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.
