PATRON FORMULA STUDENT 2014

CHAIRMAN FORMULA STUDENT 2014

I’m delighted to be continuing in my role as Patron of Formula Student, and have no doubt this year’s event will again showcase some of the best student engineering the world has to offer.

This year the competition celebrates its 16th birthday and looks set to be the biggest event in Formula Student history, with 3,000 students taking part.

The key to the event – the reason those who take part so often end up working in F1 and at the world’s leading engineering firms – is that it offers the practical experience which is so important in the professional world. During my career in Formula 1 we often employed people who had taken part in Formula Student. It is perhaps the best opportunity you’ll ever have to be truly innovative, to ‘think outside the box’ and come up with practical engineering solutions which may one day be used within the automotive industry. Good luck to everybody who is taking part this year. I hope that the many weeks of designing, planning and building, the inevitable frustrations and re-thinks prove to be worthwhile. While I sadly can’t make this year’s event, I will follow the competition closely. I do hope I’ll get to meet many of you in 12 months time.

We have a record 106 Class 1 teams and 29 Class 2 teams competing, from 33 countries. Among these will be 29 electric cars – a huge increase from last year. Additionally, there are 13 cars in Class 1 who are competing for the first time at Formula Student UK, as well as 12 cars in Class 2. It’s a great pleasure to welcome you to the home of British motorsport. I would like to say a special thank you to our partners Robert Bosch, Jaguar Land Rover, Shell, SAE, GKN, Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains – and all of our sponsors. As ever, we are extremely grateful for your support. Formula Student remains so highly respected within the engineering world because of the talent, ingenuity and sheer hard work of those taking part. As ever, I’m incredibly excited to see the innovative engineering on show this year. Good luck to all the teams taking part - I look forward to seeing you at Silverstone.

INTRODUCTION

WELCOME TO THE LARGEST STUDENT MOTORSPORT EVENT IN THE WORLD. Each year Formula Student (FS) challenges university students from around the world to design and build their own single-seat racing car, which is then put to the test at the famous Silverstone Circuit. University teams from multiple disciplines work together, developing creative solutions, building teamwork and communication skills, and learning how to deliver projects to budget and deadlines.

• At Silverstone, teams are judged by representatives from across industry sectors who scrutinise the cars inside and out, and judge cost, fuel economy, design and business viability

Formula Student is: • A high-performance engineering project • An unmatched demonstration of real-world engineering experience for employers and the motorsport industry • An intense, ten-month long project, teaching students teamwork, business skills and technical ability

This guide introduces the scoring (page 6), awards (page 8) and has full details on each car in the running in 2014 (from page 23).

FS has been run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers since 1998, and since then tens of thousands of competitors have come through the competition, with graduates now featuring in every Formula 1 team. With extra events like the Bosch Diesel Eco Challenge and the Big Bang, 2014 will be our biggest competition yet! WHAT WE DO Offering teams the opportunity to undertake real-life challenges and logistics, and develop the skills they’ll need when they go on to work in industry, FS’s key aims are to inspire the next generation about where they can go in engineering and address the skills shortage in the sector. THE CHALLENGE At the start of each academic year, students are given this challenge: “A manufacturing firm has asked you to develop a production prototype for a single-seat race car for autocross or sprint racing. The target customer for the final product is a non-professional racer, with high standards for performance and value for money.” WHERE WOULD YOU GO FROM HERE? • Except for defined safety standards, there are few restrictions on the overall design, to encourage innovation – in fuel, design, materials and engine • As the year goes on and the car is built, all the elements of the project must combine – and teams have to make important real-life choices about design, cost and sustainability • In July, teams come together for a weekend of testing, presentations and racing

EVENTS AND SCORING

TESTING TIMES As Formula Student aims to develop well-rounded engineers, each team is assessed not only on their car’s performance and their understanding of the engineering behind their design, but on their overall business proposal. This is done in a series of static and dynamic events. STATIC EVENTS Design 150 points Students must be able to explain how their car’s materials, components and systems come together and how their design meets the needs of the intended market. Business Presentation 75 points In this event, the judges play the role of the potential investors. Each team has to present a business case that sells their concept to them. Cost and Sustainability 100 points Here teams provide an accurate estimate of the cost of their car in a limited production. They should be able to show the judges where they’ve spent money and added value. They are also required to understand how much energy is required to produce their powertrain.

Endurance 300 points The biggest test for the teams is the 22km endurance race where cars have to prove their durability. There is also a mandatory stop, driver change and hot restart that really tests reliability and the team’s ability to efficiently make changes to driver variables, such as the pedal and seat positions. Fuel Efficiency 100 points Efficient design is about more than how the car looks. Customers will expect their car to be as green and fuel efficient as possible. Top electric cars should achieve 125 grams of CO2 per km during the endurance trial.

DYNAMIC EVENTS Before being allowed out on to the track to compete in any of the dynamic events, the teams must first pass technical and safety scrutineering, as well as the tilt, brake and noise tests. There are five dynamic events, all designed to test different aspects of the car’s performance – an important part of any team’s business case.

y enc100

Skid Pad 50 points In motorsport straight line speed isn’t everything so the skid pad lets teams show how well their car goes round corners. Cars need to have good lateral grip to complete a figure of eight in the quickest possible time. Acceleration 75 points This event focuses on the car’s powertrain performance and drivability as well as the suspension’s ability to provide maximum tyre grip. The measure of acceleration is the total time it takes to travel down Silverstone’s pit straight from a standing start.

CASE STUDIES

I was involved from 2005-2009 as part of the University of Manchester Formula Student team. I worked on various parts of the car during my time on the team including designing the chassis and suspension geometry, getting involved with bodywork, the engine and design reports and presentation events. I was promoted to Team Leader in my fourth and final year on the team. My fondest memory of Formula Student was when our 2009 car completed the endurance race. I can still remember how hard the team had worked (many sleepless nights!) and it was fantastic to see the car finish. It was a great feeling of achievement that I will never forget. Just being around so many keen Engineers made the event that much more exciting.

PUJA KAPOOR DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER AT ROLLS-ROYCE

The biggest challenge was the vast amount of work the team had to do in the short duration of time we had with limited experience, especially because Formula Student was completely extra-curricular at Manchester. The rule changes meant we had to start from pretty much a clean sheet in my final year on the team. Keeping motivated and thinking of what we wanted the car to look like in the end is what kept us all going and I loved every minute of it. The team were brilliant and we really helped each other out. I have an endless list of what I learnt from doing Formula Student. It provided me with the opportunity to design parts from scratch enhancing my engineering judgement, it helped me develop leadership and project management skills, it increased my confidence in presenting to a big group of people and gave me a fantastic insight of what it might be like to work in industry. Most of all it gave me the chance to do something I am truly passionate about - race cars and engineering. I am currently working for Rolls-Royce as a Development Engineer on the Trent 1000 project. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an interesting job and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be around so much innovation!

