Formula <strong>SAE</strong> Michigan<strong>2013</strong> <strong>SAE</strong> President’s MessageDear Formula <strong>SAE</strong>® Participants and Organizers:Welcome to the Formula <strong>SAE</strong> competition at Michigan <strong>International</strong> Speedway inBrooklyn, Michigan.Formula <strong>SAE</strong> is steeped in tradition and competition. Now in its 35th year,Formula <strong>SAE</strong> provides the real-world challenges of systems engineering, designand problem solving, along with the teaming challenges of collaboration andcooperation. In short, Formula <strong>SAE</strong>, along with all of the <strong>SAE</strong> Collegiate DesignSeries competitions, provides the skills and experiences needed for a wellroundedengineering education.In addition to learning, Formula <strong>SAE</strong> also provides a unique form of competition. This week, collegiate engineeringstudents from many different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challengetheir engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some willwin 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 learning you gain this weekend will last throughout your lives.Sincerely,Donald G. HillebrandPresident, <strong>SAE</strong> <strong>International</strong>Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>page 1page 1


Concept of the Competitiontable of contents:Concept of theCompetition...................... 2Schedule.......................... 4Awards............................. 7MIS Teams listedby Country........................ 8Team Information............ 10MIS Site Map.................. 69Key Players..................... 70Sponsors........................C4The Formula <strong>SAE</strong> ® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduateand graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formulastyle, competition vehicle. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and thefreedom to express their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions onthe overall vehicle design. Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing,building, testing and preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitionsthemselves give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creationand 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 greatexperience for young engineers in a meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity ofworking in a dedicated team effort.For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm hasengaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intendedsales market is the nonprofessional weekend competitor. Therefore, the car must have veryhigh performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must below in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced byother factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The manufacturing firmis planning to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited production run. The challenge to thedesign 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 bestoverall car.Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic eventsincluding: technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performancetrials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how wellthe car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptableperformance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations.page 2page 2 Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>


Static <strong>Event</strong>s:Design Report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from the automotive andmotorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the design is to evaluate the engineering effort thatwent into the design of the car and how the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates thebest use of engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team members willwin the design event.Cost Report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will follow the prototype. Thecost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The objective of the event is for the participants to learnand understand the manufacturing techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen topurchase rather than fabricate themselves.Presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop anddeliver a comprehensive business case that will convince the executives ofa fake manufacturing firm that the team’s design best meets the demandsof the amateur weekend competition market and that it can be profitablymanufactured and marketed.The following points are possible:Static <strong>Event</strong>s 75 Presentation(Thursday) 150 Design100 Cost AnalysisDynamic <strong>Event</strong>s:Acceleration: The cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from astanding start over a distance of 75 meters.Autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability andhandling qualities on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars.The course will combine the performance features of acceleration, brakingand cornering into one event. The results of the Autocross scores determinethe starting order for endurance.Dynamic <strong>Event</strong>s 75 Acceleration(Friday & Saturday) 50 Skid-Pad150 Autocross100 Fuel Efficiency300 EnduranceTOTAL POINTS 1000Skid-Pad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radiusturn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of the number 8; the cars demonstrate how good lateralforces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g).Endurance: Over a distance of 22 km the cars have to prove their durability under long-term conditions. Acceleration,speed, handling, dynamics, fuel efficiency, reliability – the cars have to prove it all.Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>page 3page 3

1Oregon State UniversityGlobal Racing3Universitat StuttgartRennteam Uni StuttgartGlobal Formula Racing is the first internationally collaborative F<strong>SAE</strong> team. <strong>Students</strong>from Oregon State University and Duale Hochschule Baden WurttembergRavensburg work together to design, build, test and race two cars every year, onecombustion one electric.Stop by our pits to see our <strong>2013</strong> entry and say hi!Since 2006 the Rennteam Uni Stuttgart has built very successful cars. TheF0711-7 follows in this streak of success as the seventh car built by theRennteam.The frame consists of a full body CFRP safety cell in the front and a tubular steelspace frame at the rear. In comparison to the big tire tracks of the F0711-6, lastyear’s car, we changed to 10’’ wheels for the 11-7. This new chassis concept allowsimproved driving dynamics, greater agility and faster lap times at a reducedoverall weight. It was tried to reduce weight in order to get better handling andfaster acceleration of the car. Less rotating mass in the engine and optimized applicationresult in improved rev up of the engine and better drivability for the driverthan the car’s predecessors possessed. Thereby we stick to our reliable and wellknown Honda CBR600rr engine.The Rennteam DNA is obvious in the design. The typical Stuttgart nose, the blackand white appearance and the similarities with its predecessor in point of shapeare clearly visible.We are looking forward to an exciting competition!BRAKE : Tilton, Brembo, APBSCD : 96mm/62mm/1/450ccCOOLING : Oil and water coolersDRIVE : ChainELECTRONICS : MotecENGINE : Honda CRF450xFR/RR TRACK : 1125mmFRAME : Carbon monocoque, steel hoopsFUEL SYSTEM : Honda fuel pump, bosch injectorFUEL TYPE : 92 octaneMATERIAL : Steel, Al, carbon, plastic, noneMPD : 9100MPT : 9100OLWH : 3100/1300/1327 mmSUSPENSION : SLA pullrod front, pushrod rearTIRE : Hoosier LC0UNIQUE : HeritageWEIGHT : 493WHEELBASE : 1555BRAKE : floating rotors, 4 pistons front, 2 pistons rearBSCD : 67.0mm/ 42.5mm/ 4 cylinder/ 599ccmCOOLING : student built, separate cooling cyclesDRIVE : chain driveELECTRONICS : data acquisition system, telemetry,adjustable anti roll bar + intake systENGINE : Honda CBR 600 RRFR/RR TRACK : 1170mm/1150mmFRAME : Hybrid Frame, monocoque + tubular steelspace frameFUEL SYSTEM : 2 stage fuel injection systemFUEL TYPE : E85MATERIAL : aluminum tankMPD : 85hpMPT : 65NmOLWH : 2651mm long, 1357mm wide, 1059mm highSUSPENSION : pullrods T-type anti roll bar front. pushrods,U-type anti roll bar rearTIRE : 10" Hoosier TireUNIQUE : modified camshafts + crankshaft, narrowedinlet ports pipes + outlet portsWEIGHT : 542lbsWHEELBASE : 1620mmUnited StatesGermanypage 10 Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>

6Graz University of TechnologyTU Graz Racing8Ecole De Technologie SuperieureFormula <strong>SAE</strong> ETSThe TANKIA2012 is the most revolutionary development in the history of theTUG-Racing team. In recent years, we used an engine that was amongst themost powerful on the track. This year, we made a turn regarding this concept.The focus is now on lightweight and agility rather than merely power. The chassishas become slimmer, the tires smaller and we shortened the track as well as thewheelbase. And we even went one step further: we switched the engine from aheavy 4-cylinder to a 1-cylinder KTM. As a result of our changes, we estimate amuch better fuel consumption and more agility. These improvements will providethe driver with enough confidence to stick it into the bends and prove our point.Our car comes with a carbon fiber monocoque and a carbon fiber space framerear end, which is stiffer and makes it possible to remove the engine very quickly.The self-developed multifunctional steering wheel enables the driver to adjustvehicle parameters easily during the race.The AXF13 design is based on ambitious competition objectives. The result is acompact, lightweight, efficient, fast race car. Using a numerical approach, backedby extensive experimental validation the team is able to always push the limitsfurther and further.The AXF<strong>2013</strong> marks a new era in the ETS history, being the first car with aerodynamicsdevices. Using extensive Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) the teammanaged to design a well balanced and lightweight package.BRAKE : 4 disc system, self designed steel rotors,adjustable brake balance,BSCD : 95mm/72mm/1 cylinders/510ccCOOLING : side pod mounted radiators with thermostaticcontrolled electric fansDRIVE : Chain, 520ELECTRONICS : multifunctional steering wheel, tractionand launch control,ENGINE : 2012 KTM EXC 500FR/RR TRACK : 1386mm/1028FRAME : Carbon fibre monocoque and carbon fibre rearendFUEL SYSTEM : student designed and built, fuel injection,2-spray preparation,FUEL TYPE : gasoline, 100 octaneMATERIAL : carbon fiber prepregs, Nomex and Aluminumhoneycombs, carbon-insertsMPD : 10000MPT : 65000OLWH : 2869mm/1386mm/1028mmSUSPENSION : unequal length a-arms, front pull, rearpush rodTIRE : 18x6,0-10 Hoosier LC0UNIQUE : CFRP rims, multifunctional steering wheel,WEIGHT : 476 lbWHEELBASE : 1550mmBRAKE : Outboard disk, 2 and 4 pistons calipersBSCD : 95mm / 62.4mm / 1 / 449ccCOOLING : Sidepods mounted aluminium radiatorDRIVE : ChainELECTRONICS : Smoke tube and magic readersENGINE : 2011 Yamaha WR450FFR/RR TRACK : 1162mm / 1111mmFRAME : Single piece carbon fiber monocoqueFUEL SYSTEM : EFI, port injectedFUEL TYPE : unleaded 93MATERIAL : Carbon Fiber, Aluminium, Steel, Titanium,Balsa,Nylon, Blood, Sweat and TearsMPD : 8500 rpmMPT : 8000 rpmOLWH : 2827mm (11.3in) / 1321mm (52po) / 1193.8mm(47in)SUSPENSION : Double Wishbone, pushrod actuatedHorizontal Springs & Dampers, Anti-Roll BarTIRE : 10 in Hoosier LC3UNIQUE : Fabriquée en françaisWEIGHT : 483 lbsWHEELBASE : 1530 mmAustriaCanadapage 12 Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>

