The University of Pittsburgh’s PR-028 racecar was designed to be a competitive<br />
and reliable Formula SAE car in all events. To achieve this, each sub-team used<br />
various analysis methods to make decisions centered on improving performance,<br />
manufacturability, serviceability, and cost. Our design process produced a vehicle<br />
with the following main features: a steel tube chassis, 13” wheels, a Honda<br />
CBR600rr engine, a five speed transmission, paddle activated electro-pneumatic<br />
shifting, a manually actuated clutch behind the steering wheel, a complete MoTeC<br />
Electronics suite, and front and rear aerodynamics packages.<br />