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE WAS THE VAST AMOUNT OF WORK THE TEAM HAD TO DO IN THE SHORT DURATION OF TIME WE HAD. 10

I actually took part in Formula Student four times between 2005 and 2009, with my roles including team manager, driver and technical director. Even though I’d competed in FS Class 1 in 2006 and 2007, I graduated and left the competition having never completed the endurance event at FS. With the opportunity of a postgraduate degree, I had a final chance to enter in 2009. My fondest memory was the relief and the congratulations from the team as I pulled up in the pits having completed the endurance test, which we actually placed first in, and becoming the first ever UK team to do so. My biggest challenge was the management of so many different people and characters, and trying to get them all to work together to achieve the same goal of a single car design. In one year it also required the hard decision to radically restructure the team and reduce the head count.

MIKE SEXTON MECHANICAL ANALYSIS ENGINEER AT BAE SYSTEMS

I learnt many things from FS, not least the broad technical knowledge that a practical engineering project like this could provide. A significant lesson was the importance of improvement and development - each FS entry I worked on showed progression in design and performance, and feedback received from the static events was always fed into the subsequent year’s work. I also learned the value of testing and validation partly because I realised that I often should have done more, and also because of the depth of understanding that you could further gain about a part or system, regardless of the fact that you may have spent the past week designing it non-stop. Even so, I left the competition knowing there was more I would do if I had the opportunity. That to me was one of the big attractions of FS. University degrees are all about building knowledge and understanding on a subject, and trying to develop you as a person. I would recommend doing FS because, as an engineer, I would never have had the chance to work on such a practical project which encompasses a huge variety of fields both in and away from engineering, and couldn’t have developed the skills I have today. I also got to meet Damon Hill!

I LEARNT MANY THINGS FROM FS, NOT LEAST THE BROAD TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE THAT A PRACTICAL ENGINEERING PROJECT LIKE THIS COULD PROVIDE.

My current role is based around the testing and analysis of products and systems, and I use many of the simulation techniques that I applied to my FS projects. I have also applied my experiences of prototyping and systems design to produce test rigs and product demonstrators. I have volunteered at FS every year since my final entry in 2009. I have also taken roles as a scrutineer and event captain on various dynamic events, and I hope to use my experience of participating to help maintain the high standards with which the event is run.

AustrAliA We are Edith Cowan University Racing from Perth, and this will be our first time competing outside of Australia. For our latest car we have made a large conceptual leap from previous cars with some key features being a custom 600cc in-line four cylinder engine with an integrated 2 speed gearbox and a gear driven final drive and spool, direct acting dampers, rear beam axle, single piece wheel/ hubs and a full monocoque chassis.

downforce aerodynamic package and 10 inch Hoosier tyres. The chassis is made using a cut and fold technique developed by the team and successfully executed since 2010. The carbon fibre skinned aluminium honeycomb panels are made flat and then CNC routed, folded and glued into shape. We would like to thank our friends, families and sponsors for helping us travel to and compete in the UK.

Monash UnivErsity

AustrAliA Monash Motorsport is based at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. The team has competed in FSAE since 2000 with a strong belief in the importance of early testing and a heavy focus on aerodynamics. Monash Motorsport uses a point simulator to justify all design decisions. The point simulator uses parameters such as grip coefficient, power and downforce to benchmark the capabilities of our concept against the competition. Our latest concept, the M13, is a competition proven, clean-sheet design. To increase the points scoring potential over our previous concepts, several changes have been made to the

car. The KTM 450 SX-F is now turbocharged for increased power output, while suspension redesign is driven by a change to 10” wheels and direct acting shock absorbers. The aerodynamic package has been redesigned around a drag reduction system, allowing for a much more aggressive approach. A pneumatically actuated shifter aims at reducing driver fatigue, driven by the team’s emphasis on ergonomics. Monash Motorsport’s development has been steady and in mid-2013 the team enjoyed the privilege of briefly becoming the number 1 ranked team in the world, emphasising the many years of hard work.

AustriA TUW-Racing was founded in 2007 and the EDGE MK1 was the first racing car of our young and motivated team. Every year we set our goals high to continue our innovative design and to stay competitive. We are, for example, the only team worldwide who successfully implemented a carbon fibre space frame in our EDGE 2 and EDGE 3 racer. All five previously built were motorised by a one cylinder KTM engine, which was also supercharged in some models. This year we will again compete against other universities at

Silverstone and Hockenheim, Spielberg and on the Czech Ring with more power than ever. Two self-developed motors will power the EDGE 6, our first electric racing car. With lightweight design of every component we were able to further decrease the weight of our car this year. Strict organisation of our team and project management are necessary to manage this complex and challenging project. Special thanks goes to our numerous sponsors – without them we wouldn’t be able to build such a high performance racing car year after year!

Belgium Formula Group T consists of 22 master students in Industrial Engineering Sciences at the University of Leuven, Campus Group T, Belgium. This will be our third car, called ‘June’ and several improvements have been made to increase the performance, handling and efficiency. In comparison to last year, we have achieved 20% in weight reduction. June will have the first monocoque we have ever built, which is the first Belgian monocoque as well. The pedals are adjustable and also the 3D printed steering wheel, with integrated ‘pedals’, will giving more comfort to the driver.

The brakes, uprights and wheel hubs are designed to be as light as possible, just like the planetary gearboxes, which weigh 75% less than last year. The battery boxes are attached to the side of the car to lower the point of gravity and to make some space for a more reclined driving position. Together with the diffuser, which is our first aero pack, it will improve handling and thus performance. Events that we’re taking part in this year: FSUK, FSGermany and FSSpain.

CAnAdA The 2014 Dalhousie Formula SAE team is competing in FSUK for the second consecutive year. After some engine issues that prevented the team from competing in any dynamics events last year, Dalhousie Formula SAE is returning with a goal to be one of the top competitors in 2014. Emphasis has been placed on the reliability of the 2014 car to ensure full completion of all dynamic events. Crucial steps have also been taken to bring the team up to the next level, including an improved teamwide focus on cost and weight reduction. In addition, issues from the 2013 vehicle were resolved.

Dalhousie Formula SAE is ready with their next generation vehicle. Design goals for the 2014 vehicle are reliability, weight reduction, lowered centre of gravity and cost reduction. One key improvement this year is a complete frame redesign eliminating redundant parts and optimising the suspension system. In addition, a custom fourspeed gearbox is used to maximise performance on the autocross course. Dalhousie Formula SAE would like to thank all of its sponsors who make it possible to do what we do!

FinlAnd For 2014 we are introducing our 7th car - a refined version of our FS013 racecar, featuring the same Aprilia V2 550cc engine, body and slightly modified chassis. This year we have made our first aeropackage on the car, aiming to increase our corner speeds. The focus of this car are the wings, driver ergonomics and electrical components to allow the car to challenge the other teams in Europe. Dozens of students have worked on this project on the design, material testing and various manufacturing tasks. Thanks to our sponsors and school we have been able to produce a more refined and tested car

with high quality components, resulting in a reliable package with performance and sleek looks on a low budget. As a team our target is to gain more experience in automotive engineering, hone our skills to a new level and enjoy ourselves during the races!

