FORMULA STUDENT 2014
CHAIRMAN
FORMULA STUDENT 2014
Im delighted to be continuing in my role as Patron

of Formula Student, and have no doubt this years
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 worlds
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 youll 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 cant make this years event, I will follow
the competition closely. I do hope Ill 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. Its 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, Im
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 theyll need
when they go on to work in industry, FSs 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. Thetarget 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

You can also read more about previous competitors who

have gone on to have successful careers in motorsport and
engineering (page10).

EVENTS
AND SCORING
TESTING TIMES
As Formula Student aims to develop well-rounded
engineers, each team is assessed not only on their cars
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 cars 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 theyve 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 teams 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 cars performance an important part of any teams business case.

Skid Pad 50 points

In motorsport straight line speed isnt 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 cars powertrain performance
and drivability as well as the suspensions ability to
provide maximum tyre grip. The measure of acceleration
is the total time it takes to travel down Silverstones 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. Its
such an interesting job and its 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 Id 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
years 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 couldnt 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.

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 teams emphasis on
ergonomics. Monash Motorsports
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.

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 wouldnt be able to build such
a high performance racing car year
after year!

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
were taking part in this year: FSUK,
FSGermany and FSSpain.

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!

FSB Racing team is the first
Croatian Formula Student team.
This is our fourth vehicle and it is
named Arctos after a traditional
Croatian wild bear, which is also
how it behaves on track! The team
consists of 20 members organised in
several groups: chassis, suspension,
engine and drive, aerodynamics,
brakes, impact zone, electronics,
bodyshell and marketing. The
team has a goal to carefully design
and develop each part of the car
using various computer tools.
Progress has been made in every
aspect compared to previous
animals from our garage. Rapid
prototyping has been used for the
first time in manufacturing vehicle
26
parts. Various high tech materials

have been used as well, such as a
titanium exhaust and a full carbon
fibre body. Our education, combined
with great effort, resulted in this
beautiful product and we are
certainly proud of every aspect of
it. The biggest innovation so far is
mobile application that tracks the
car and its conditions and changes.

The current car is the 7th
generation of the Viking car. It
has been developed by a team
of 18 mechanical students and
10 robotics students. The Viking
VIIs main focus on the electrical
side is to optimise and refine
the current traction control and
regenerative braking algorithms,
as well as implementing a CANprotocol to communicate with the
motor controller. In addition, the
team will try to implement semiactive suspension by modifying
the dampers with MR-fluid and
electromagnets.
geometry, made by replacing the

old pull-rod system in front with a
push-rod system, and redesigning
the rear pull-rod system. Another
change on this years car is a new
pedal box that integrates a sensor
for regenerative braking in order
to give the driver a better feel
for controlling the braking force.
All these improvements have
been made to finish in the top 10
of electric cars in 2014. We are
convinced that this years car is
the most competitive so far and are
very much looking forward to the
competition.

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!

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-Dpot, Castorama, Amada,
Arcelormittal, Lyce Jean Mac,

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 years 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 dIngnieurs
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

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
years 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.

TUfast is looking forward to the
competition in Silverstone this year!
This is the first year in which we
are going to compete in FSUK with
both of our cars until now only our
combustion vehicles used to come
to Silverstone.
We are very excited and looking

forward to see how the eb014
will perform on its first trip to
Silverstone.
In 2014, however we are going to

undertake the journey to Silverstone
- the home of British Motor Sportwith our electric race car, the eb014,
as well. With the eb014, we have
completely changed the powertrain
concept so that the eb014 sports
an all-new monocoque with four
electric motors driving all four
wheels.

The TU Darmstadt Racing Team
(DART Racing) is now participating
in FS UK for the sixth time. Around
30 highly motivated students from
various fields of study are working
on this years 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 years 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.

New season, new team, new car.
We are excited and really looking
forward to compete against the best
teams from all over the world.
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
Universitt Mnchen 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 years car is powered
by a light and efficient 510cc single
cylinder engine from KTM.

Since 2004 when the Running Snail
Racing Team was founded, we have
created a new car every year. The
know-how collected throughout the
years has helped us to improve our
car. 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
34
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.

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.

time and residual material, making
the car more ecological. We used
aerospace aluminium in both the
suspension and the drivetrain. With

various departments. We are proud
of the fact that a quarter of our team
is female, making the group diverse

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

to produce 97 hp without
compromising fuel efficiency. To
meet our increased oil demand,
an innovative dry sump plate was

manufactured. A newly designed

This car has been 2 years in
development by a small and
dedicated team of students
from across the University of
Limericks range of engineering and
technology courses.
Simplicity has been the key design
goal for this car. As the saying goes,
in order to finish first, first you must
finish.
Its been a tough road to get here,
especially after the untimely death
of our Faculty Lead, Dr. Christy
Gillick, early in April of this year.
This car is dedicated to his memory.

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.

Since JUST Formula Student team
was established only recently and
lacks the experience in designing
and building racing cars, it was
decided from the beginning to keep
the design as simple as possible.
Relying on the principles of basic
race car design without any frills,
the car was designed with a
spaceframe chassis in compliance
with FS regulations. The design of
the car was accomplished with a
small team, so some items had to
be bought rather than designed and
manufactured by the team.
for future competitions and to

establish an automotive research
centre at JUST. Our sponsors are
Technology, King Abdullah II Fund

A team of 46 members has worked
very hard to develop a whole new
car from scratch. 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.

