Event guide 2010 michigan - Michigan Turn Marshals

45university of wisconsin - madison
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 MRT-12 is McGill Racing Team’s twelfth entry to the Formula SAE series.
The team’s objectives for 2010 are: increased analysis, testing and validation,
improved engine development and handling. The MRT-12 features standardized
plumbing and fasteners in an effort to improve production. Passive rear-wheel
steering has been implemented to improve corner entry. Further implementation
of stressed carbon fiber body panels has reduced overall vehicle mass. Three
levels of theoretical and empirical testing has decreased engine development time
and produced a more powerful and reliable powertrain.
