Ulaval Racing’s 2016 car’s philosophy is no different than it’s predecessors. As
Newton once said, we are “standing on the shoulders of giants”. We keep building
on our solid foundations and work on every single detail of the car while focusing
on our 5 main guidelines ; Easy manufacturing, driveability, low production cost,
reliability and lightweight.
Carbon fiber monocoque with a steel tube rear sub-frame. Carbon fiber is unidirectional
IM8\M91 prepreg, core is Nomex honeycomb. The engine is a KTM 525
with a Garrett FT1241 turbocharger. The differential is a Drexler. Chassis layup
and length is modified from last year with weight savings in mind. Multi-element
airfoils are used for the front and rear wings; a flat plate under-tray and diffuser
provide ground effects. The driver back position is 10° from the vertical, the main
hoop braces extend forward to simplify the rear sub-frame design, and to provide
an easier way for the driver to egress. Ball and socket front suspension points
are used to lower weight and reduce bending loads at the monocoque interface.
The suspension uses air springs for increased adjustability and handling. The
drivetrain is a chain driven Drexler differential with RCV hubs and axles to lower
weight. The transmission is actuated by a CO2 pneumatic system controlled by
buttons on the steering wheel.