FrAnCe CRT is a pioneer team that was created in 2013 within a generalist Engineering school in Ecole Centrale Paris, France. 28 students, 12 nationalities, completely different backgrounds: this is our added value. For our first edition, the aim was to succeed in conceiving and building a Formula Student car from sketches, taking part in the Silverstone event, and creating our own legacy at ECP. We are divided into six groups according to system/ function: chassis, powertrain, drivetrain, suspension, pedalbox/ security and electronics.

As a rookie team, we decided to conceive a car to satisty the minimal requirements, taking care of security aspects and constraints. We have worked by following a clear strategy and have focused on reliability, maximum optimisation (such as weight and dimensions,) aesthetics and perfect design. We thank our partners: RS Kunststoff, Brico-Dêpot, Castorama, Amada, Arcelormittal, Lycée Jean Macé, Lycée Jean Jaurés, BDE, Akka Technologies, Arrow and our supporters.

FrAnCe The ENIM Formula Student Team was founded in 2009 by seven engineering students. This year, we have designed our fifth Formula Student car and we are participating at Silverstone for the fifth time. Since 2012, we have had a single cylinder engine and we have optimised engine performance by modifying the intake and exhaust. This year’s focus was improving the reliability of the car. Besides that, we have developed some lightweight pieces to reduce weight. We have included a data acquisition system to work on the vehicle dynamics and correlate our Adams/Car model.

This year, the team is composed of ten engineering students from the “Ecole Nationale d’Ingénieurs de Metz”. Our prototype is the seventh car built at the school and its name is EFS007. Because of its number, we have chosen to call it “GoldenEye”, like the 007 film. We would like to thank our school and all of our sponsors, as without their support, the project could not have succeeded.

FrAnCe The ISAT Formula Team was created 10 years ago. The school is the only public school specialised in automotive and transport in France. The Formula Student project is part of our curriculum in the third year, having one day per week dedicated to the project. This year our main objective is mass reduction, which is why we changed our 13 inch wheels to 10 inch wheels to reduce weight by 10kg. It was also an opportunity to modify the suspension geometry to correct last year’s faults. We have also worked on fuel consumption thanks to the tests held on our engine test bench.

The Bosch motorsport products we use to manage our engine allows us a large potential of development. We thank Texense for their support in the project. Their advice has been beneficial to prepare for our first tests before the competition.

The word “Aix” is derived from Aachen´s French name: Aix-laChapelle. The word “Ecurie” means “Racing Stable” or “Racing Team” in French and has been chosen in respect to a very successful Belgian motorsport team named “Ecurie Francorchamps”.

Racing has a history in the region around Aachen – race tracks like the famous Nürburgring or SpaFrancorchamps are just a one-hour drive away. The team has competed in Formula Student events in the US and Europe since 2002. After building ten cars with internal combustion engines, the team finally decided to switch to electric powertrains.

Around 30 highly motivated students from various fields of study are working on this year’s car, the iota2014. By creating a completely new chassis and suspension, we decided to take the know-how from last year`s electrical powertrain and start with a new model. We have set our focus on a twomotor concept, in order to apply self-designed torque vectoring. The main components of our drivetrain will be self-designed motors, each providing power to one wheel each at the rear axle.

Following last year’s aerodynamic improvements, we have further developed the front and rear wing, integrating it in our overall design for a more efficient car. As in previous years, DART-Racing stands for innovative and progressive design.

One of the biggest highlights in our season is Silverstone, not only because it is the first contest with the nb014 but also because for the first time both our combustion and electric cars are going to take the long journey to the UK. Based on the campus of the Technische Universität München in Garching close to Munich, we are now building our 11th combustion car.

As always, the nb014 is going to incorporate a number of innovations compared to its predecessors. The aerodynamic package and the suspension have been redesigned so that they work in harmony together. The most important evolution is the new engine. After 10 years with a 600cc Kawasaki straight-4, this year’s car is powered by a light and efficient 510cc single cylinder engine from KTM.

Aside from an ever-growing team we have worked hard to bring many innovations to our car and to Formula Student. In our second year with an electric engine we have created a unique concept to further improve our car, the RS 14. We took the defining features introduced in the RS 13 and further improved on them to create our most innovative car yet. On the basis of our centreless wheelhub, we were able to develop

an electric engine that is mounted in the wheel itself, making gears obsolete. This step also reduced the part variety used in our car as all four motors are the same. Another goal we accomplished this season is an even lighter monocoque. To enhance the dynamic properties of our car, we developed our own vehicle control system and incorporated torque vectoring.

greeCe UoP Racing is the Formula Student team of the University of Patras. The ethos of the team is giving room for creativity to inexperienced team members, with the main goal of the team being education. With the electric powertrain being completely new, the UoP4e is an evolution of previous designs, driven by the team motto: ‘FUNCTIONALITYDURABILITY-LIGHTWEIGHT.’ The highlight is the new electric drivetrain, consisting of a single YASA 750 electric motor and a selfdeveloped battery pack with Li-Po cells. Torque is transmitted by a modified Drexler LSD placed inside the motor, to the 10” aluminum wheels. The UoP4e is based on a

third generation CF monocoque chassis with 40% increased torsional stiffness compared to its predecessor. Suspension kinematics have been refined and parts optimised for manufacturability and weight reduction - a target enhanced by the new CF/ aluminum A-arms. The team also designed and tested its first ever aerodynamic package, consisting of a carbon fibre front and rear wing. Finally, we would like to thank University of Patras, and especially the Laboratory of Manufacturing Systems (LMS), our sponsors and families for their support.

iCelAnd For the fourth consecutive year Team Spark is representing the University of Iceland at FSUK. With a well-managed and motivated team we will be competing with a renewable and reliable high-end race car. Our current design is lighter, more powerful and with a lower centre of gravity than our last Class 1 entry. While focusing on renewability we used aluminium and alternative manufacturing methods that have saved both time and residual material, making the car more ecological. We used aerospace aluminium in both the suspension and the drivetrain. With a chrome-moly tubular spaceframe and a carbon fibre shell, the car

is very stiff with a lightweight superstructure. Additionally, this year we designed our own analysis methods using accelerometers and gyroscopes distributed around the car, gathering valuable data for both the kinematics and force calculations. The team consists of 34 engineering students from various departments. We are proud of the fact that a quarter of our team is female, making the group diverse and multidisciplinary. Due to our location and economy, both funding and logistics have been a big part of the project. Having to adjust the design to our budget while aiming for ecological production has been difficult but rewarding.

irelAnd FormulaDIT is Dublin Institute of Technology’s Formula Student team. Our 2014 team consists of 18 final year mechanical and manufacturing engineering students, each with a diverse background of skills and experience. The aim of our 2014 car was to improve engine performance, suspension dynamics and to further develop our electronic driver aids. The team’s latest generation steel tubular frame has enabled us to shed weight and repackage our drivetrain to aid maintenance. Our traditional power plant, the GSXR 600, has been turbocharged to produce 97 hp without compromising fuel efficiency. To meet our increased oil demand,

an innovative dry sump plate was manufactured. A newly designed rear suspension, and refinement of our front suspension, allowed the implementation of an anti-roll setup to instil driver confidence. Further optimising our electrical systems has allowed full implementation of a power distribution module to enable drivers to utilise our launch and traction control systems. Trackday Performance (www.TDP.ie) again proved to be an invaluable sponsor and our newly gained partner Assured Performance Ireland (www. APi.ie) enabled the development of our turbocharged system in under 10 months.

