Our <strong>2010</strong> car now has a better power to weight ratio, a more precise<br />

construction, better driveability, better maintainability and lower cost. We expect<br />

nothing less than excellence.<br />

The design objective of the <strong>2010</strong> MRacing team is to create a vehicle capable of<br />

scoring at least 800 points at the <strong>2010</strong> Formula SAE <strong>Michigan</strong> competition. Using<br />

a combination of historical competition data and vehicle simulation tools, targets<br />

for vehicle-level performance and reliability were established, and these targets<br />

were then used to set appropriate system, sub-system, and component objectives<br />

in light of packaging, serviceability, and cost constraints.<br />

Vehicle performance targets were set to produced a score of 800 points or<br />

greater in all previous FSAE <strong>Michigan</strong> competitions. To meet these targets, a<br />

vehicle must be easy to operate, calibrate, and maintain. It must also properly<br />

control the dynamics of the tires and sprung mass, have powerful engine and<br />

braking systems, and sufficient durability to last through all dynamic events. Thus,<br />

the design of the MR10 consists of a 183kg spaceframe car with independent<br />

suspension and 10? wheels powered by a naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine<br />

with E85 fuel. To verify the performance of the vehicle, the team has conducted<br />

extensive pre-build tests and simulations, and plans physical tests that will<br />

validate designs on track.<br />