Air Force Academy18USUSAFA Formula <strong>SAE</strong>19Columbia UniversityKnickerbocker MotorsportsThe United States Air Force Academy is a four year undergraduate militaryinstitution that develops leaders of character for the US Air Force. Part of thisdevelopment involves capstone projects such as Formula <strong>SAE</strong>. The goal of the<strong>2013</strong> F<strong>SAE</strong> team was to design the smallest, lightest, most responsive racecarever developed by the Academy. This goal was achieved by maximizing lateral andlongitudinal acceleration. To improve longitudinal and lateral acceleration, a mainfocus in design was to reduce weight to less than 400 lbs, dropping 33 poundsfrom the baseline 2012 F<strong>SAE</strong> vehicle. To facilitate this, the decision was made toswitch to 10” wheels, which decreased the overall weight and center of gravityheight, also contributing to increasing the acceleration capabilities. This changerequired a complete redesign of the suspension and braking systems and a significantchange to the chassis. These changes resulted in a 61 inch wheel base,track widths of 44 inches in the front and 43 inches in the rear, a more rearwardweight distribution of 45/55 front/rear, a center of gravity height of 11 inches, anda final weight of 399 lbs.Equipped with powerful features and redesigned to improve performance instatic and dynamic events, the KMR-13 is the sixth F<strong>SAE</strong> car constructed byKnickerbocker Motorsports.Reliability, efficiency,and preciseness are the basesto improve upon.The design and manufacturing of the KMR-13 surpasses thepast iterations of KM cars due to substantial increase in manpower, manufacturingtime, and funding.We achieved goals of closely-packaging dynamic systemsand use of lighter,cutting-edge materials in static systems to carry out ourdesign goals.Our car’s performance is greater than the sum of its parts and ourattention to detail and knowledge has enabled us to take advantage of manysynergies in the overall design leading the KMR-13 vehicle to be KM’s mostsuccessful design yet.We would like to thank our sponsors:Columbia EngineeringAlumni Association,CU Department of Mechanical Engineering,CarletonLaboratory,CU Facilities,Activities Board at Columbia,CU Powerhouse, AlcoaInc.,Zoltek, Momentive,SOMS Technologies,Green Earth Technologies,Atlassian,QBC Bearings,Fedhill, PTC,Aurora Bearing,DENSO,Lincoln Electric,Timken,MorelIndustries,Hot Seat Chassis,and Aircraft Spruce.BRAKE : 4 wheel diskBSCD : 95 mm bore / 72 mm stroke / single cylinder /510.4 ccCOOLING : Series cooling system with side mounted Alcore radiatorsDRIVE : TRE geared torque-biasingELECTRONICS : PE 3 ECU, Traqmate SystemENGINE : KTM 525FR/RR TRACK : 1117mm/1092,44in/43inFRAME : Triangulated Space Frame ChassisFUEL SYSTEM : single port fuel injectedFUEL TYPE : 93 OctaneMATERIAL : 4340 stell tube frame, carbon fiber bodypanelsMPD : 34 @ 6600 rpmMPT : 35 @ 4400 rpmOLWH : 2543.8/100.2SUSPENSION : Unequal Length, Non-parallel A-ArmSystemTIRE : 19.5x7-10 R25B HoosierUNIQUE : Wireless ECU communication, Traqmate datalogging systemWEIGHT : 549WHEELBASE : 1549.4/61BRAKE : Tilton 77 Series Components, Brembo 34mmCalipers, 220mm Floating RotorsBSCD : 67mm bore/ 42.5mm stroke/ 4 cylinder/ 599 ccCOOLING : Single Pass Side-Mounted Radiator with ECUcontrolled electric fanDRIVE : 520 Chain Driven, Quaife ATB, 52:11 gear ratioELECTRONICS : MegaSquirt 3, Custom LED Dash, RaceTechnology DL1 Data LoggerENGINE : Honda CBR 600 F4i, custom intake and 4-1exhaust systemFR/RR TRACK : 1219 mm front, 1168 mm rearFRAME : 4130 Steel Space FrameFUEL SYSTEM : Electronic Fuel Injection, SequentialFUEL TYPE : 93 Octane GasolineMATERIAL :MPD : 9500 RPMMPT : 8000 RPMOLWH : 3150 mm long, 1470 mm wide, 1380 mm highSUSPENSION : Double unequal A-arm, push rod actuatedspring/damper.

27York College of PennsylvaniaYC RacingUniversity - W Lafayette29Purdue UniversityYC Racing is a seventh year team from York College of Pennsylvania. The team iscomposed of 16 mechanical engineering students and an electrical engineer. Allof the students are seniors and build the car from scratch every year. Theteam has several goals to improve the car. These include reducing unsprungweight, increasing engine power, improve ergonomics, and have a more durabledrivetrain. The total goal weight of the car is 493 lbs, 37 pounds less thanlast year. Our car makes use of a Yamaha R6 motor with a Taylor Race QuaifeDifferential. We have 81 hp at the sprocket with 32 ft-lbs of torque at 11500rpms. The suspension makes use of pull rods in the front and push rods in therear for better packaging of the differential. YC Racing is different from otherteams because we are all seniors and we do this as our capstone project. Thismeans that we design, build, and test our own car in one year instead of being aclub for four years.The <strong>2013</strong> entry from Purdue University, West Lafayette was designed with a focuson quick completion in order to start testing and driver training sooner. Therefore,many designs were kept the same, but were refined to ensure reliability. A majorperformance enhancement was the addition of an aero package that incorporatesa front and rear wing, under tray, and sculpted bodywork. The vehicle’s electronicswere also developed. A custom power distribution module was implemented whichconsolidated mechanical relays, terminal blocks, and other components into a solidstate, reprogrammable unit. To improve drivability, modifications to the engine packagewere made and an electro-pneumatic clutch and shifter were added.The success of the Purdue F<strong>SAE</strong> team is not only due to the hard work and dedicationof its members but also of the entire community that supports the team. Ahuge thank you goes out to Purdue University, our sponsors, our alumni, and theF<strong>SAE</strong> volunteers that make the events a success. A special thanks to our familyand friends for their understanding, patience, and support this year.BRAKE : Front outboard, rear inboard Wilwood Calipersand Aluminum RotorsBSCD : 65.5mm / 44.5mm / 4 / 599.8ccCOOLING : Water cooledDRIVE : Chain and sprocketELECTRONICS : Edge Performance ECUENGINE : 2005 Yamaha R6 w/ Wiseco pistons (13.4:1 CR)FR/RR TRACK : 1219mm Front, 1194mm RearFRAME : 4130 Alloy steel tubeFUEL SYSTEM : Fuel InjectedFUEL TYPE : 93MATERIAL :MPD : 12000 rpmMPT : 11500 rpmOLWH : 2857.5 mm long, 1371.6 mm wide, 1212mmhighSUSPENSION : Pull Rod Front, Push Rod rear withPenske shocksTIRE : 20.5x6-13 R25B HoosierUNIQUE : Hand Shifting and Clutch on wheelWEIGHT : 643WHEELBASE : 1575mmBRAKE : Four Wheel DiskBSCD : 67 mm/ 42.5 mm/ 4 cyl/ 599 ccCOOLING : Water to AirDRIVE : Chain DriveELECTRONICS : M400 ECU, Custom PDMENGINE : Honda F4iFR/RR TRACK : 1226 mm/1218mmFRAME : 4130 Space FrameFUEL SYSTEM : Fuel Injection with Electronic Fuel PressureRegulationFUEL TYPE : 93 OctaneMATERIAL :MPD : 11,000MPT : 7,000OLWH : 3058 mm, 1423 mm, 1047 mmSUSPENSION : SLATIRE : 20.5 x 7.0-13 R25BUNIQUE :WEIGHT : 268 kgWHEELBASE : 1613 mmUnited StatesUnited Statespage 24 Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>