SquadraCorse is from Politecnico di Torino and was founded in 2004. It is composed by students coming from different engineering areas and countries. After six years of experience with internal combustion engine cars and one short but successful dive into the hybrid competition, SquadraCorse produced the SC12e in 2012, the first Italian FSAE full electric prototype. This year, taking inspiration from a preliminary study of benchmarking with respect to the most performing FSAE cars, precise targets were set in terms of performances for the new project. This year the team focused on the integration between mechanics and electronics, that was reflected also in the organisation of the team by

the creation of transversal and multitasking working groups. Regarding the 2014 project achievements, on one hand weight reduction and stiffness were obtained thanks to the adoption of the most recent technologies in carbon fibre manufacturing; on the other hand the ECU design process, designed in-house, was the result of a fruitful collaboration among electronics and vehicle dynamics experts leading to the implementation of several control functions such as torque vectoring system, traction control, launch control, electronic differential, electronic braking distribution and a regenerative braking system.

Taking on the challenge to design our first electric race car, featuring our first carbon fibre monocoque, has demanded the entire team to cooperate closely for the entire year. Weight reduction has been a large focus for the 2014 season. The car features carbon fibre rim shells, drive shafts, steering wheel, seat and wing package. In addition to the carbon fibre parts, the battery cells have an energy density of 190 Wh/kg and the battery package 7,4 kWh, with a total weight of 45 kg. Unsprung mass is also greatly

reduced compared to last year by reducing wheel size to 10 inches, self-designed carbon fibre rims and 3D-printed titanium uprights. Dynamics are also improved by a self-developed adaptive suspension system, only adding 400 grams to the weight of the car. All electronics, data aquisition and control functions are self-designed, programmed and produced - a natural development from our 2013 system.

We are using a single-cylinder engine which has been rebuilt based on 1D simulations, increasing compression ratios and using a different camshaft. Many elements of the car are made using Rapid Prototyping Technologies (3D scanners to acquire geometry shapes and 3D printers to produce various elements.) This year we are using an aerodynamic package to increase the vehicle’s cornering performance. Many elements of our car are made of welded and heat-treated aluminium. Every stressed part was FEM simulated. Suspension was developed with use of tyre data and simulational software. All of this was made possible by the help of our sponsors and the university.

polAnd White Eagle Racing Team of Warsaw University of Technology was founded in 2009 as the first Polish Formula Student team. Since then we have created three different cars, but this year we will participate with the most advanced version, the WER14. White Eagle Racing is based on teamwork. We work in four groups: -Suspension, -Engine&Drive train -Frame &Body -Marketing & Finances. Each group has its own members and leader, but every member can also work in other groups. Our system makes us versatile. The most important decisions are made by the management team which comprises leaders of the groups and the team

leader. As young and ambitious engineers of the future we realise that one of the most important problems that engineering is struggling with is sustainability and the use of green energy, so we have had these issues in mind during the design process. WER14 is an eco-friendly car powered by a turbocharged BMW g450x engine running on E-85. We can say that WER14 is green even though it has enough power to be very competitive. Another big advantage to our car is the simplicity of construction, as the parts are easily exchangeable.

A lot of work was completed on suspension, aerodynamics, chassis and powertrain. The suspension aims to make the car more responsive and balanced in corners. Front and rear wings provide almost three times more downforce than in our previous yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s model and the aero-balance is in tune with suspension balance.

To cope with the aero-drag, our powertrain features a 550cc big bore kit, variable plenum and a unique quick-shift system with a variable pitch worm gear and a simple DC motor. Everything is connected to our first carbon-epoxy monocoque which reduces the part count of our car and packages everything tightly together.

For the 2014 season, we are continuing the path chosen two years ago, in which an electric motor was selected due to its innovation possibilities.

The search for an efficient yet reliable single-seater has led us to design our own energy accumulator system and its integrated electronics. In addition, great effort has been carried out to introduce carbon fibre elements in the cockpit, the frame and the bodywork, so that the overall weight of the vehicle could be reduced.

sweden New year, new team members and most importantly – a new car. For the seventh year in a row, Clear River Racing, while representing Karlstad University, has built a race car which is to compete in Formula Student. The CRR14 race car has been designed with two main aspects in mind, the first being cheap manufacture adapted for the production of smaller volumes. The second aspect is sustainability, and as a result, glass fibre is used instead of carbon fibre for many parts of the body. Another outcome of the sustainability mindset is a

swap from the CRR13’s four cylinder engine to a one cylinder engine, which reduces both weight and fuel consumption. In order to maintain a level of simplicity, the number of parts has been reduced through certain actions. For instance, the hubs and the wheel centres are integrated. Also, there are no antiroll bars on the car. So far, CRR’s best finish at FSUK is 17th place. This year, we intend to improve that number and show everyone that Clear River Racing is a force to be reckoned with.

Today, the project is entirely governed by volunteer students, with a team of 32 ambitious and dedicated members. We’re proud to have students from all educational backgrounds at KTH. With almost half of our members in exchange programs, we’re also an international team. When designing the ev11, we targeted reliability and medium-to-high performance. Simple designs and manufacturability were also of high priority, as we aimed to produce 80% of the vehicle in-house. The key performance targets, such as weight/power ratio and downforce, were derived from

lap simulations, for balanced and cost efficient performance in the different disciplines. The core of this year’s design is a completely new electric powertrain. It features two independently controlled motors and torque vectoring, acting as an electric differential. The ev11 is also our third car that features an aerodynamic package, with wing elements and an underbody that utilises ground effect. We would like to thank our partners for investing in our future as it wouldn’t have been possible without their support. For more information about our project, visit www.kthformulastudent.se.

sweden This summer LURacing is competing at Silverstone with 30 highly motivated students from Lund University. This is the sixth year LURacing is competing in Formula Student and many things have changed. This year we have chosen to focus on improving the organisation and the team structure, as we think this is the baseline for achieving good results. It is also the first time we’re building a car with a wing package, which has offered the possibility for us to develop our engineering skills as well. Backed by calculations and value driven desicions, LURacing decided to go for a super lightweight

solution with high downforce and high stiffness. These attributes were realised with a single cylinder 450cc engine, carbon fibre monocoque, an effective wing package and 10’’ wheels after extensive simulations. To maximise the stiffness/massratio a great effort has been put into designing proper load paths. At LURacing, we strive for improvement and learning is our incentive. Everything we do is permeated by our core values: Every team member is driven, dedicated and strives to improve every day. That is why LURacing is “engineering applied.”

