71michigan State university
Michigan State University’s 2010 Formula SAE Car, named Car 71, features
many design improvements for the team. Largely due to the team’s desire to
maximize weight savings, Car 71 is built around a CFD-designed full carbon
fiber monocoque chassis. Additional highlights include an adjustable suspension
system and a multitude of composite components; an effort by the team to utilize
advanced technologies to create light solutions to its design problems.
The MSU Formula Racing Team is continuing its “Race for a Cause” campaign by
partnering with the mid-Michigan affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. As Car
71 races around the tracks at Michigan International and Auto Club Speedways; it
will be raising funding to support breast cancer research and awareness through its
organization. For more information please visit: race-cause.org.

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.