31University of ToledoRocket Motorsports32Brown UniversityBrown F<strong>SAE</strong>This year’s car, UTR-19, was built around simplicity and reliability while alsotaking on some new design features. Utilizing tyre consortium data as a startingpoint, UTR-19 features a rigid tubular chassis, CBR600 F4i, and Penske shocksbacked up with extensive durability testing. Serviceability and weight reductionwere also considered with every component designed. With a large amount oftime dedicated to testing and refining we hope to have an all around reliable andfine tuned car for competition.Our focus for <strong>2013</strong> is to improve upon our designs from previous years by analyzingthe failures and successes of past vehicles. We designed a more reliable anddrivable vehicle while adding additional data logging and processing capabilities,to improve our tuning ability and allow our vehicle to serve as a test-bed for futureyears. We also designed the vehicle with the goal of promoting design for manufactureand assembly, to reduce time spent on these tasks, and give us moretime to tune and train in the car.

Good luck Formula teams!Mizzou Racing is proud to introduce the <strong>2013</strong> entry into F<strong>SAE</strong>. Building on almost30 years of Mizzou Formula <strong>SAE</strong> history, we have designed a car that championsreliability and drivability, while also embracing creativity and innovation, testing ourengineering limits. Starting with the bullet-proof Honda CBR600RR, and followingthe motto “you gotta give the engine what it wants”, we have produced a formidablepower train that reliably produces a supply of relentless but controllable power.We also focused heavily on putting that power to use. Our switch back to Hoosiertires demanded that our suspension be highly optimized to squeeze out every lastbit of performance, so a premium was placed on maintaining optimum camberangles. To maximize lateral acceleration, our already impressive aerodynamicspackage was overhauled, and now produces an incredible amount of downforce.To help manage the massive aerodynamic loads, an active-aerodynamics systemwas developed to allow for a tunable aero-balance at any speed, with the abilityto react dynamically to various different driving maneuvers, keeping us as close tothe limit as possible at all times.uck Formula teams!THE DIFFERENCE BETWAND AN ENGINEER IS KGood luck Formula teams!The Future is Ours to MakeTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DREAMERAND AN ENGINEERThe Future is Ours to MakeIS KNOWLEDGE.Good luck Formula teams!BRAKE : 4 wheel outboard discBSCD : 600cc 4-cylCOOLING : Single Radiator w/FanDRIVE : Chain, #520ELECTRONICS : Pe-3 ECUENGINE : 2012 Honda CBR600RRFR/RR TRACK : 1219/1194mm -48/47inFRAME : Steel SpaceframeFUEL SYSTEM : ExternalFUEL TYPE : 93 OctaneMATERIAL :MPD : 80 RWHP (10,000rpm)MPT : 40 ft-lb (8,500rpm)OLWH : 2971x1511x1193mmSUSPENSION : Double A-Arm, Pullrod front, pushrod rearTIRE : Hoosier R25B 20.5x7-13"UNIQUE : Active Aerodynamics, Electro-mechanicalShiftingWEIGHT : 650lbWHEELBASE : 1549mm/61inTHE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DREAMERAND AN ENGINEER IS KNOWLEDGE.Good luck Formula teams!The Future is Ours to MakeThe Future is Ours to Makewww.careers.magnapowertrain.comwwwwwww.careers.magnapowertrain.comUnited Stateswww.careers.magnapowertrain.comInformation published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>page 27


34Worcester Polytechnic InstituteWorcester Polytechnic InstituteJose State University35SanSpartan RacingThe <strong>2013</strong> WPI Formula <strong>SAE</strong> racecar represents the third iteration of WPI’slow cost, driver focused design. The car is powered by a lightweight, naturallyaspirated 499cc Yamaha Genesis 80FI two cylinder engine controlled by a HaltechS2000 ECU. The intake manifold is a sealed, plastic unit and the exhaust is anequal length, non-merging system. This engine is mated to a continuously variabletransmission to increase the competiveness of nonprofessional drivers. Anergonomically designed tubular steel space frame allows all drivers to race comfortablyand features an unequal length control arm front suspension. Similarly,the rear suspension utilizes a pushrod design with unequal length control arms.Both front and rear brakes use floating, hub mounted rotors and opposing pistoncalipers. Vehicle instrumentation consists of a single 4.3” touch screen interfaceand speaker. This is capable of logging key system parameters and issues audiovisualalerts to the driver. Lastly, the car’s body is comprised of a wire frame nosecone wrapped with a thin plastic shell and two ABS plastic side panels. This offersan aesthetically pleasing package while protecting the driver from road debris.Spartan Racing returns in <strong>2013</strong> with SR-5, the car that marks our first half-decadeof Formula <strong>SAE</strong> racing. Our fifth build is the first to focus heavily on testingand verification, and will be the test bench and launch pad for many future refinements.This year, we have added an aerodynamic body package with undertrayand diffusers, a fully redundant electropneumatic shift system, traction control,and launch control. Despite these additions, we have largely maintained thephilosophy of building racecars with simplified components and assemblies thatare easy to maintain, and with a polished fit and finish.

Polytechnic State University41Southern Poly MotorsportsSouthern Poly Motorsports is constantly developing new ways to improve uponprevious designs to enhance the experience of the race car driver, whether it bea novice or skilled racer. The largest design goal for our <strong>2013</strong> car is “thoroughlydesigned” simplicity. This includes reducing part count and increased serviceability,all while incorporating excellent performance capabilities. This has played anintegral role in the design process, which has seen many changes due to theseconstraints. The reduction in parts as well as multifunction parts has led to anoverall weight reduction of about 14% compared to previous designs. Manufacturabilityand cost were the other big factors in the design process, with an overallgoal to reduce the overall cost and design parts for low to medium size productionruns.

42University of Maryland - College ParkTerps RacingUniversity43Northwestern Formula RacingThe University of Maryland’s <strong>2013</strong> Formula <strong>SAE</strong> car (TR13) is a refinementof Maryland’s 2012 car (TR12) focusing on reliability, engine development,aerodynamics, and performance consistency. The TR13 incorporates high-lift,low-drag aerodynamic effects with a single-cylinder 450-cc motocross engineand Hoosier 18.0 x 7.5 - 10 R25B tires. The aerodynamic package includesfront and rear wings with adjustable flaps and a full length undertray. Althoughthe lift seems quite large for a Formula <strong>SAE</strong> car, Terps Racing verified 540-lbtotal lift at 60 mph on their TR11 car. The TR13 includes a much more effectiveundertray and rear wing. The performance benefits of incorporating aerodynamiceffects were evaluated and justified using lap simulation studies, field testing,CFD modeling, and competition experience. Design choices for the engine, framestructure, front suspension, steering, and seating were largely dictated by thelayout of the wings and undertray diffusers. Track width and wheelbase weredetermined using the lap simulations and CFD modeling. Lastly, horsepower,weight, and fuel economy tradeoffs were analyzed using the lap simulations tofurther evaluate design decisions.Northwestern Formula Racing (NFR) is competing at Formula <strong>SAE</strong> Michigan withNFR13, the team’s fourth vehicle.