the netherlAnds The Delft University of Technology Racing Team consists of 80 team members from eight different faculties of the university. After building ten combustion cars the team decided to start building lightweight electric cars. The team is divided into five technical departments and a management team of four people. The newest car, the DUT14, can be described as an extremely lightweight four-wheel drive electric car enhanced with aerodynamic devices, a slip ratio controller and a yaw rate controller. All four motors are placed inside the wheels

together with a one-stage planetary transmission. With the self-designed tyres the team was able to fully optimise the wheel assembly and improve tyre behaviour. This year, aluminium honeycomb has been used as core material for the composite monocoque, reducing the weight of the chassis. Based on wind tunnel tests and CFD calculations, 725 N of downforce at 60 km/h is achieved with a rear wing, front wing and diffuser.

CLASS 1 aston UnivErsity

The Aston Racing Formula Student Team is primarily composed of 11 final year Mechnaical Engineering students with additional team members studying a range of courses including Product Design, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. The team has developed a fresh concept using the Keep it Simple Stupid (KISS) engineering principle driven by five key requirements above all others: the need for reliability, ease of integration, short lead times, high performance and low cost. To meet these requirements, Aston Racing has reverted to a steel tubular spaceframe chassis for the first time in ten years. A Honda

CBR600RR engine tuned in-house powers the car, improved upon with a 3D printed air intake, performance exhaust and an innovative Arduino controlled electronic gear shifter. A novel suspension design featuring watts linkage anti-roll bars (front and rear) allows for easily adjustable suspension for the car, which will be covered with composite bodywork. The team would like to say thank you for all of the support from Aston University, our brilliant sponsors and our Faculty Advisors Dr David Upton and David Smith, along with the L40 and L36 technicians who have helped us throughout the year. Without them we wouldn’t have a car this year.

The team consists of around 30 students from 12 countries. We have expanded from previous years bringing on board students from across the engineering courses within the faculty, as well as from across the wider university. The team uses a three phase process - Design, Production and Race which is then sub-divided into six systems per phase. Consequently individuals will not be in one job permanently, so they can each use their own personal strengths to benefit the team - thus we operate more efficiently as a group. The overall Team Manager meets with the Faculty Advisor and System Leaders once a week to feedback

on progress and assign tasks for the coming period. Through keeping the management team from the previous year, a more evolutionary approach has been taken to the design of the current vehicle – something previously never achieved. The vehicle is designed around a low weight, low centre of gravity ethos. Everything has been optimised in terms of placement, but also of how many functions it can provide to the vehicle. A massive thank you to JORacing. dk and OBR for supporting our vehicle electronics, and to our other partners who have helped make this car possible!

Brunel Racing has been competing since the very first FS UK competition, consistently pushing the boundaries with innovative and novel vehicle concepts. The 2014 Brunel Racing team consists of six level 5 MEng students, who act as the team managers, and 29 level 3 students, who act as the team’s designers. For the first time in Brunel Racing’s recent history an aerodynamic package has been incorporated onto BR-XV, Brunel Racing’s 2014 FS car, after several years of experimentation and simulation work. Due to the incorporation of aerodynamics it was necessary to also include a revised suspension system to

support the vehicles changing dynamics. The other major change for the 2014 competition is within the Yamaha R6 powertrain and drivetrain where a power increase of 25%, compared to 2013, has been achieved through the alteration of the engine rev limit and modification of the engine intake whilst also incorporating a custom 4 speed gearbox. We would like to say a big thank you to Brunel Racing’s main sponsors, without which we would not be able to build the car. Thanks to Trelleborg, AEM and Bosch Motorsport.

Cardiff Racing returns to Silverstone with their latest competition vehicle, CR10. The car was designed primarily by fourth year engineering students with enthusiastic volunteers ranging from first year undergraduates to postgraduates. Having had reliability issues in previous years the focus has been on building a solid car early in the year to maximise testing opportunities. With all our aims achieved, confidence is high and this year we are striving for our best result to date. The chassis remains a half aluminium honeycomb sandwich panel monocoque, half steel spaceframe concept that is more refined than previous years’ designs with substantial mass reductions, improved

manufacturability, increased accessibility and innovative design solutions. An optimised intake and exhaust system allows the Aprilia SXV 550 V-twin to maintain previous power and torque, however deliver more reliable power with greater efficiency. A complete overhaul of the cooling system has incorporated a revised radiator and new sidepod. The power is transmitted via a student-designed aluminium differential that has proved faster than a spool in backto-back testing. New suspension systems provide a modest mass reduction and an improved geometry over previous vehicles. A solenoid quick shifter combined with gearbox modifications allows reliable and easy gear shifting.

City Racing, the Formula Student Team of City University London, is made up of 25 third and fourth year Engineering students, and for the first time in City Racing’s history, the team this year contains Aeronautical Engineering Students. In 2012, the Team made a conscious effort to start again after disappointing results in previous year’s events. As a result, last year’s vehicle, the CR13, was by far the best vehicle produced by City Racing, which has allowed the team to now focus on refining vehicle performance, rather than a complete redesign. The Team is split into five subgroups: Chassis & Suspension, Powertrain,

Drivetrain and Ergonomics and this year, progress has been made in all of these areas. In the Chassis Subgroup, design effort has been centred on improving the driver cell and suspension geometry. Further to this, large weight reductions have been achieved, reducing the un-sprung mass of the vehicle. The addition of a Drexler differential and extensive Ricardo Wave analysis on the Powertrain has also brought about significant performance improvements. All of this design effort and hard work means that the CR14 will be the best vehicle in City Racing’s history.

The team also has its own press team and KU e-Racing engineering society, which has been promoting the project at many STEM events such as Big Bang and National Instruments conference in London. The design for this year draws from the experience gained last year: being in the competition for the second time we have much clearer focus as to what to expect and what is required to achieve the goal for this

year. Although it sounds simple, it presents an immense challenge: to get the car on track and to set the first Kingston University’s track times at Silverstone and ensure success by keeping the design simple. The team has very strong hands-on skills and intends to reuse many of the components from last year in a new configuration. With a significant number of members carrying on from last year, the team has a strong bond, and attending the Silverstone event last year enhanced our focus and determination for this year, building our second car KUES2.

