will leave here a winner because they will be 

better engineering students. 

Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank 

everyone for their hard work, support, volunteerism and participation. 

The experiences and the learning that you gain this weekend will last 

throughout your lives. 

Sincerely, 

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

2010 President 

SAE International

Concept of the Competition 

TThe Formula SAE ® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and 

graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula style, 

autocross racing cars. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the freedom to 

express their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions on the overall vehicle 

design. Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing, building, testing and 

preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions themselves give teams the chance 

to demonstrate and prove both their creation and their engineering skills in comparison to teams 

from other universities around the world. Registered for this event are 120 teams from colleges and 

universities. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering 

project as well as the opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort. 

For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged 

them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended sales market is the 

nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Therefore, the car must have very high performance in terms 

of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain, and 

reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and 

use of common parts. The manufacturing firm is planning to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited 

production run and the prototype vehicle should actually cost below $25,000. The challenge to the 

design team is to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents. Each 

design will be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car. 

Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: 

technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance trials, and high 

performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well the car performs. In each 

event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected 

in the scoring equations.

Static EvEntS 

design report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from 

the automotive and motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the 

design is to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how 

the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of 

engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team 

members will win the design event. 

cost report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will 

follow the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The 

objective of the event is for the participants to learn and understand the manufacturing 

techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase 

rather than fabricate themselves. 

presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and deliver a 

comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a fake manufacturing 

firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend autocross 

racing market and that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed. 

dynamic EvEntS 

acceleration: The race cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from a standing 

start over a distance of 75 meters. 

autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities 

on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the 

performance features of acceleration, braking and cornering into one event. The results of 

the Autocross scores determine the starting order for endurance. 

Skidpad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while 

making a constant-radius turn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of 

the number 8, the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g). 

Endurance: Over a distance of 1.1 miles the cars have to prove their durability under longterm 

conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, fuel economy, reliability – the 

cars have to prove it all.

The Tankia 2009, being the latest iteration of the successful FSAE car, can be 

best described with the adjectives ‘powerful’, ‘lightweight’ and ‘innovative’. 

Sporting a Yamaha R6 four-cylinder engine with custom intake, cams, head and 

exhaust which delivers 72.8 kW of power and smooth, wide-band torque, the 

Tankia 2009 packs the necessary drive to cross the acceleration finish line after 

just 3.73 seconds (European record). 

By using carbon fiber composites and lightweight metals such as aluminum 

and titanium, the car weights 195 kg (ready to race) and is thanks to its 5th 

generation monocoque structure yet very stiff and sturdy. The mechanism for 

detaching the rear-end has been improved, so that it can be removed in just 

about 7 minutes providing full engine access. 

Using Simulation Software such as OptimumK, Vedyna, Ansys and lots of acquired 

data we were able to better adapt the Tankia 2009’s suspension to the nature of 

FSAE tracks, e.g. optimizing camber change while cornering. 

To help the driver as well as the engineers, the car has advanced electronic 

systems for data acquisition and driver assistance.

Rich with history and tradition the RIT Formula Racing Team has competed in 32 

Formula SAE and Formula Student competitions on three different continents. In 

18 years, RIT has been awarded numerous accolades, including overall titles in 

the US, England, and Australia. 

The goal of the RIT Formula SAE Racing Team is to design and build a fast, 

simple, and reliable prototype racing car for the non-professional weekend 

autocrosser. The car needs to be affordable, easy to maintain, and dependable on 

race day. Safety systems and ergonomics must ensure a secure and comfortable 

environment for the driver. In addition, aesthetics, fit and finish are critical to 

attracting the potential buyer. To fulfill these needs, the race car was modeled 

in Pro/Engineer and iterative analysis was conducted using Pro/Mechanica, 

ANSYS, and CFdesign. Many components were also physically tested using 

both destructive and non-destructive methods, depending upon the application. 

Dynamometers were used to ensure proper tuning of the engine, dampers, and 

brakes. The car underwent extensive testing and tuning to validate critical design 

aspects and guarantee reliability.

The design objective of the 2010 MRacing team is to create a vehicle capable of 

scoring at least 800 points at the 2010 Formula SAE Michigan competition. Using 

a combination of historical competition data and vehicle simulation tools, targets 

for vehicle-level performance and reliability were established, and these targets 

were then used to set appropriate system, sub-system, and component objectives 

in light of packaging, serviceability, and cost constraints. 