State University44WayneWarrior RacingVirginia University46WestMountaineer RacingThis year’s entry for F<strong>SAE</strong> Michigan is WSU’s 7th iteration formula car deemedRW7. After numerous pitfalls of the previous iteration vehicle, RW7 returns tothe basics of design with a simple, reliable, and competitive setup. Many of thesystems were redone to move from a complex system which had many failuresto a simple combination of systems which work in harmony. Our targets for thisiteration were to have a chassis weight of 32.6 kg (72 lbs.) which is three poundslighter than the previous iteration, however, almost 4 times stronger in regards totorsional rigidity. The exhaust was deemed to choke the engine instead of helpingit breathe, with the transition to a modified wet sump, it opened an opportunityto better manufacture the exhaust system.This is Mountaineer Racings first year. The team decided to build a basic tubularsteel spaceframe. The vehicle has fully independent suspension and is poweredby a 600 cc Yamaha R-6 engine.We weren’t able to test the previous iteration vehicle as much as we would’veliked to, but we still learned a lot from the vehicle. What designs worked, whatdesigns didn’t, what designs to pursue and are simple and we know are reliableand other designs which aren’t as reliable and should be avoided. This iterationreflects what we saw to be simple, reliable, and competitive over our previousiteration vehicle.BRAKE : Mild Steel, Slotted Rotors; Brembo Calipers;BSCD : 67 mm bore/42.5 mm stroke/4 cylinders/599 ccCOOLING : Side-mounted, Aluminum RadiatorDRIVE : Chain #520, non O-ringELECTRONICS : EngineLab ECUENGINE : Honda CBR 600RRFR/RR TRACK : 1295 mm / 1194 mmFRAME : 4130 round Chrome-moly steel spaceframeFUEL SYSTEM : Port Fuel Injection, fully sequentialFUEL TYPE : 93 octaneMATERIAL : Carbon Fiber Seat and Nosecone; ABS sidepanelsMPD : 12,000 rpmMPT : 8,000 rpmOLWH : 2833 mm long, 1062 mm wide, 1315 mm highSUSPENSION : Double, unequal length A-Arm.

Institute of Technology52Florida Tech MotorsportsUniversity - St Louis53WashingtonWU RacingThe <strong>2013</strong> Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) Formula <strong>SAE</strong> team is a first yearteam that designed this vehicle from the ground up for reliability, drivability, andease of maintenance. This vehicle will hopefully be a launch-pad for the successof future entries from FIT to this competition. This vehicle is running a Rotax4-Tec 449cc single cylinder engine from a Can-Am DS450 all-terrain vehicle – achoice that was based on the engine’s handling, low-end torque, and throttleresponse (also a dealer was close by). The space-frame chassis is made from4130 steel, and was designed for driver ergonomics and ease of access to thevehicle components – especially mounting/removal of the engine. The suspensioncontrol arms were made from 4130 steel joints bonded to unidirectional carbontubing. The suspension uprights were made from 6061-T6 aluminum. The team’sprimary goal in designing and manufacturing this vehicle was to keep things assimple as possible. We aim to complete all the events – a first in FIT history – andpave the way for the future.The WU-<strong>2013</strong> marks the second consecutive year in Washington University in St.Louis history that a Formula <strong>SAE</strong> car has been designed and built on a one-yearcycle. The primary goals for this year’s car were packaging and drivability, with anemphasis on manufacturability to reduce overall manufacturing time and allow formore testing. Using the knowledge gained from the design process and competitionlast year, the team was able to improve upon many aspects of the car andset a foundation for future designs. High priority was put on making sure that allof the subsystems of the car were well integrated in order to achieve a cohesivedesign.With the WU-<strong>2013</strong>, WU Racing has established itself as a successful engineeringprogram and has created a basis for years of exemplary designs to come.BRAKE :BSCD : 97mm/4/single/449ccCOOLING : 8"x14"x2" aluminum radiatorDRIVE : ChainELECTRONICS : DynoJet Power Commander w/AutotuneENGINE : Rotax 4-Tec 449ccFR/RR TRACK : 1256mm/1176mmFRAME : 4130 Chromoly Space FrameFUEL SYSTEM : Single Injector EFIFUEL TYPE : Gasoline/93 OctaneMATERIAL : ChromolyMPD : 9000MPT : 8000OLWH : 2677mm, 1461mm, 1209mmSUSPENSION :TIRE : 18x6-10 LCO - HoosierUNIQUE :WEIGHT : 550 lbsWHEELBASE : 1563mmBRAKE : Outboard floating ductile iron rotorsBSCD : 67.0 mm bore / 42.5 mm stroke / 4 cylinders /599.8 ccCOOLING : Single side pod-mounted aluminum radiatorwith fanDRIVE : Chain drive, ATB quaife differentialELECTRONICS : Performance Electronics ECUENGINE : 2011 Yamaha YZF-R6FR/RR TRACK : 1219 mm/1181 mm (47.99 in./46.50in.)FRAME : Tubular space frameFUEL SYSTEM : Electronic fuel injectionFUEL TYPE : 100 octane gasolineMATERIAL : 4130 steelMPD : 11000MPT : 8000OLWH : 2663 mm, 1408 mm, 930 mm (104.84 in., 55.43in., 36.61 in.)SUSPENSION : Double unequal length A-arm, pull rod(FR)/ push rod (RR)TIRE : Hoosier 20.5x7.0-13 R25BUNIQUE : Luxury wood grain finish dashboardWEIGHT : 285 kg (628 lb)WHEELBASE : 1676mm (65.98 in.)United StatesUnited Statespage 36 Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>

All components are tightly packed around a newly designed 4130chrome-moly space frame chassis that is powered by an Aprilia RXV 550 V-Twinengine. A double unequal length non-parallel A-arm suspension can befully adjusted to meet any track condition. New features for the <strong>2013</strong> model includea Rekluse auto clutch for better drivability and a lightweight Drexler limitedslip differential. The <strong>2013</strong> model car has gone through a complete redesign ofnearly every component. The result: A lightweight, quick, adjustable, andaffordable racecar.This is the second year the University of Saint Thomas is participating in Formula<strong>SAE</strong>. Last year the team was awarded Rookie Team of the Year and this year’steam is planning to impress the competition with this next vehicle. Overall goalsfor the vehicle were to reduce weight in all areas, make the overall footprint of thevehicle smaller and apply more design to all components.Our team has elected to continue developing our Honda engine package throughmore advanced tuning and custom intake, header, and oil pan. Our frame wassimplified and reduced in size to greatly reduce weight and increase overall appeal.Our suspension was dramatically changed to reduce unsprung weight andinduce anti-squat and anti-dive characteristics. It also allowed for much bettermounting and integration of other parts with decreased assembly difficulty.Great Thanks to our Sponsors!University of St. Thomas, Royal Purple, Minnesota Air, UBS/ Connelly Family, VR3Engineering, Remmele Engineering, Simspeed, NPC Robotics, Discount Steel,Valmont Coatings, Stratasys, Pioneer Metal Finishing, Ducati of Minneapolis, RaceSuit Rental, Dassault Systemes, Toro and Simply StreetbikesBRAKE : Willwood Racing, Dual Piston Calipers, Rotors:240mm Front; 220mm RearBSCD : 80mm/55mm/2/550ccCOOLING : Liquid Cooled, Dual Externally MountedRadiatorsDRIVE : RWD, Chain Driven, Drexler Clutch Type LSDELECTRONICS : Electronic Ignition, Individual Coils,Walbro ECUENGINE : 2006 Aprilia RXV 550FR/RR TRACK : 1219mm/1232mmFRAME : Tubular Space Frame, Fully TIG Welded.FUEL SYSTEM : Custom Aluminum Fuel Cell; External,High Pressure, Fuel PumpFUEL TYPE : 93 Octane Pump GasMATERIAL : 4130 Chromoly TubingMPD : 60HP (11,000rpm)MPT : 45ft-lbs (9,000rpm)OLWH : 2617mm/103in,1638mm/64.5in,946mm/37.25inSUSPENSION : Double, Unequal Length A-Arms, PushrodActivated Aluminum Bellcranks.TIRE : Hoosier 7x20.5, R-25B Racing SlicksUNIQUE : Rekluse Auto-ClutchWEIGHT : 595 lbWHEELBASE : 1549.4mm/61inBRAKE : Fixed Steel Disc, AP Racing Two Piston, 2ouboard front, single inboard rearBSCD : 67mm / 42.5mm / 4 cylinder / 599ccCOOLING : Dual side-mount radiators shrouded with160mm fansDRIVE : 520 Chain DriveELECTRONICS : Bazzaz Z-Fi ECUENGINE : 2006 Honda CBR600rrFR/RR TRACK : 1199 mm / 1136 mm (47.2 in. /44.7in.)FRAME : 4130 DOM Chromoly SteelFUEL SYSTEM : Fuel Injected, external fuel pump andregulatorFUEL TYPE : 93 OctaneMATERIAL : 4130 Steel, 1020 Steel, 6061 Aluminum,7050 Aluminum, FiberglassMPD : 10000 rpmMPT : 7000 rpmOLWH : 2805 mm long, 1391 mm wide, 1256 mm highSUSPENSION : Double unequal length pullrod front,pushrod rearTIRE : Hoosier 20.5 x 7 -13 R25BUNIQUE :WEIGHT : 525 lbs. / 675 lbs. w/ DriverWHEELBASE : 1676.4 mm / 66 in.United StatesInformation published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>United Statespage 37


