The design of the 2016 car was based around the philosophy of prioritizing<br />
project management, understanding performance gains, and overall vehicle integration.<br />
Vehicle simulations were performed to evaluate various design concepts<br />
and these results were balanced against many other factors, such as cost and<br />
reliability, to select the final vehicle concept. The suspension system was designed<br />
to not only to efficiently utilize the tires but also to enhance serviceability and<br />
packaging in other areas of the car. New wing elements were used on the front<br />
wing and it was lowered to take advantage of ground effect to increase downforce<br />
generation. Additional engine tuning was performed to improve reliability and a<br />
variable length intake was developed to improve volumetric efficiency.<br />
The UT16 vehicle was designed to build upon the team’s success in 2015.<br />
Several sections were overhauled to improve performance. Emphasis was placed<br />
on weight reduction, driver comfort and increased downforce. The UT16 chassis<br />
features new carbon fibre sandwich panels which provi de a significant weight<br />
reduction while maintaining chassis stiffness. Adjustable pedals and seat provides<br />
comfort for a wide range of driver sizes. The suspension system features wider<br />
and lighter rims than the UT15 vehicle. A pullrod-style system was used to lower<br />
the vehicle centre of gravity and reduce yaw inertia. The exhaust system was<br />
completely redesigned to both address noise constraints in improve engine power.<br />
UT16 is also our first vehicle to feature an aerodynamics package. Despite the<br />
increased cost and labour, the team is confident that the aero package will make<br />
UT16 our quickest vehicle yet. Expanded data logging and a more comprehensive<br />
dash improve driver experience and vehicle testing capabilities. The University of<br />
Toronto Formula Racing Team would like to thank all the faculty, sponsors and<br />
supporters who helped make UT16 possible. We are eager to make you proud at<br />