Vehicle performance targets were set to produced a score of 800 points or 

greater in all previous FSAE Michigan competitions. To meet these targets, a 

vehicle must be easy to operate, calibrate, and maintain. It must also properly 

control the dynamics of the tires and sprung mass, have powerful engine and 

braking systems, and sufficient durability to last through all dynamic events. Thus, 

the design of the MR10 consists of a 183kg spaceframe car with independent 

suspension and 10? wheels powered by a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine 

with E85 fuel. To verify the performance of the vehicle, the team has conducted 

extensive pre-build tests and simulations, and plans physical tests that will 

validate designs on track.

university of akron 

The 2010 design goals for The University of Akron have been based on evaluation 

of previous designs to yield one of Zips Racing’s most competitive vehicles. 

The main focus was on reducing weight, improving skid pad performance, and 

reducing the acceleration time. These enhancements are being made to increase 

competitiveness throughout the competition. 

The Zips Racing team has met their main goal of reducing weight through many 

adjustments. This goal was achieved through removing the rear frame, utilizing 

custom lightweight one piece magnesium wheels, and removing 8% of each 

subsystems total weight. Other gains in performance are being achieved through 

the use of highly tunable dampeners, an advance ECU and data acquisition 

system, and the addition of a custom designed dry sump oiling system.

The 2010 Formula SAE Michigan competition is the second competition for the 

Northwestern Formula Racing Team. 

The design and construction of our second car has been aided by several 

significant changes from the 2008 car, including: Wm. C. Mitchell’s software suite 

for suspension kinematics and vehicle behavior and systems design; Lotus Cars; 

dynamic vehicle simulator; FSAE Tire Test Consortium data; Engine dynamometer, 

with in-house designed one person control, utilizing GoPower water brake unit, 

complete standalone operating capability, and with full logging capability; Other 

advanced analysis through the use of tools such as SolidWorks Simulation and 

Nx 6.0. 

These tools among many have allowed the NU team to pursue the following 

first iteration design goals for the 2010 vehicle: 399 pound race trim weight 

goal; 20% reduction in unsprung weight; Independent rear suspension which 

completely unloads inside rear tyre utilizing spool type drive; 45 bhp at 8,000 

rpm, with 32 bhp by 4,500 rpm from 450 cm3 Suzuki single cylinder power plant;

This is UOIT Motorsports’ third car to date. With a large amount of re-structuring 

within the team, the goal of this car was to increase the dynamic performance 

while solving the reliability issues that came with the previously built car. To 

achieve this, major changes were made to the chassis, powertrain, and 

aerodynamics of the car. The chassis now uses a front carbon panel monocoque, 

lightening the entire chassis by 20lbs, and stiffening it by an average of 250% 

from the previous steel tube frame. A real time fully adjustable aerodynamic 

system has been developed for the front and rear of the car, which will give 

maximum downforce through the corners and minimize the drag in the straight. 

The powertrain now features a VIPEC ECU system, working with a variable length 

intake and equal length exhaust runners powering a Suzuki 600 GSxR. UOIT 

would like to thank title sponsors DURMACH and Multimatic Inc. for their endless 

support in the build process of the F2010 car.

oakland university 

It was determined that an endurance event victory would be the standard by 

which to judge the success of this vehicle. By virtue of the endurance event, a 

car capable of succeeding here would triumph in the acceleration, skid pad, fuel 

economy or autocross portions as well. 

From this, several design criteria were formed; reliability, adjustability and 

driveability. Following the saying, “To finish first you must first finish”, our primary 

goal of reliability became a necessity, considering that 69% of the 2009 Formula 

SAE Michigan entrants failed to finish the endurance event. Through racing in 

numerous SCCA Solo events, the necessity to make quick adjustments for the 

plethora of conditions experienced during a race season was critically obvious. 

The final component of our design philosophy, driveability, was taken from the 

masses of data attained during hours of racing and testing endeavors. Driveability 

has been an overlooked point on previous entries due mainly to the difficulty in 

quantifying changes and their effect. Several key aspects were determined to 

have a great effect on this; engine output, brake system performance, driver 

controls and comfort.

quality, particularly of the driver interface, also play an integral role in the 2010 

model’s design. The vehicle reflects an overhaul of virtually every system in the 

car, building on the reliability and maintenance lessons that we have learned from 

previous designs, but ultimately its design focuses on the reduction of lap times. 

