Summary of rules Student competition įormula SAE has relatively few performance restrictions. In 2017, the Formula Student Driverless was inaugurated. In 2010, the Formula Student Electric was inaugurated, which requires the students to build a fully electrically powered racing vehicle. The competition takes place at the New Hampshire International Speedway. It is similar to Formula SAE, except all cars must have gasoline-electric hybrid power plants. In 2007, an offshoot called Formula Hybrid was inaugurated. The Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI) holds the Formula Student Germany competition at the Hockenheimring. For example, Formula Student is a similar SAE-sanctioned event in the UK, as well as Formula SAE Australasia (Formula SAE-A) taking place in Australia. Today, the competition has expanded and includes more than 12 events all over the world. The volunteers for the design judging include some of the racing industry's most prominent engineers and consultants including the late Carroll Smith, Bill Mitchell, Doug Milliken, Claude Rouelle, Jack Auld, John LePlante, Ron Tauranac, and Bryan Kubala. Working in teams of anywhere between two and 30, these students have proven themselves to be capable of producing a functioning prototype vehicle. Large companies, such as General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, can have staff interact with more than 1000 student engineers. Its braking ability, rollover stability and noise levels are checked before the vehicle is allowed to compete in the dynamic events (Skidpad, Autocross, Acceleration, and Endurance). At the beginning of the competition, the vehicle is checked for rule compliance during the Technical Inspection. For example, best use of E-85 ethanol fuel, innovative use of electronics, recyclability, crash worthiness, analytical approach to design, and overall dynamic performance are some of the awards available. In addition to these events, various sponsors of the competition provide awards for superior design accomplishments. The points schedule for most Formula SAE events is: Static Events The prototype race car is judged in a number of different events.
#RACE CAR CROSS WEIGHT SERIES#
Each student team designs, builds and tests a prototype based on a series of rules, whose purpose is both ensuring on-track safety (the cars are driven by the students themselves) and promoting clever problem solving. The target marketing group for the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. The prototype race car is to be evaluated for its potential as a production item. The concept behind Formula SAE is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a student design team to develop a small Formula-style race car. Absent is the Pennsylvania State University The 2007 design finalist cars from the left, University of Michigan - Ann Arbor, TU Graz, University of Wisconsin - Madison, and Kansas.