This year, Lancaster Racing have decided to move away from its previous designs of utilising a 4 cylinder, 600cc engine, to designing a car incorporating a single cylinder, 450cc engine. This change is being undertaken in the hopes of decreasing the weight of the car in order to become more competitive. As well as this,other changes include a new differential that encompasses the redesign by using a Drexler model as opposed to the Torsen geared differential formerly used. Llast year’s Lancaster Links suspension system has been replaced by a standard double wishbone system. Natural fibre composite materials are being

extensively used for the first time in areas such as the bodywork in an attempt to become more eco-friendly. Finally, an in-depth study into the aerodynamics of the vehicle, specifically an underfloor, has been undertaken with the hopes of improving the performance of the car during the Skid Pan and Endurance events. The team is hopeful of a promising result this year and wish to thank all their sponsors, as well as the team patron, James May (BBC Top Gear presenter and Lancaster alumnus), for enabling them to achieve this.

This year will see LJMU Racing Team entering Class 1 for the fifth year running. The previous four years have seen the team develop in to a team capable of producing a race-winning car. This prior experience has been implemented in to the car we will be racing in 2014. New members have been encouraged to enable a positive transfer of knowledge from senior members. Attention has been paid to a few key areas... The powertrain and driveability has been improved due to a new inlet cam profile giving less immediate torque. The intake system has been fully optimised using simulation to

match the new cam and custom exhaust. The inlet runners will be manufactured by rapid prototype to allow the actual shape to be as required. This year LJMU has been able to complete more driver training than usual. This is partly due to our new full motion simulator and also due to us being able to practice events we have previously been unable to.

LUMotorsport, now in its 12th year; is a team of 20 highly passionate Automotive, Aeronautical, Mechanical and Electrical engineers from Loughborough University. LFS14 is an evolution of LUMotorsport’s all new car for 2013; bringing significant mass savings, large gains in powertrain performance and, for the first time in our team’s history, a wind-tunnel proven aerodynamics package. Static twin element wings bring a modest amount of downforce, with excellent lift-to-drag and mass ratios. A revolutionary two-stage air intake system, coupled with optimised valve timing look to bring 20% more torque to the rear wheels

from our dependable stable of four cylinder Honda engines; kept cool by many hours of work in thermal management. The steel spaceframe has been optimised even further, with elegant rear end packaging. All this is brought together in the team’s spare time, often throughout the night. Pride in our work is earned through meticulous attention to detail and ownership of every stage of the design and build process. As much of the build as can be is kept on campus, and many elements are still made by hand. As ever, the team aspires to be the best in the UK, and this year it is more confident than ever.

Our team is comprised of a healthy mix of first, second and third year undergraduate engineering students from various disciplines. The team consists of approximately 15 members, with four team leaders to oversee the major sections of the design. Two third year students lead the project as Co-Team Principles. The team is currently working to a three-year plan to transfer knowledge from experienced students to the students who are new to Formula Student, ensuring progression is achieved every year. We have aspired to design a reliable and easy-to-maintain car, making the most of our inhouse manufacturing facilities.

We have designed the vehicle using a mixture of components manufactured in-house and off the shelf. MMU-R14 is a redesign to improve on the previous car, reducing the overall vehicle mass and optimising vehicle performance. We have also incorporated driver feedback, by the use of an electronic dashboard system, displaying vital vehicle information. The primary objective of the team is to finish all dynamic events and avoid penalties in the static events. This will enable us to achieve our overall aim of finishing in the top 30 Formula Student teams.

NR9 is Newcastle Racing’s 9th entry into Formula Student and the team’s second electric car. The team is relatively small in size for such a complex and involved project with just eight 4th year students being helped out by ten 3rd year students. As a principle, we have tried to build as much of the car as possible in-house to further develop the practical skills of all team members. This year’s design incorporates a full aluminium honeycomb monocoque chassis, providing incredibly high torsional stiffness.

We believe that we have found a highly reliable combination of batteries, BMS, motor and a motor controller which will prove invaluable come race day. Our target this year is to be the number one UK electric team, so watch this space! www.newcastle-racing.co.uk

TAU Racing are a team of around 40 Aberdeen University students from a wide range of disciplines and ages. After having spent the summer months testing and developing our previous car, we have brought a number of improvements for the 2014 competition. We switched to a more modern CBR engine for favourable engine mounts and higher fidelity sensors, which goes hand in hand with the much broader range of valuable data being collected from a plethora of sensors placed all over the car. The suspension has also seen a great deal of development and for

the first time, adjustable front and rear anti-roll bars are included to improve roll rates and make the car more drivable through greater adjustability. Inside the cockpit, ergonomics have been improved due to the lower, more reclined seating position and moulded carbon fibre seat. In turn, this has allowed us to significantly lower the roll hoop, saving 1.3kg from the roll hoop alone and helping to lower the all important centre of gravity. We would once again like to extend a huge thank you to all of our sponsors, as well as the University of Aberdeen for continuing to support TAU Racing.

Team Bath Racing have competed in Formula Student since 2001, with an entirely new cohort of team members each year. This presented a clean sheet of paper for the 2014 team, comprising of 25 undergraduates. The focus of this new car has been on a lightweight, tuneable and ergonomic chassis, with significant aerodynamic enhancements. To meet this aim we have designed a completely new CFRP monocoque with a steel rearframe to achieve ideal torsional stiffness, weight reduction and engine accessibility. The Aprilia 550cc 2 cylinder engine has been selected to provide excellent drivability and torque with a low engine mass of 32kg. Our outboard suspension assembly features

some exciting integration and weight saving concepts through combining the wheel centre and hub into one component, plus a unique manufacturing method for the uprights. Our innovative additive manufactured intake system has been developed on the dynamometer to improve torque by 10% across the range by optimising fuel and air mixing. The careful implementation of advanced materials in integrated designs gives this car potential to excel in the static and dynamic events. We will also compete in Germany and Austria this year. Thank you to our sponsors including BP, M+W Group and Cytec Industrial Materials.

UBRacing is based just 50 miles up the M40 from the heart of British motorsport. 2014 brings the 17th University of Birmingham Formula Student car, the team having competed in each FSUK since it began in 1998. This season’s team consists of around 50 students in various stages of their university careers, with a dedicated core team of 15 second and third year students. As an extra-curricular activity, this project is fuelled purely by the team’s enthusiasm and passion for design and engineering. The design aims for our 2014 challenger are reliability, speed and manufacturing ease. The foundation of our aims lies with our heavily

upgraded Yamaha R6 powertrain featuring new, student designed intake and exhaust manifolds, further optimised by new cams and a range of engine maps. This, combined with our spaceframe chassis design equipped with full carbon fire bodywork and structural floors is looking to be a highly competitive car. UBRacing would like to thank all of our sponsors, without whom we could not have achieved any of this seasons progress.

The University of Exeter team is made up of 15 engineering students, studying in their fourth and final year. This year the aim was to expand on last year’s success where the previous team won the Alan Staniforth Award for Best Newcomer, finishing an impressive 62nd out of over 120 entrants. The weak points of the 2013 car were scrutinised at the start of the project to ensure the design would be better for the 2014 car. One of the major flaws with last year’s car was the lack of a rear

differential, leading to the team setting the record for most cones hit in the endurance event. This year a custom-made differential is being used which will drastically improve the handling of the car. Cutting edge manufacturing processes at the University have been utilised to produce lightweight performance parts. This has helped the team succeed in another of the key aims for this year, which was to reduce the weight as much as possible with a target weight of 240kg, which works out as a 25% reduction compared to last year’s car.

