Gryphon RAcing
The UAEMex RACING TEAM has competed in the Formula SAE series since 2006,
this is the eigth team in competition. The vehicle design was focused on reliability
and serviceability thinking on a competitive market product, making a balance
between cost, manufacture and people preferences. Each year the team objective
is to create continues improvement gaining experience and transmit to future
generations important learned design aspects.
2016 has been an exciting year for Gryphon Racing. The year started off strong
with the largest number of members since the team’s creation in 2003. Many
new ideas are being incorporated and are resulting in Gryphon Racing’s most
improved car yet. For the first time ever we are producing a full carbon fiber aero
car. The intake, exhaust and shifting systems have all be completely redesigned
for optimal torque peaks. The Exhaust has changed from a 4-1 to an optimized
4-2-1 header set-up flowing into a fully customized carbon fiber muffler and the
intake has been redesigned and rotated 90° in order to incorporate the rear wing.
For the first time in many years, pneumatic paddle shifters are being used as
opposed to a manual shifter. As always, Gryphon Racing runs a 2011 GSX-R 600,
mounted longitudinally, allowing the elimination of a drive chain.
2016 has also been a sad year for Gryphon Racing. On March 3rd our team
captain, Eric, died suddenly in a vehicle accident, this year’s car is dedicated to
Eric’s love of racing.