57Univ of Illinois - ChicagoUIC Motorsportsof Cincinnati58UniversityBearcat MotorsportsThe design philosophy of our <strong>2013</strong> vehicle is one of simplicity, reliability and cost.All of the components of the F13 are bought or are simple enough that largescale production would still be cost effective. Our goal was to put all of theseparts together so that they would create a well-rounded, competitive vehicle thatcould be easily maintained and driven by an average racing consumer.Our vehicle will not be the lightest or most powerful car. However, with everypart we’ve carefully assembled, it will still compete with the top vehicles on andoff the track. Our design goals for the vehicle centered around designing a wellpackaged, easy to produce vehicle. It is a good stable platform that an averageweekend racer could easily maintain, race and compete with.The <strong>2013</strong> car from the University of Cincinnati is a cornerstone. Bearcat Motorsportshas a history of several successful years followed by learning years of therecent past. The 2012 team set a new design direction by changing car conceptfrom the 600cc engine, 13” wheel packaging to a 450cc, 10” wheel package. Aftera summer of testing and revisions, the <strong>2013</strong> design takes the lessons learnedand lays the foundation for a winning car concept the team will refine year afteryear. The car is a reliable test bed for instrumented testing and driver trainingcapable of directing a team with high yearly turnover into the future.To build a car to compete and continue developing of the program, our designgoals are:-Safety: Exceed minimum safety required per F<strong>SAE</strong> rules.-Reliability: Finish all events of competition, accumulate 2000 miles of tracktesting-Ease of Manufacture/ Maintenance: Tuning parameters easily adjusted andrepeatable-Efficiency of fuel, tires, and part count: Approximately 0.5 gallon fuel use inendurance-High acceleration capability: Expand driver’s friction circle to its limitsBRAKE : Fixed, opposing piston caliperBSCD : 60.0 mm bore / 42.5 mm stroke / 4 cylinder(s)/ 599 ccCOOLING : Side mounted, aluminum radiatorDRIVE : Chain with Drexler Student Formula <strong>SAE</strong>ELECTRONICS : AEM EMS4ENGINE : Honda F4iFR/RR TRACK : 1295 / 1270 mmFRAME : 4130 tubular steelFUEL SYSTEM : Sequential fuel injectionFUEL TYPE : 93 octaneMATERIAL : FiberglassMPD : 10,500MPT : 9,500OLWH : 2758mm long, 1500mm wide, 1061mm highSUSPENSION : Double unequal length A-Arm.

61University of TorontoToronto63Cooper UnionCooper MotorsportsThe University of Toronto presents UT13 for the <strong>2013</strong> Formula <strong>SAE</strong> Michigancompetition.The past 16 years of experience have come together to bring UT13 – a vehicledefined by design for manufacture methods. This mentality provided distinctlynew design features for the <strong>2013</strong> vehicle. Features such as a single rear brakeand pocketed a-arms have served to drastically decrease our manufacturing timewithout sacrifice for reliable high performance. This is our second installment ofthe 10” wheel vehicle powered by the Honda TRX450 single cylinder engine. Thechassis has been lengthened by 2 inches and the driver been angled back toincrease driver comfort. The efficient packaging of all components over a 23kgchassis allows us to achieve Toronto’s highest stiffness to weight ratio. The resultis a lightweight, drivable and simple vehicle.Cooper Motorsports’ F13 is the fifth F<strong>SAE</strong> vehicle produced at The Cooper Union.This year’s vehicle is a culmination and an evolution of past year’s vehicles, showcasingpractical, low-cost, adaptable solutions with awareness to vehicle systemsintegration rather than precise optimization of individual systems. The overall vehicledesign is consistent throughout in order to ensure practical integration. Thevehicle’s chassis systems’ design is focused on low-cost, low-weight fabricationwhile the engine systems’ design focuses on maintained reliability and ease ofserviceability. The result is a practical, coherent design with a power/weight ratioof roughly 250bhp/ton and a consistent owner experience in terms of driveability,ergonomics, and maintenance.The <strong>2013</strong> team is brand new, consisting solely of undergraduates and only 3members who have previously participated in F<strong>SAE</strong>.

State University64LouisianaTigerRacing65Rensselaer Polytechnic InstituteRensselaer MotorsportLSU’s over-arching goals for this year are to implement a more sustainable hierarchy,which includes restructuring team organization, as well as building a basedesign for future generations of the club. Contrary to previous years, the teamwas part of a Senior Design course that required the entire engineering process tofall in a timeline that followed the curriculum. This constricted testing time as wellas motivation for some members. This year, the TigerRacing club is fueled solelyby volunteers desired to compete, as opposed to just trying to receive coursecredit. Additionally, the team has transitioned from being predominately seniors toa team of only four seniors and over fifteen underclass students. This falls in linewith the ideology that the LSU TigerRacing team has implemented with its newmanagement style.Overall, the design of the <strong>2013</strong> car has combined the work of the 2011 and 2012TigerRacing cars while re-designing key areas that required better performance.Crucial redesign decisions include the intake system, the chassis, and thedrivetrain. Components that were inspired by past designs include the suspensionsystem, the exhaust system, and ergonomics.Rensselaer Motorsport is building its 20th car this year, RM20. This car representsa large step forward in the optimization of RPI’s hybrid chassis cars.Technical advancements include a stiffened space frame-composite hybridchassis with more structural panels. Our suspension now utilizes CNC machineduprights and carbon fiber tubes in the A-arms. Custom machined calipers andfloating discs provide enough stopping power to suit even the most aggressivepilot. RM20 will be powered by a Honda CBR600F4i, breathing through a rapidprototypedplastic intake and custom stainless steel headers. The engine wasresonance tuned for maximum drivability, predictable power delivery, and heartstoppingracecar sound. Power is delivered to the wheels through a custom CNCcam and pawl differential. Pneumatic shifting, a custom launch control system,and a suede steering wheel complete car-driver interaction.