Central to the development of HARE-14 is a multi-level project plan outlining objectives from a management level down to a component level.The plan has been meticulously followed, resulting in the completion of many component designs that feed into this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main objective; to score more points in static and dynamic events than ever before. Scoping the project in this way has minimised technical risk, which will grant us the reliability that cemented our success in competition last year. To name a few of many new features: driver ergonomics have

been improved, drivetrain has been optimised and the fuel tank has been re-designed, consequent to the outstanding fuel efficiency which saw us take first place in combustion fuel economy in Spain last year. A significant amount of track testing has taken place, which has furthered our understanding of differential and suspension setup as well as providing our drivers with time in the car, helping us to ensure competition readiness.

Additionally it is the same when viewed in an mirror and upside down.

Hopefully there won’t be any demonstrations of the latter property!

The University of Liverpool Formula Student team consists of 31 third and fourth year mechanical engineering students and this year are showcasing their ninth race car, the ULM009. The team has been improving every year with strengths in product design as well as technical ability and hopes to capitalise on this in the dynamic events for the 2014 season with focus on reliability, driveability and weight reduction. One of the key features of ULM009 is the rear subframe detachment methodology, which removes the powertrain and rear suspension at six fasteners. By designing this, the ease of modification and

servicing makes the ULM009 chassis superior to monocoque alternatives. Other key features include a new custom dry sump, carbon fibre composite plenum and Drexler differential to give a high performing powertrain as well as new integrated electronics for better engine efficiency. ULM009 also features a full aeropackage for additional downforce and balance to give drivers the confidence to push the car to its limit. It is only with the support of ULM Racing’s sponsors that an overall top 15 result is possible, which is something the team will be striving to achieve this summer.

Formula Student Northampton Racing (FSN Racing) is a brand new team to Formula Student 2014. This is the University of Northampton’s first Class 1 entry. The team comprises of mostly part time HNC and BSc students and has been built at and in partnership with the newly built UTC at Silverstone. 90% of the team have little to no experience of cars or motorsport and have used this first year to familiarise themselves with the areas and systems of cars to create a foundation for 2015. As a result the car has been designed as a test bed for the 2nd evolution of the car as it features a raised nose similar to mid 90’s onwards Formula 1 cars. This allows the air to flow in a more controlled manner around

the car, for both aerodynamic and heat management purposes. The goals of the 2014 team are to use this first year to gather experience for 2015 and to score points in each area of the competition. The early days of the build were done at the Team Principal’s garage while the Silverstone UTC workshops were completed, resulting in Glen Adams’ wife Joanna having their first baby Alexander whilst he and the team were completing the SES and a photo shoot for a sponsors cheque presentation in the garage next door. The team is working with the IMechE on a pilot scheme to use scholars as team suppliers - hence the partnership with the UTC. The team has been followed closely by BBC Radio Northampton.

SFR005 is a large design shift from Sheffield Formula Racing’s previous cars. Overall, we have focused on producing a more tightly packaged car. This has been achieved through a number of key design features. Firstly, the engine has been downsized from a 4 cylinder Suzuki GSXR600 to the single cylinder Husqvarna. This saves weight and allows more torque to be applied in a more advantageous rev range. Secondly, the wheels have been reduced in size from 13” to 10”. This has driven numerous other design changes including inboard rear brakes. SFR005 has far more sensors than previous cars which, via a Vehicle Data Acquisition System

(VDAQ), allows for several variables such as wheel speed and damper displacement, to be recorded. This data can then be used to improve the design of future cars. Sheffield Formula Racing consists of 35 engineering undergraduates from across all four years of study at the University of Sheffield, for whom Formula Student is an entirely extra-curricular project. The team is organised into five different design teams in addition to the leadership team. Our main focus this year has been to increase the amount of testing we complete with SFR005.

The Southampton University Formula Student Team (SUFST) was revived in 2013, achieving our goal of introducing over 100 volunteer students to the competition, passing scrutineering and competing in every event. With the infrastructure now in place and the experience we gained from last year’s competition, we are now ready to compete at a much higher level. Starting from a clean slate, we’ve aimed to create a more holistic design which utilises an aluminium shear plate that the engine, differential and rear suspension mount to. We’ve also engaged in a much more extensive testing programme and, with help from National Instruments, have

established a data acquisition system in order to optimise our car’s performance. SUFST is a volunteer team, all the work that has gone into this year’s car has been completed in our spare time and we’re proud to have a large team of over 100 members, made up of students from many different faculties. We’d like to thank all of our sponsors for their help in getting us to this stage and we are looking forward to seeing our hard work race around the track.

This season we have built on the solid foundations of USM 13. We have improved our engine reliability through the addition of an electric water pump, oil cooler, new coil packs, injectors and of course MAPs. The implementation of a CAN-based data acquisition system with telemetry provides a live feed of data to the pit, enabling us to monitor the car on track and enhances our ability to process data after testing. Using 5-axis CNC machining, our new upright designs have a combined weight reduction of 20%, saving approximately 638g. Improvements in chassis design, implementation of a Lithium-IronPhosphate battery, dash re-design

and new and an improved exhaust are some other areas where weight has been reduced. The team have altered USM’s design philosophy to introduce carbon fibre as for the first time in USM’s history the team have designed, manufactured and are ready to test an aerodynamic package consisting of multielement front and rear wings. With the car manufactured in March our main goal was to significantly increase our testing time to improve reliability, car setup and train our drivers in USM14 to be ready for competition.

In previous years the SURTES team has been let down by car reliability in the dynamic events. This year a simply designed car built early will allow us to carry out more testing, improving reliability. The main focus of this year’s car has been to improve the handling and driveability. The suspension geometry has been optimised using IPG Carmaker, giving a more balanced, driveable car. A Drexler limited slip differential will improve traction during starts and in the corner exits. The Honda CBR 600 engine has an intake and exhaust optimised with Ricardo WAVE software. The optimisation was aimed at an increase in power

across the whole rev range making the car more driveable on tight, twisty sprint and endurance circuits. Our carbon fibre monocoque front tub integrated with a steel spaceframe rear gives the best of both worlds, keeping an open, easy to access engine area while maintaining high torsional stiffness in the front part of the chassis. With these improvements in the car handling and more testing and driver training, the SURTES team hopes to improve in last year’s dynamic events, hopefully placing in the top ten overall.

