McGill Racing Team
The MRT17 combustion prototype will mark the McGill Racing Team’s 17th entry
into the FSAE series. The vehicle targets were based on a point mass lap time
simulation that allowed the team to assess the effect of vehicle parameters on
competition performance. As a result, the MRT17 features a CFRP monocoque
and full aerodynamics package (front, mid, and rear wings), and an E85-powered
naturally aspirated Rotax DS450 single cylinder engine. Alongside vehicle
development, the McGill Racing Team focused on the project goals of efficient
deadline management and increased traceability, allowing for a smooth season
and efficient transition for further years.