New to this vehicle is the Honda CBR600 RR engine with internal dry sump, 

as well as an Electro-Pneumatic shift and clutching system. The ergonomics

The 2010 race car is the second vehicle designed and built by the UConn 

Racing Team. We are driving forward by improving all aspects of our 2010 car. 

To increase performance the vehicle’s weight has been greatly reduced and 

the suspension was redesigned using optimum geometry for a variety of racing 

conditions. Each corner will utilize the same lightweight components which 

keeps maintenance costs low. The 2010 car is powered by a Suziki GSx-R 600 

using custom tuned intake and exhaust systems. An aftermarket ECU and engine 

dyno provided the engineers with tools to optimize engine parameters. Power 

is delivered to the wheels through a lightweight drivetrain utilizing a cam and 

pawl type differential and equal length axles. The chassis was designed around 

driver safety with suspension and engine mounting points in mind. The driver is 

protected by a carbon fiber and Kevlar body which is lightweight and durable. An 

electro-pneumatic shifting system, adjustable controls, and digital outputs allow 

the driver to stay focused on the course. The 2010 UConn race car will provide 

the driver with predictable handling, ease of maintenance, power at the wheels, 

and years of fun!

Queen’s university 

The Queen’s University Formula SAE Team consists of 15 individuals that are 

dedicated to conceiving, engineering, fabricating, testing, and racing a world 

class Formula SAE car. The team is unique in that a large majority of the car 

is fabricated in house by team members (i.e. driveshafts, CV joints, differential 

housing, hubs, printed circuit boards, brake rotors, uprights) over the course 

of approximately four months to reduce cost. The team concentrated their 

engineering efforts in areas that will produce the best competition result within 

resource limitations. 

The Queen’s car runs Goodyear D2696 tires to provide maximum acceleration 

capabilities and good kinematic flexibility. The wheel packages, carbon fiber control 

arms, and chassis have been designed to minimize mass while meeting stiffness 

targets. CG height and inertia have been further reduced through the use of front 

pullrods, a 55 degree seatback angle, a dry sump oiling system, a 44” track, and 

a 60” wheelbase. The Honda F4i has been chosen for its reliability and driveability. 

The end result is a reliable, stiff, lightweight, highly adjustable, race car.

Engineering and 2 Senior Electrical Engineering students with 13 underclassmen 

of various majors. The 2010 entrant is a mild steel space frame constructed from 

tubing ranging from .035” to .095” wall thickness in 5/8”, 3/4”, 1” round tubing 

and 1” square tubing. A double a-arm, pullrod style front suspension allows the 

bell cranks and shocks to be mounted below the frame, lowering the center of 

gravity. The rear suspension utilizes a solid axle with a 4-link with a watts link 

for lateral constraint, and pullrod activated shocks. The intake and exhaust for 

the 2008 Suzuki GSxR 600 engine are tuned to 8000 rpm for drivability. The car 

utilizes carbon tubing in the suspension and steering systems for the first time 

in team history. A frame mounted PDA is wired directly to the VEMS ECU, which 

records and outputs engine data directly to the driver. It is also removable after 

the event is complete.

The University of Wisconsin-Madison is competing with a light, tube-frame, 

turbocharged, single-cylinder powered vehicle for 2010. 

An E85 ethanol fueled KTM 525-xC engine that has been bored to a 

displacement of 565 cm3 powers the 2010. An IHI RHB32 turbocharger draws 

air through the restrictor and a student designed barrel throttle. A chain connects 

the electro-pneumatically actuated transmission to the final drive. A Drexler 

Motorsport Formula Student clutch type limited slip differential sends power from 

inboard tripod joints, through 300M half shafts and out to Rzeppa style constant 

velocity joints that drive aluminum hubs. 

Push rods connect Cane Creek Double Barrel four way adjustable shocks to the 

double, unequal length wishbone suspension and the Goodyear D2696 tires 

mounted to 13 inch wheels. Tilton master cylinders, AP Racing calipers and 

four outboard, floating rotors constitute the braking system. The driver is able to 

adjust brake balance electronically through the steering wheel, and rear anti-roll 

stiffness through a lever in the cockpit. 

A controller area network connects the Mototron engine control unit, the AiM 

EVO3 Pro data acquisition system, and the display on the steering wheel. A 

wireless modem is also able to transmit information to a laptop. It is possible to 

tune the engine on the fly with the car driving on the track using this connection.

