Mesa Motorsports will compete for the second time at the 2016 Formula SAE<br />
competition in Michigan. Developing our second car, based on our 2015 Design<br />
Review critique, had lead to many substantial improvements. This year’s focus<br />
is to participate in our first dynamic events, and to gain the practical knowledge<br />
needed to design a faster, lighter, and more efficient car for years to come.<br />
Car 91 marks the 25th vehicle produced by GT Motorsports since the team’s<br />
founding in 1987. We strive to produce consumer oriented vehicles that are fast,<br />
comfortable, reliable, and affordable. GT Motorsports takes the vision of Formula<br />
SAE to heart; our cars are 100% student designed, and our team members<br />
manufacture over 90% of our components in house. Each new car is built from<br />
the ground-up every year; no parts are recycled from previous years.<br />
This year’s design places a heavy emphasis on aerodynamic performance while<br />
maintaining a lightweight and robust overall package. Car 91’s chassis features a<br />
stressed engine and structural composite panels, which allow for a 20% reduction<br />
in weight while nearly doubling the torsional stiffness.<br />
GT Motorsports would like to thank the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical<br />
Engineering and the Student Government Association for their continual support,<br />
as well as all of our other sponsors and contributors featured at gtms.gatech.edu/<br />