66South Dakota School of Mines & TechnologyFormula Hardrocker Racing67Carnegie Mellon UniversityCarnegie Mellon RacingFormula Hardrocker Racings has developed it’s <strong>2013</strong> entry, affectionately knownas Chandra, with a design philosophy focused on performance, reliability, andinnovation.Several iterative designs will ensure that reliability is gained without a sacrifice inthe cars proven speed.Key aspects of this years car include; fully unsuspended aerodynamics, carbonfiber A-Arms, LDT uprights, and Cold-Spray Metal Matrix Composite brake rotors.Carnegie Mellon Racing 67 represents an iterative improvement over CMR 57,with increased attention given to rapid manufacture, driver ergonomics, and dataacquisition. Based upon team results in year’s past, CMR has identified early andrigorous testing of our vehicle to be the single most productive route to increasepoints scored at Competition. This has made compressing our manufacturingtimeline a design priority in order to increase testing time, reliability, data gathering,vehicle setup, and driver confidence.Accordingly, systems which were resource intensive to produce and maintain,detrimental to driver performance, or unsuitable for future improvement wereredesigned. Systems which performed well on CMR 57 were further optimized toreduce mass in order to meet a 10% overall weight reduction goal.We have also restructured the team to enable a more streamlined approach todesign and manufacture through improved member role specificity and continuousdevelopment. With this new organization an individual’s task is always welldefined on an advanced schedule, allowing improved and efficient focus onoptimization, new technology development, and driver training.BRAKE : Aluminum Metal Matrix Composite FloatingRotors, AP Racing calipersBSCD : 80mm / 55mm / 2 / 550ccCOOLING : Single Carriage Mounted AL Radiator with8" fanDRIVE : 520 Chain DriveELECTRONICS : Pectel SQ6, LiFePO4 BatteryENGINE : Aprilia SXV 5.5FR/RR TRACK : (1219/48) / (1118/44)FRAME : 4130 Tubular Space FrameFUEL SYSTEM : Electronic Port Fuel InjectionFUEL TYPE : E-85MATERIAL : Titanium, Aluminum, Steel, Carbon Fiber,Nylon 6/6MPD : 8500rpmMPT : 5700rpmOLWH : 3112/122.5, 1385/54.5, 1098/43SUSPENSION : Unequal length A-Arm.

of Windsor78UniversityLancer Motorsports79Auburn UniversityWar Eagle MotorsportsIn <strong>2013</strong> Lancer Motorsports focused on optimizing and simplifying many keyfeatures of the car. The main goals during the design and build were to reducecomponent weights, enhance driver support systems, improve system integrationand allow for quicker and easier adjustments.With the addition of square tubes into the tubular chassis and custom tabs,suspension components can be easily adjusted for variations in both camber andcaster. The improved power of the DTA S80 ECU allows for development of a 4wheel traction control system as well as launch control. The power developedfrom our Honda CBR600RR engine, custom intake and custom exhaust has beentuned for a flatter torque curve and improved throttle response. With adjustablehead rest, brake pedal and innovative 4 bar link throttle pedal, the car can fit awide variety of driver sizes. A reduced size impact attenuator allows for greaterbody design freedom while maintaining energy absorption characteristics. Sectionedbody panels allow for quick and easy access to various areas of the vehicleand reduce body manufacturing complexity.AU-<strong>2013</strong> utilizes a hybrid monocoque and steel rear sub-frame construction toproduce a light-weight and user friendly racing machine. The car is powered bya 600 cc Yamaha R6, and utilizes active intake runners to create a smooth anddrive-able power curve.

84Cornell UniversityCornell Formula <strong>SAE</strong> Racing85National University of SingaporeNUS F<strong>SAE</strong>Cornell Racing’s entry to the <strong>2013</strong> Formula <strong>SAE</strong> Michigan competition is theARG13 prototype. Born as an evolutionary model, ARG13 features dramaticimprovements over and refinements of the ARG12 prototype. In an attempt tomaintain its power advantage while decreasing weight and improving its drivabilityand performance, Cornell Racing has opted for a full monocoque chassis alongwith a completely redesigned suspension system. At the heart of ARG13’s enginepackage is a turbocharged Honda CBR600RR controlled by a MoTeC M400 ECMin conjunction with a dry sump lubrication system and active boost control. Goingfurther, the newly designed suspension system will again be centered on 10-inchwheels, allowing for reduced unsprung and overall mass. ARG13’s one piece, fullcarbon fiber monocoque ties these systems together while offering significantweight reduction and increased stiffness. Lastly, using other advancements suchas a Drexler 2-way adjustable differential, blade-type adjustable anti-roll, andcustom turbine housing, Cornell Racing aims to regain its Championship title atFormula <strong>SAE</strong> Michigan <strong>2013</strong>.BRAKE : Floating, cast iron rotors (F/R) with 2-pistoncalipers (F/R)BSCD : 67mm/42.5mm/4cyl/599ccCOOLING : Monocoque mounted radiator with thermostaticallycontrolled fanDRIVE : ChainELECTRONICS : MoTeC M400 & ADL3ENGINE : Honda CBR600RRFR/RR TRACK : 1207mm/1194mmFRAME : Carbon Fiber MonocoqueFUEL SYSTEM : Sequential port injection controlled byMoTeC M400 with 3D mapFUEL TYPE : E85MATERIAL :MPD : 7500MPT : 6000OLWH : 2565mm/1372mm/1130mmSUSPENSION : Double unequal-length A-Arms, pushrodactuated spring/damper, adj. anti-rollTIRE : 18.0 X 6.0-10 R25B HoosierUNIQUE : Seamless, single piece monocoque, customturbine housingWEIGHT : 565WHEELBASE : 1651mmFor our <strong>2013</strong> NUS F<strong>SAE</strong> Race Car, NUS-R13, the following primary design goalswere set up.1) Ergonomics2) Throttle response3) Cornering response4) Reduce downtimeIn order to achieve these goals, specific importance was placed on tuning theengine, lightening parts as well as extensive testing with physical verification ofsimulations and analysis.The design of NUS-R13 focuses on improving transient response as well as givingthe driver a stable and predictable car to achieve better performance. The V-twinAprilia SXV550 engine is tuned for smoother power delivery to provide predictablethrottle response for the driver. Due to generally lower peak torques in V-twin enginesas compared to in-line 4 cylinder engines, lightening of all components on the carwas done (a total of 12.5kg) to increase the car’s power to weight ratio. Extensivecomputer simulation and analysis were conducted to improve various aspects of thecar, and physical verifications are used to validate the simulation. With that, designscan be further refined to achieve better performance and weight savings.BRAKE : Gray cast iron rotor, AP Racing 2 piston caliperBSCD : 80.0 mm / 55.0 mm / 2 cylinders / 553 ccCOOLING : Electric water pump, dual-pass radiator withelectric fanDRIVE : #520 chain and sprocketELECTRONICS : MoTeC M800 ECUENGINE : Aprilia SXV 550FR/RR TRACK : 1150 mm / 1120 mmFRAME : 4130 steel spaceframe with CFRP-PVC foamshear panelsFUEL SYSTEM : Custom aluminium fuel tank, inline pump,EFIFUEL TYPE : 93 OctaneMATERIAL : Steel, aluminium, CFRPMPD : 9500MPT : 7000OLWH : 2792 mm / 1302 mm / 1164 mmSUSPENSION : Double unequal length A-arm, pushrodactuated spring and damper, U-type ARBTIRE : 18.0 x 6.0 - 10 R25B HoosierUNIQUE : Electro-pneumatic clutch and gear actuationWEIGHT : 236 kgWHEELBASE : 1555 mmUnited StatesInformation published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>Singaporepage 51

University88VillanovaNova RacingState University - Tempe90ArizonaFormula Sun DevilsVillanova University’s <strong>2013</strong> entry into the Formula <strong>SAE</strong> Competition (hereafterreferred to as VU05) represents the team’s fifth year in the competition. Whilelast year’s car, VU04, was a huge success for the team (our first full redesign aswell our first year using the Yamaha YZF-R6 engine and Drexler Differential, andcompleting all events in the competition), VU05 is a big step forward for the team.With VU05 we were at a point where we could start testing, refining and tuningsystems on the car, rather than fully redesigning them. Some highlights include aframe that is 15% lighter and 21% torsionally stiffer, an overall weight cut of 20lbs, a redesigned wheel assembly, a new paddle-actuated CO2 shift system andcomputer, and a new data acquisition system.The goal for our team was to design a 4-cylinder, space frame formula car with afocus on lightness and handling performance while taking advantage of manufacturingfacilities available to us. Though lightness was sought after in our designs,stiffness took priority in suspension, chassis and braking system components. Thedouble wishbone suspension was designed using Matlab post processing withroll center migration as the parameter to be optimized. The suspension is housedin a sheet metal structure integrated in the chassis. The uprights are made from4130 sheet metal to minimize weight and optimize stiffness. The wheel centerswere also designed and manufactured in house using Nastran to prove the designand ensure weight minimization. The differential internals are an unmodified T-1Torsen with a custom designed differential that minimizes weight and axle angle.Our powertrain is a Honda F4i controlled by a Megasquirt II and tuned in houseon a custom built dynamometer.