The 2009 University of North Dakota Formula SAE team placed the highest in 

the history of UND’s involvement in FSAE. This has not in any way relaxed our 

quest for improvement. UNDFSAE is still pushing hard for every possible increase 

in performance. With calloused hands, the 2010 team will present the best car 

UND has ever produced. This year the chassis was professionally profiled and 

TIG welded with great results. The intake was designed and manufactured in 

house by UND students and will offer great improvements in both flow and throttle 

response. The exhaust is made of stainless steel and will be fabricated in house 

by UND students. The cooling system was completely redesigned to be a dual 

radiator system that without increasing weight is far more effective at cooling 

the engine. Most important of all, we have made all of these improvements while 

dropping almost 75lbs of weight from the car.

For the 2010 FSAE season, The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign FSAE 

team has continued to build upon the successful designs which yielded excellent 

results in the ‘07-’09 racing seasons--continuing a 5-year design cycle. Striving 

for excellence, this year’s design was focused around superior drivability, high 

quality, and exacting design. A significant addition to the 2009-2010 car design 

is a complete, CFD-optimized aerodynamics package. Full proof of concept 

testing yielded significant cornering and performance improvements. Other 

additions to the car include a carbon fiber body optimized for weight savings as 

well as aesthetics. The chassis has also been lightened to accommodate the 

addition of the aerodynamics package without compromising torsional rigidity. 

The Honda F4i powertrain has been retained, however, high compression pistons 

have been added to optimize the thermal efficiency and power output. The SLS 

intake manifold material has been upgraded to rectify the thermal deformation 

experienced in last year’s intake. Fifth and sixth gears were also removed from 

this year’s transmission in an effort to reduce rotating mass as well as the overall 

mass of the car.

(1) Ergonomic seat design: A driver’s seat is designed based on ergonomic 

analysis of human sitting posture. The seat is shaped with a very smooth curve for 

enhancing driver’s comfort, convenience and control. 

(2) Multi-functional frame: Frame elements are designed to provide space for 

component installation as well as load-bearing capabilities. Consequently, the 

frame becomes simple and light by minimizing the number of structural elements. 

(3) Enhanced cornering capabilities: The weight center of TF-2 is maintained near 

the bottom by lowering the engine and the seat. A variable steering system and a 

stabilizer are implemented to accomplish an optimum performance. Also, the front 

and rear suspensions are designed considering the tire characteristics. 

(4) Electronic shift: An electronic lever and an actuator are installed on the 

steering wheel such that a driver could do shift conveniently at any situations.

Leopard Racing is a third year competitor in the Formula SAE series. The 

objective for this years team was to complete a vehicle that is well suited for 

the competition performance wise while still being very reliable. The main goals 

for this new design were to significantly reduce weight and chassis size from 

previous vehicles, along with doing an extensive suspension analysis using tire 

data. The suspension is setup in a simple planar arrangement and push rod 

actuated at all four wheels, going into Penske shocks and Hypercoil springs set 

up by Anze Engineering. This year we decided to stay with a similar design for the 

drive system, using a Torsen differential in a custom aluminum housing. The major 

change came with the decision to run Taylor-Race half shafts in order to reduce 

weight. Another significant reduction in weight came from our new Keizer Racing 

Wheels. The steering rack is now placed on the floor which significantly improved 

driver comfort, while also helping to further minimize bumpsteer. The combination 

of weight reduction, extensive suspension analysis, driver training, and more 

attention to reliability should result in a strong finish for Leopard Racing in 2010.

The UVic Formula SAE Race Team has been competing in the Formula SAE series 

since 2002. With a smaller team of 12 dedicated students from the Engineering 

faculty at the University of Victoria, 2009/2010 has seen many improvements in 

the design, fabrication, manufacturing, and assembly of the car. This year’s car, 

UV10, has been developed around the use of a 4130 chromoly steel space frame 

with an aluminum rear subframe housing the drive train. With a decreased wheel 

base to 1524mm (60”), and design modifications to the frame and suspension, 

UV10 has been designed to be quick around the continuously tightening tracks 

seen at Formula SAE competitions. 

With major improvements in driveability, overall stiffness, and reliability, we are

Cedarville University’s Jackets Racing team set ambitious but attainable goals for 

2010. Each system of the team’s 2010 Formula SAE car, the JR6, was designed 

with the team goals in mind. The completely redesigned wheel packaging 

features custom CNC’ed wheel centers, center locking hubs, and floating brake 

rotors. Adjustable inboard pick-up points were incorporated into the suspension 

system, allowing for highly customizable suspension setups. The frame members 

behind the differential were eliminated, providing easy access to the differential 

and engine. The Haltech Platinum Sport 1000 ECU offers precise control of fuel 

injection, including sequential injection and individual cylinder trim. The Flatshifter 

Expert electronic shifter performs clutchless shifting. For the first time, a data 

acquisition system was implemented to aid the team in testing and driver training. 

