Automotive 10 | Formula Student Austria | Spielberg 2017
FOrMuLA StuDent Scope and Martin History MAtZer „The Formula SAE ® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate, develop and compete with small, formula style, vehicles.“ Formula SAe rule A1.1: Competition Objective the roots of formula student lie in 1970s texas, as a variant to the already existing Mini Baja (competition for lawnmower-powered offroad vehicles). the idea resonated well and after a few establishing years, Formula SAe was introduced as a design competition with a very open ruleset and also much more "race" appeal since the cars were allowed to have engines with siginficant power comapred to the spec‘d single cylinders in Baja. the event quickly picked up momentum, and in 1998 it made the jump over the big pond when Formula Student uK was the first non-uS competition to be held. Soon other followed and today there are eight official competitions all over the World: • Formula SAe Michigan • Formula SAe Lincoln • Formula SAe Australasia • Formula Student Austria • Formula SAe Brazil • Formula Student Germany • Formula SAe Italy • Formula Student (uK) Formula Student Austria was founded in 2009 by alumni of both uAS and tu Graz. the european Formula Student Scene has been growing rapidly since around 2007 and there was not only room but need for another competition besides uK, Germany and Italy. the reception of the event was quite good, so over the years it grew to its present size of 42 participants, also necessitating the move from the Wachauring in Melk to the red Bull ring in Spielberg. Also, it was one of the first events to allow the 2010-introduced Formula student vehicles to compete, for some years even against each other. Starting 2016, however, this was dropped and replaced by a split scoring with two classes (Combustion/electric) due to the big development advances seen in electric vehicles, making them all but impossible to beat in some aspects. So what is it all about? Formula Student is an engineering Design competition that should teach engineering students some real-world skills relevant to the automotive and other industries. to sucessfully compete, a team has to delve into research, design, manufacturing, testing, developing, marketing, management and finances - this favors or even requires the formation of multi-disciplinary teams. this and the fact that Formula Student is as much a project management exercise as it is an engineering challenge, it teaches the competitors a valuable and industry-appreciated combination of soft- and hard skills. the vehicle itself is governed by a set of internationally agreed upon rules. the rules have grown pretty complex over the years (the rule book is now larger than the one for F1), so here are the defining characteristics: Vehicle: • Open-Wheel, Open-Cockpit, Formula-style body • four wheels • aerodynamic devices are limited in size C - powertrain: • 20mm Air restrictor (19mm for e85) • turbo/supercharging is allowed e-powertrain: • any number of motors and driven wheels • 80kw peak system power Spielberg 2017 | Formula Student Austria | 11