101Kettering UniversityKettering University102Northern Illinois UniversityNIU MotorsportsKettering University has a very rich history in the automotive industry being that itwas originally General Motors Institute. This history helps create a clear path to agoal of a successful racecar by simply going off of the core values that our teamstands for. These values are ingenuity, being cost savvy, doing the appropriateamount of research, and an endless pursuit of going fast. <strong>2013</strong> is a year thatencapsulates these goals more than previous years in the careful crafting ofdesigns, components, and calibrations. Our use of exotic materials has decreaseddrastically over the previous season’s in addition to all materials in general beingused more efficiently. This is part of our design renaissance that will yield majorchanges going forward. As Charles Kettering said, “If you have always done it thatway, it is probably wrong” and here at Kettering University, we take that conceptseriously.We would also like to sincerely thank all of our sponsors for their commitment toour <strong>2013</strong> season!The NIU13 vehicle was designed with simplicity in mind. While the car is readyto compete when it leaves the shop, it grows with the driver by incorporating theability to easily make optional adjustments to various features of the vehicle. Thislong-term value provides incentive above and beyond the already competitivepower numbers that our simulation, design, and testing have yielded. Buildingupon developments made last year, we were able to find a reasonable compromisebetween weight transfer and yaw inertia to create a stable and responsivecar in a lighter and stronger package. Suspension compliance was mitigated witha stiff chassis designed to provide high strength and serviceability to the rest ofthe vehicle, as well as improved driver safety from side impacts. The compositematerials in the seat and body provide lightweight protection of various vehiclecomponents, and reduce driver fatigue. Through rigorous tuning and simulation, acompact, lightweight powertrain system is chosen to maintain competitive powerand reliability. Overall, each component of the NIU13 vehicle is designed for maximizingthe power output through the simplest, most efficient method.BRAKE : ISR Calipers, AP Master Cylinders, Floating SteelRotorsBSCD : 95mm / 62.4mm / 1 cyl / 450ccCOOLING :DRIVE : Large Mechanical GearsELECTRONICS :ENGINE : Yamaha WR450fFR/RR TRACK : Front: 1240mm/48.8in Rear:1198mm/46.8inFRAME : American SteelFUEL SYSTEM : Returnless relatively-low-pressure EFIFUEL TYPE : E85MATERIAL :MPD :MPT : 155 N-ft @ 7000 RPMOLWH : L:2273/89.5 W:1346/53 H:1113/43.8SUSPENSION :TIRE : 13" Hoosier R25BUNIQUE : Suspension designed for Michigan roadsWEIGHT :WHEELBASE : 1524/60BRAKE : Dual master cylinders, four calipersBSCD : 80mm bore / 55mm stroke / 2 cylinder / 550 ccCOOLING : Single radiatorDRIVE : Chain driveELECTRONICS : DTA ECUENGINE : Aprilia 550 V TwinFR/RR TRACK : 1169mm / 1143mmFRAME : 4130 Chromoly Steel Space FrameFUEL SYSTEM : Fuel InjectedFUEL TYPE : 93 OctaneMATERIAL : 3 ply fiberglassMPD : 7000MPT : 6750OLWH : 2800mm long, 1321mm wide, 1064mm highSUSPENSION : Direct ActuationTIRE : 20.5x6-13 R25BUNIQUE : MyChron 3 DashWEIGHT : 550 lbsWHEELBASE : 63.5 inchesUnited StatesInformation published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>United Statespage 57


103University of FloridaGator Motorsports104Stevens Institute of TechnologyStevens F<strong>SAE</strong>University of Florida’s <strong>2013</strong> vehicle was designed to build on the success of 2012and push Gator Motorsports to a top ten finish.Goals for the <strong>2013</strong> package were established early on using careful analysisof 2012 vehicle data along with OptimumLap and ChassisSim vehicle simulationprograms to identify weak areas of the 2012 package. These goals includeimproved amateur driveability, fuel economy, and transient dynamic performance.An evolution of the 2012 vehicle, significant design changes for the <strong>2013</strong> seasoninclude a switch to pull-rod actuated suspension, improved exhaust header, modifiedengine tuning and the incorporation of a Bosch ABS unit providing anti-lockbraking and stability control.Combined with a long-standing program emphasis on reliability, serviceability,ergonomics, and the blood, sweat, and tears of our core team members, theUniversity of Florida’s <strong>2013</strong> vehicle will be a strong contender at Formula <strong>SAE</strong>Michigan.In remembrance of Khalil Mohmed.The team built upon the foundation laid by the previous year’s car. Major changeswere minimized and a true evolution of the car was designed. The main adjustmentthat the team made was to reduce the size of the chassis to create a lighterand more efficient profile. The suspension design was kept the same, but optimizedfor a new geometry. Also, the engine system has retained its turbochargerwith the intake and exhaust system now tuned to get the most from this system.In conjunction with these adjustments the team has turned to a standalone ECUsystem to ensure the electronics are in tune with the turbo. New for this year isan aero package consisting of a front wing, under tray, and rear wing. We viewthis package as a building block for the future and a strong addition to this year’scar.

105University of North Carolina - Charlotte49ers106University of WaterlooUniversity of Waterloo Formula MotorsportsFor the <strong>2013</strong> F<strong>SAE</strong> Michigan competition, UNC Charlotte has designed andmanufactured an advanced F<strong>SAE</strong> car that improves upon previous team designs.The UNC Charlotte F<strong>SAE</strong> team consists of 15 mechanical engineering studentswho are divided into three groups: chassis, engine, and body.After extensive testing of the school’s previous F<strong>SAE</strong> car, the chassis team begandesigning the suspension for the <strong>2013</strong> car. Several design advancements of the<strong>2013</strong> F<strong>SAE</strong> car include a structural carbon fiber floor, improved turning radius,higher suspension motion ratios, and a highly adjustable suspension system. Inorder to compare optimal theoretical settings with dynamically tuned setups, advantageousat-track adjustments were incorporated such as adjustable roll centerheights without introducing unwanted kinematic variables.Continuing from previous cars, University of Waterloo Formula Motorsports hasbuilt a four cylinder engine, steel tube frame, 13 [in] wheel car for <strong>2013</strong>. Thisyear’s design was driven by the results of a lap-time simulation; an aerodynamicspackage was added to the car as the lap-time simulation indicated a significantbenefit from downforce. In addition to developing the aero package, ergonomicswere a major focus with significant research and testing invested in determining agood driver position, adjustment and control strategy, as well as developing a carwith predictable handling and engine behavior. The importance of vehicle testingon performance and reliability was paramount so projects and timelines werescoped to ensure that adequate testing time would be allowed. The end result is avehicle that satisfies the goals of driver-centricity, reliability and performance.The engine team has implemented a KTM 500 EXC powerplant which will beelectronically-controlled using Motec. The body team designed and manufactureda new carbon fiber body that incorporates a three-piece main shell with integratedside-pods and under-body. CFD flow simulation was also performed on the aeropackage to analyze and optimize the overall design.BRAKE : 4-wheel outboard brakesBSCD : 3.74 in (95 mm) / 2.84 in (72 mm) / 1 cyl / 31.15cu in (510 cc)COOLING : Water-cooled, side-mounted radiatorDRIVE : Chain-drive, Drexler limited-slip differentialELECTRONICS : Motec M400 ECUENGINE : <strong>2013</strong> KTM 500 EXCFR/RR TRACK : 47.4 in (1204 mm) / 46.4 in (1179 mm)FRAME : 4130 Chromoly tubular spaceframeFUEL SYSTEM : Motec-controlled EFIFUEL TYPE : 93 octane gasolineMATERIAL : 4130 Chromoly, carbon fiberMPD : 8800 rpmMPT : 7600 rpmOLWH : 100.8 in (2561 mm), 55.9 in (1420 mm), 43.8 in(1112 mm)SUSPENSION : Double unequal length A-arm, pull/pushrod actuated spring and damperTIRE : 20 x 7.5 - 13 Hoosier R25BUNIQUE : Carbon fiber body and floor, electronic shiftingWEIGHT : 550 lb (249.5 kg)WHEELBASE : 61 in (1549 mm)BRAKE : Floating cast-iron rotors, 240mm OD, 4mm thkF&R.