Overall, the JR6 is a combination of agility, stability and power, and stands to be 

Jackets Racing’s most successful FSAE entrant to date.

Florida atlantic university 

This is Florida Atlantic University’s third ever produced race car. This year our 

team mainly focused on ergonomic and kinematic performance. Weight reduction 

was also considered as an important design consideration to increase overall 

vehicle performance. Using CNC’ed uprights and lightweight composite parts 

provided high strength-to-weight ratios. Through the use of ARBs and linear 

motion ratios, this car was designed to outperform all other racers. A GSxR-600 

was selected as the powerplant for this chassis. The intake was designed around 

maximum low end performance and high torque. It was manufactured out of 

aluminum sheet metal. The power was diverted to the rear wheels using a Visco 

Lok differential. Using “off-the-shelf” Bombardier ATV parts really made the rear 

drivetrain simple and yet robust. Overall this car will excel in all competitions.

ryerson university 

The 2010 Ryerson Formula SAE car is the team’s most innovative and powerful 

car to date. Brand new engine components (including an improved intake, 

exhaust and re-ground cams) work in conjunction with each other to produce 

more power than ever before, all while having a wider torque band. Gear ratios 

allow the driver to stay within the torque band as long as possible. Composites 

have played a major role this year with the inclusion of a fibreglass fuel tank and 

completely carbon fibre body. Carbon fibre suspension A-arms were created to 

ensure a very agile yet light car. This year’s steering wheel will be completely 

carbon fibre, housing a versatile electronic dash. Wrought magnesium uprights, 

which were designed and machined in-house, ensure that the upright assemblies 

can withstand any forces applied to them, yet are lighter than comparable 

aluminum uprights. Data acquisition and integrated sensors provide improved 

feedback from the car during test and race conditions, while also enhancing the 

fine tuning of the engine’s mapping capabilities. The mechanical shifter will be set 

aside for a pneumatic shifting system this year. For more information, visit www.

ohio State university 

The design focus for the 2010 Ohio State University FSAE car has been to utilize 

engineering tools such as FEA and CFD to justify new designs. 

The steel tube frame chassis was constructed of 4130 Chromoly tubing, and 

stress relieved in a full steel jig fixture to eliminate residual stresses. The design 

focused on creating a higher stiffness to weight ratio, reducing the cockpit size, 

to reduce weight, while still complying with the template rules, and improving 

serviceability and manufacturing. 

The double unequal length A-arm suspension setup was used on all four corners 

in conjunction with push-rod actuated dampers. The majority of design time was 

spent using Lotus Suspension Analysis software in order to keep a very high rate 

of linearity with the roll center migration and motion ratios. 

A custom carbon fiber intake manifold was used to feed air into the Honda CBR 

F4i 608hp powerplant. A custom designed and bent exhaust manifold allows the 

engine to breathe sufficiently while maintaining exhaust noise levels below the 

specified 110dBA.

mississippi State university 

The emphasis for Mississippi State University’s 2010 car was placed around a 

couple of different aspects. First the team focused on a steady diet for the car 

that included a smaller chassis, lighter wheels, and tighter overall packaging. 

Second, the team focused on a quick, yet thorough design for a greater amount 

of testing, and making use of a new data acquisition system to dial in suspension 

parameters, engine parameters, brake parameters, etc. The car is comprised of 

a DOM steel space frame, a fully adjustable double a-arm suspension with pull 

rod assembly, aluminum uprights and hubs, and Keiser 13x6 wheels. It maintains 

adjustability for comfort of the driver in the seat, pedal placement and headrest. 

This car was built for the weekend auto-crosser on a budget.

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.

university of windsor 

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!

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 bellcrank 

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.

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.

