We are currently in the
designing phase of this project and have compiled many guild lines that
we will follow, including the Formula
SAE Handbook.
Our car will most likely be a naturally
aspirated car with a four cylinder 600cc engine from a sport motorcycle.
It will be of mid-engine, rear wheel drive design, with fully independent
suspension. The suspension will be double a-arm, pull or push rod, with
gas filled fully adjustable shock absorbers. It will utilize multi-piston
disc brakes, outboard for the front wheels and single inboard for the
rear. A composite body will cover a chromoly steel/ 6061 aluminum alloy
tube frame.
The car will also include such systems
as electronic fuel injection, launch control, telemetry logging, and
clutch-less gear shifting. With these features and many not mentioned,
we will have nothing less than a very competitive and successful first
year of competition.
