This year’s car UTR-22, was built around simplicity and reliability while also taking
on some new features. Utilizing tire consortium data as a starting point, UTR-22
features a rigid tubular chassis, CBR600 F4i, and Ohlins shocks backed up with
extensive durability testing. Serviceability and weight reduction were also considered
with every component designed. With a large amount of time dedicated to
testing and refining we hope to have an all-around reliable and fine-tuned car for
competition.
The design approach for the 2016 University of Windsor FSAE vehicle was that
of innovation and low weight. Transitioning from the 4-cylinder 600cc engine of
year’s past to a small, lightweight single cylinder has shaved pressure pounds
from the overall weight. This year’s suspension has seen a dramatic overhaul from
any previous formula car the
University of Windsor has ever designed. It utilizes a four link beam axle with a
single lower A-arm front suspension, and a similar DeDion axle rear suspension.
The beam axle configuration allows the packaging of 8 in wheels and SD44
American Racer tires. Although the beam suspension will be heavier per axle than
an independent setup, the use of 8 in wheels and accompanying tires removes
approximately 32 lbs overall. Not only is this weight savings unsprung, improving
suspension performance, but it will also reduce the rotating mass moment of
inertia of the wheels. The beam setup also allows for a lower centre of gravity and
zero camber change or scrub in pitch and roll motions. The new design strategy
should produce a reliable and competitive vehicle package.