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 

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

For 2010, the UNC Charlotte FSAE team has strived to produce a lightweight, 

simple, and competitive vehicle without compromising the reliability and 

robustness required to complete all the dynamic events. The goal was to build 

a vehicle that provides sufficient feedback and control to enable amateur-level 

drivers to reach the vehicle’s limits. The synthesis of a responsive, predictable, 

and controllable suspension; reliable braking system; appropriately stiff and 

lightweight chassis; competitive engine modified for efficiency and robustness; 

simple yet forgiving drivetrain; and attention to driver ergonomics with steadfast 

controls yields a lightweight, simple, and competitive vehicle that will enable the 

UNC Charlotte team to be contenders in all aspects of the 2010 Formula SAE

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.

university of patras 

The 3rd car of the University of Patras Formula Student team is the most 

sophisticated and advanced until now. The best features of the previous cars 

were retained and optimized upon, while others were thoroughly revised. The 

major change from the previous car is the chassis, where a full length carbon 

fiber monocoque was favored against a spaceframe one, seeking for the 

optimum torsional stiffness and weight. Aiming to further decrease the overall 

weight, a single-cylinder Yamaha WR450 motor was selected to power the 

vehicle, transmitted over a chain and sprocket with the addition of a Drexler LSD 

differential. A multi adjustable suspension system was designed emphasizing 

on ease of set up and adjustability, which would render the car agile and fast on 

various track schemes and demands. The system utilizes pull rod actuated shock 

absorbers in order to keep the center of gravity as low as possible. ISR disc rotors 

and calipers were assigned the task of rapidly bringing the car to a halt.

For the 2010 season, the Knights Racing garage has produced a vehicle that they 

feel will be the most competitive vehicle yet to roll out of the shop. The KR10 has 

been completely redesigned from the tires up, to be the best it can be. 

The chassis is both torsionally stronger and lighter than the ‘08 and ‘09 cars, 

and while dimensionally smaller the ‘10 car has more driver room due to 

better planned driver controls. The suspension geometry has been completely 

redesigned with all components designed by the team tweaked to try and remove 

as much unsprung mass as possible. The drivetrain is similar to ‘09, with the 

Honda F4i being used for it’s unfailing reliability, but new to ‘10 is the use of the 

Haltech Platinum Sport 1000 giving us fully sequential fuel and spark control. 

The drivetrain is also similar utilizing a Torsen differential in a custom aluminum 

housing. Braking is handled by Wilwood PS1 calipers, MCP master cylinders, and 

outboard disk brakes. The bodywork this year was kept simple with the use of 

Lexan side panels and a fiberglass/Kevlar nosecone. 

Overall Knights Racing feels strongly that we have produced a highly competitive 

car for the 2010 season.

The FSSRacing team is proud to present its F2010 Formula SAE. This year’s car 

is an improved version of the F2008 car which competed in Detroit in May 2008. 

The main design orientations for the F2010 car were the optimization of its weight 

distribution and the stiffening of chassis/suspension interfaces. The rear portion of 

the chassis has been shortened by 10’’, enabling more load to be distributed on 

the rear wheels while keeping the same wheelbase. This year, we come back with 

our 2008 turbocharged Yamaha Genesis 80FI engine from a Phazer snowmobile 

which drives a CVT transmission. The new features are the dual stage chain 

and sprocket reducer as well as a new custom engine management system. We 

provided our car with a better packaging due to our short reducer as well as our 

new turbo and exhaust set-up. To sum up we worked in providing a more refined 

overall design as well as a restyled bodywork. With this all, we created a car in 

which we have high hopes.

Crimson Racing’s design objectives for the 2010 FSAE entry are to design and 

construct a reliable, competitive, and enjoyable race car. A secondary objective 

is to allow for ease of manufacture and to create good value in the overall target 

cost for producing the vehicle in quantity. 

In the sixth year of design and competition, we have practiced five years of 

continuous improvement of our race car design relative to the competition. We 

seek the most rigid frame design, a perfect suspension, and the most efficient 

engine and drive train. Thorough studies have repeatedly indicated that perfect 

subsystems mean nothing if they cannot be integrated properly with the rest of 

the car. For 2010, our main design goal has been to utilize our experience to 

design every part, not only to improve part performance, but to ensure system 

compatibility with every other part. 

Performance expectations for the car have been set high so that this year’s 

entry will be better than the last. At the conculsion of the 2009 design year we 

gathered our design team to determine which systems of our vehicle needed 

most improvement or better integration.

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.

Florida institute of technology 

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.

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

There’s a lot you can get in a Fiesta. A class-exclusive 

4" multifunctional LCD display,* standard. A PowerShift 

six-speed automatic transmission.** That’s the kind of 

engineering that makes it more responsive and still keeps 

it fuel-effi cient. † The Fiesta also has available keyless entry, 

push-button start, voice-activated SYNC ®†† and even 

ambient lighting. All told, that’s as much high-end technology 

as many premium cars. How’s that for high tech? 

IT’S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