Mobil 1 Team Sussex has competed in Formula Student Class 1 since 2009. This year we aim to improve on our previous best of 34th place in 2011; and with new engines, improved drivetrain, intake systems and reduced weight, we fully expect to do so.The major advancements for our current vehicle (TS-14) come in the powertrain area of the car. New lighter and more powerful engines, supplied by Isle of Man TT winners Padgetts Racing, means we expect to perform a lot better under acceleration. A full 3D printed intake system, manufactured by Graphite, will help to optimise the performance of these engines. A new lightweight differential and

driveshaft package, manufactured by our sponsors Quaife, will enhance the acceleration of TS-14 further. The team has also made advancements aerodynamically, running a front wing for the first time, which is designed to reduce the drag using tyre fairings to direct the airflow away from the front wheels. In addition we are running an improved diffuser design which should provide more overall downforce to the car. We very much look forward to bringing a competitive car to FS 2014, and wish all teams the best of luck!

The University of Ulster Team (UUJ Racing) is made up of 17 students from all years, from a range of courses in the School of Engineering. This team has a passion for automotive engineering and motorsport with a desire to compete. Due to financial considerations, our car is designed to be basic yet effective. We decided to use a tried and tested engine and gearbox, familiar to the university. A quick shift system will be used to allow for improved gear changes. The only aerodynamic device being used is a diffuser that has

been optimised with the use of CFD. For suspension, the geometry adjustability is kept off the arms for better load paths and unparallel, unequal A-arms were considered the best option for optimal geometry. We are engineers who have clearly proved that limited finances are not a major barrier if you possess the desire, commitment, enthusiasm and synergy.

Warwick Racing is a team of 15 4th year undergraduate students specialising in either a Mechanical or Automotive Engineering MEng degree. Their latest Formula Student car, WR4, has been designed and manufactured with innovation and light-weighting in mind. The overall project and team is managed by the Project Manager; the Chief Engineer is responsible for delivering the technical aspects. Chassis and Powertrain sub-team leaders, and the Sponsorship and Finance Manager, offer additional managerial support. WR4 is the fourth petrol engined single-seat race car built by Warwick Racing, and the most promising iteration to date. The powertrain team have sourced a number of new components, most

notably the KTM single-cylinder engine and Drexler LSD. This has seen a switch to a new hand-clutch and shifter system for greater driveability but perhaps the most exciting part from the powertrain team is the final drive anti-shock sprocket system. To house this new powertrain setup, the chassis team have produced a steel tubular spaceframe complete with optimised removable aluminium bulkhead to aid accessibility. CFRP and sandwich composites have been used extensively to minimise weight without compromising on performance, most notably in the new impact attenuator design.

A recommendation will be made on the basis that the engine provides significant gains over the “Honda CBR RR 600 cc “ currently used by the team. This will be achieved using a cost versus benefit strategy. The areas studied will include engine effect on vehicle dynamics, engine performance, engine weight, cost and maintenance. The engine designs considered will be significantly different from the engine currently employed in the vehicle. Our plan for efficient design for the vehicle: We looked at previous designs of the cars involved in the competition to make sure that our design is more efficient. We tested our design before manufacturing to make sure that the design is efficient. For the cost, we selected the parts according to their efficiency and price together.

University of patras greece UoP Racing is the Formula Student team of the University of Patras, Greece. The Class 2 team consists of new team members who have designed and developed the next UoP racecar, UoP5e. Evolving from last year’s car, UoP5e takes the next step by incorporating twin AC motors which will allow the team to fully exploit the benefits of electric drive by using torque vectoring in order to aid yaw acceleration and transient stability. Torque is transmitted through a self-designed two-stage gearbox to 10” rear wheels. A simulation-based sensitivity analysis highlighted the areas that would render the biggest laptime improvements, namely aerodynamics and a low centre of gravity. Thus, the team moved the batteries on both sides of the chassis, significally lowering the CG. A self-developed distributed BMS continuously monitors the accumulator temperature and voltage, which was raised to 600V to reduce resistive losses and increase efficiency. Improved manufacturing techniques and layout, as well as a careful redesign allows for about 20% lower chassis weight, while maintaining the same torsional stiffness.

CLASS 2 University of bath uK For our Class 2 entry this year, Team Bath Racing have designed a next generation of a single seat racing car. The car features a full carbon-fibre monocoque and turbocharged single cylinder engine running on biofuel. We have designed the car to be eficient, responsive and lightweight to achieve optimal performance in dynamic Formula Student events. The forced induction system gives the engine a substantial power to weight ratio whilst also aiding fuel consumption. To optimise this package, E85 - a blend of ethanol and gasoline, has been used. To further enhance performance an aerodynamics, our package provides up to 800N of down force at 60kph. To achieve this ambitious design we started building the car in October, which allowed for contingency and extensive testing time, ensuring Team Bath Racing are fully prepared for FS2014.

University of GlasGow uK This year’s team comprises of students from a variety of engineering disciplines across all years of undergraduate study. What we all share is that we are completely new to the Formula Student scene. When the team was formed last October, many of us had absolutely no knowledge of racing car design. Our car is a sidewinder, meaning the engine is packaged to one side of the driver, rather than behind. This unorthodox layout has challenged us to think outside the box with our designs, and helped rapidly improve our understanding of what is needed to build a successful racing car.

University of dUndee uK The DRIVE team is six years old with 25 current members. During this time we have designed and built five cars and are currently building our sixth car for the 2014/15 Formula Student events. The team has chosen to take part in the Class 2 competition this year to allow for better development of our next car. We are aiming to finish within the top five British teams within the next three years.

University of hertfordshire uK UH Racing is historically and currently the highest ranked British Formula Student team. Our University’s reputation for engineering will drive us to push new technologies to their limits so we can continue to succeed in the future. This year’s Class 2 team will see the re-introduction of an electric powered car, aided by a technical partnership with YASA motors. Our car will also be featuring revolutionary aerodynamic features, whilst still adhering to the Business Logic Case’s demands.

CLASS 2 University of manChester uK The University of Manchester 2014 team comprises entirely of voluntary engineering students. The 2013/2014 academic year also included the introduction of the development of a new and innovative knowledge transfer system which the team has been hard at work implementing. Entering the 2014 competition with a Class 2 car has been a decision made with the car’s reliability and end result in mind. Our sponsor Essar have supported us throughout the year in various ways, including providing assistance with our business presentation. Ultimately, the goals for the car have been to meet our internal design objectives. By reducing excess weight from the chassis and suspension, the team intends to reduce the car’s kerb weight to under 200kg. Other major goals include unsprung mass reduction through the use of carbon fibre wishbones and redesigned uprights. The 2004 Yamaha YZF-R6 engine is selected for its longer stroke as the rpm is limited.

AWARDS CEREMONY

University of warwiCK uK This year, we had the ambitious goal of radically redesigning the Warwick Racing car to incorporate an electric powertrain for the first time. After starting off with a completely blank slate, we methodically narrowed down the options in order to focus on four main targets: reliability, efficiency, robustness and sustainability. We cooperated closely with Warwick’s IC team, experts in power electronics and battery technology at Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and key sponsors such as Catapult, National Instruments, Enerdel and Infineon. The team believes passionately in the potential of electric vehicles, and is proud to contribute towards this sustainable vision.