119Lawrence Technological UniversityBlue Devil Motorsports120Rose Hulman Institute of TechnologyRose GPEThis year we will be using the Aprila 450 engine, to best utilize both power andweight.The steering rack unit uses an aluminum gear housing and end-mounts with acarbon fiber float tube and rack. The carbon fiber rack has a machined steel gearsetbonded to it which reacts with a steel pinion gear.We utilized Optimum G Vehicle Dynamics Solutions software for our suspension,while using KAZ Technologies 7800 Double Adjustable Shocks.The areo package will include a full carbon fiber body and diffuser; which will bea first for LTU.The RGP-003 is the third offering from Rose Grand Prix Engineering and we feelthat it is our best. A focus on losing weight while ensuring robustness has led toa car that we feel will take the team to a new level of success. Major weight losshas occurred in the drivetrain, with a lightweight differential, new hub design, andmany other changes, our drivetrain weight is almost half of last year’s car.The car has also major improvements in engine design, body work construction,electrical system routing, and aerodynamic developments.The team would like to thank all of the people who worked to make this possible,all of our sponsors, the Rose Advanced Transportation Systems Program, and allof the students and faculty associated with the team.BRAKE : BremboBSCD : 450COOLING : WaterDRIVE : ChainELECTRONICS :ENGINE : Aprila 450FR/RR TRACK : front track is set at 48in with the reartrack at 47.5inFRAME : 4140 Chrome Moly SteelFUEL SYSTEM : Kinsler Fuel SystemFUEL TYPE : 97 OctaneMATERIAL :MPD : 54.3 Horsepower @ 11,000 RPMMPT : 34.52 ft-lb Torque @ 8,800 RPMOLWH :SUSPENSION : KAZ Technologies 7800 Double AdjustableShocksTIRE : 20.5x6.0-13 R25B tires for the front and20.5x7.0-13 R25B tires for the rearUNIQUE : Diffuser and carbon fiber air intakeWEIGHT : 555WHEELBASE : 63inBRAKE : Custom using Tilton 77 Series Master CylindersBSCD : 67mm Bore 42.5 mm Stroke 4 Cylinder, 599ccCOOLING : ATV Radiator in sidepodDRIVE : Honda Gearbox to Drexler DifferentialELECTRONICS : MegasquirtENGINE : Honda CBR 600 F4iFR/RR TRACK : 51 in Front, 49 in RearFRAME : 4130 Alloy Steel SpaceframeFUEL SYSTEM : Custom Tank, Walbro pumpFUEL TYPE : 93 OctaneMATERIAL : 4130 and 1020 SteelMPD : 100+ BHP at 12,000 rpmMPT : 45+ Ft-lb at 9,000 rpmOLWH : 3100mm long, 1350mm wide, 1308mm highSUSPENSION : Dual unequal length A-arm, pull rod front,push rod rearTIRE : 20.5x7.00 -13 Hoosier R25BUNIQUE : Boxed steel uprightsWEIGHT : 610 lbsWHEELBASE : 66 inchesUnited StatesUnited Statespage 64 Information published as supplied by teams on or before April 10, <strong>2013</strong>


121RWTH Aachen Tech UniversityEcurie Aix122Seoul National University of Science & TechMIP-Seoultech RacingOur vision of the eac09 was that it should be a true “driver´s car” which wouldprovide reliable top-performance for the hobby weekend-racer. Following thisgoal, three main aspects were set into focus for its development: agile driveability,safety, as well as reliability.Consequently, all subsystems were designed and produced according to thoseprinciples: the eac09 features a powerful four cylinder engine, a well though-outand yet “simple” carbon double A-arm suspension that pairs best possible frictionwith reliability, as well as a CFRP full monocoque that combines high stiffnessand safety with low weight. All along, we payed close attention to ergonomicsregarding both the physical human-car interaction (examples are the adjustablepedal box or variable ratio-steering) as well as the psychological human-computerinteraction (namely the intuitive driver-interface with only one central incrementalencoder for change of settings) in order to ensure that the driver can concentrateon one thing while he´s on the track – driving fast!MIP-Seoultech racing (Make Impossible Possible) participate in Formula-250 andBaja, and Electric Vehicle competition and is making a good record. Held in South-Korea. In 2011, we was awarded the Best Engineering Awards in K<strong>SAE</strong> StudentFormula. The Best Engineering Award (Grand Prix) At that time, we decided tochallenge the F<strong>SAE</strong>, because we are proof that can be a good vehicle even if lowcost manufacturing and we was very confident.Before the design of the new F<strong>SAE</strong>car, the concept of the car has been settled. “Best cornering”. To accomplish this,the vehicle should provide high torque to help exiting the corner, lightweight chassisand powertrain and the proper use of the aerodynamics. The specific designgoals are listed below• High Torque: Affordable one cylinder engine• Weight Reduction: Under 200kg• Aero dynamics: Downforce over 400N• Cornering: Lateral Force 1.4GAnd the last thing is ‘Low cost’. Because low-cost is expected to contribute tothe popularization of South-Korea motorsports market. So, the ninth-Formula andfirst-Fsae machine of MIP “MF-9s_KKUM” was designed.

123University of Minnesota-DuluthUniversity of Minnesota Duluth124Universidad Autonoma Estado MexicoUAEMEX RACING TEAMWe took the <strong>guide</strong>lines given to us by the F<strong>SAE</strong> and some previous knowledge tohit the ground running. The scenario of the competition is to sell this car to a potentialManufacturing company who then would turn and sell our design to the endconsumer or race enthusiast. The team recognized that the race enthusiast shouldhave the highest consideration when developing every aspect of our car. Weemphasized three key areas in every portion of our design to ensure creation ofa product that would have value for Manufacturers as well as the end consumer.With the consumer always in mind and driving our efforts, we focused on:-Low Manufacturing Cost,-Outstanding Vehicular Performance,-Exceeding Functional Needs of ConsumerThe UAEMex RACING TEAM has competed in the Formula <strong>SAE</strong> series since2006, this is the fifth team competition. This new vehicle design was focused onReliability and Serviceability thinking on a competitive market product, makinga balance between cost, manufacture and people preferences in order to createreal engineering problems that can teach to the students to apply the knowledgeacquired.

The car was created, not only with the technicalrules in mind, but with the intent of creating a business friendly car that would beeasy to manufacture and remain affordable to the everyday autocrosser.At the heart of this year’s car lies a Yamaha YFZ450R single-cylinder ATV engine.The power supplied by this engine will propel the car to a maximum vehicle speedof 116 kph. The engine would be nothing without a frame to propel. This year’sframe is a tubular space frame made out of 4130 steel of the round and squarevarieties. TENA was designed to float like a butterfly on a double unequal lengthA-Arm suspension attached to both, the front and the rear. TENA also relies uponfour 18x6-10 R25B Hoosier tires to lay the power down to the asphalt as sherounds corners and flies down straightaways.Manufacturer-purchased parts aside, all other aspects of TENA were handcraftedand machined with the utmost attention to detail by the members of the OkstateRacing Team.BRAKE : Dual Wilwood, 19mm (rear) 15.9mm (front)bore w/ bias barBSCD : 95mm bore / 63.4mm stroke / 1 cylinder /450ccCOOLING : Side mounted radiator with thermostaticallycontrolled fanDRIVE : 0-ring chain / sprocket drivenELECTRONICS : PE3 Performance Electronics ECUENGINE : Yamaha YFZ450RFR/RR TRACK : 1295mm / 1245mmFRAME : Tubular Spaceframe (square and round tube)FUEL SYSTEM : Yamaha fuel injectionFUEL TYPE : 91 octaneMATERIAL : 4130 steel tubing .625” to 1.0” dia.MPD : 8300 RPMMPT : 7900 RPMOLWH : 2412mm long, 1414mm wide, 1308mm highSUSPENSION : double unequal length A-arm.
