The National University of Singapore unveils its 2016 entry to the Formula SAE
Michigan Competition. After surpassing all expectations in the 2015 season, NUS
FSAE is itching to get back on the Michigan International Speedway with its latest
racing machine, the R16.
Power and stability out of every corner was the design mantra for the R16. Extensive
simulations with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to design
aerodynamic elements. Engine simulations and refinements to the intake and
exhaust systems were done to flatten the torque curve increase the horsepower
from the Honda CBR 600RR engine. An added focus on consolidating components
and creative packaging has resulted in NUS FSAE’s most compact engine bay.
The R16 has undergone 4 months of rigorous testing and fine tuning ensure reliability
and precision in performance.
The design of the 2016 University of Michigan-Dearborn Formula SAE car centered
around producing an easy-to-drive vehicle in a timely manner so as to allow
for extensive driver training, vehicle tuning, and design verification and validation.
The performance expectations are to place in the top ten in Formula SAE dynamic
events. This resulted in a vehicle system level design that focused on maximizing
available grip and downforce, while decreasing vehicle weight.
The team is grateful for all the support from the university, sponsors, family and
friends which has made this car a reality.