This year the team comprises of 30
undergraduate students, including
sophomores, juniors and seniors.
This year we have taken a basic and
practical approach on producing a
simple and reliable car. A number
of parts that were bought off the
shelf for 2013 have been developed
in-house this year and we are

targeting a weight reduction of over
30kg compared to last years model.
Our aim for FS 2014 is to improve on
static event performance, pass all
the tests and finish the endurance
competition. We would also like to
take this opportunity to thank all of
our partners and supporters - their
good will and support has been vital

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 vehicles cornering
performance. Many elements of

White Eagle Racing Team of
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.

This year UNI Maribor Grand
Prix Engineering are entering FS
UK, FSAEI and FSG. With some
simulations and our previous
experience, we have come up
with a lightweight full aero car.
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
years 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.

Compromise, teamwork, innovation

and training are the foundations
of Formula Student Bizkaia, which
is composed of 60 alumni of the
University of the Basque Country
(UPV/EHU) and has participated in
Formula Student since 2008.
Our new team members are
internally trained so that the teams
know-how grows every year. For
that purpose, practice and training
are everything for us: all our designs
are tested on simulations and on
the track. 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.
This, in combination with our brand
new belt-powered powertrain, will
ensure the competitiveness of our
new FSB2014 at this years event.

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
50
swap from the CRR13s 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, CRRs
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.

With almost half of our members

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
years 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

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.

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 wouldnt 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
54
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 teams designers. For the first
time in Brunel Racings recent
history an aerodynamic package
has been incorporated onto BR-XV,
Brunel Racings 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 Racings
main sponsors, without which we
would not be able to build the car.
Thanks to Trelleborg, AEM and

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 Racings
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
years events. As a result, last
years 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
Racings history.

DMU Racing is embarking on its

second year at Formula Student.
Learning from the shortcomings of
our first attempt at building an FS
car, an overhaul of the design and
build process was put in place.
This was with the aim of improving
the ease of manufacture of the
whole car as well as improving the
overall quality of the product. The
DMU02 has major changes in its
chassis and suspension designs
that help improve on weight and
handling/performance.
DMU02 uses the successful Honda

CBR600RR engine giving a balance
of performance and economy. The
team is hoping to finish better than
last year by completing all of the
dynamic events with solid finishing
positions.

KU e-Racing comes from Kingston

University London and this is our
second entry into the competition.
The team has students from a range
of different areas of engineering and
all years of study, from foundation
year to master level. 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 Universitys 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

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 years Lancaster
Links suspension system has been
replaced by a standard double
wishbone system. Natural fibre
composite materials are being
58
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.

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

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 seasons 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 teams 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. For more information

The FBR14 is Full Blue Racings

6th entry to the FSUK competition.
The team now comprises of over
40 members from the engineering,
maths, science and humanities
faculties and would not be able to
carry on without the help of over 30
different sponsoring companies.
Building on the most successful year
to date in 2012, we decided FBR will
run a two year cycle; developing the
design and manufacturing over the
first year, followed by assembly and
testing the next.
Our aim is to continue our success
at the 2014 event with the FBR14
after achieving our best ever result

at FSUK13, finishing 5th in the

Class 2 event. Our focus has been
to design a highly reliable and
low-weight solution, with the car
manufactured well in advance of
competition to allow for extensive
testing.
With this new arrangement, one
that suits the relatively young
team, we hope that FBR will finally
reach its potential and move up the
competition rankings.

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 years 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
years 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 years car.

Team HARE enters Formula Student

this year with HARE-14, pursuing
an even greater success story than
our Top UK winning entry last
year. 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 years
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
66
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. Key sponsors
we would like to thank include

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 Racings
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 Northamptons
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 90s onwards Formula 1
cars. This allows the air to flow in
a more controlled manner around
68
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 Principals 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.

This is the fourth year in a row that

UPRacing has entered a class 1 FS
car. The team is bigger than ever
with 40 members, formed from a
variety of age brackets from first to
fourth years. This years evolution
has brought in many weight saving
and reliable parts. Our teams
goal has been to create a reliable
and affordable weekend racer.
Areas of development include a
carbon fibre air intake which has
been designed to increase torque
at low engine speeds, a lighter
exhaust system, an optimised
tubular spaceframe welded by BAE
systems, aluminium uprights which
were made courtesy of Pall Europe,
custom-made connectors provided
by Fischer Connections and a

unique handcrafted bodywork. We
would like to thank all our sponsors
for their support including IMechE.
We will also be competing at FS
Spain. UPRacing are supporting
Mission Motorsport over the 2014
season, a charity that provides
respite, rehabilitation, recreational
opportunities and training to
previously injured and recovering
military servicemen and women
within the framework of motorsport.

SFR005 is a large design shift from

Sheffield Formula Racings 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 years competition,
we are now ready to compete at a
much higher level. Starting from a
clean slate, weve aimed to create a
more holistic design which utilises
an aluminium shear plate that
the engine, differential and rear
suspension mount to. Weve 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 cars
performance. SUFST is a volunteer
team, all the work that has gone into
this years car has been completed
in our spare time and were proud
to have a large team of over 100
members, made up of students from
many different faculties. Wed like
to thank all of our sponsors for their
help in getting us to this stage and

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
70
and new and an improved exhaust

are some other areas where weight
has been reduced. The team have
altered USMs design philosophy
to introduce carbon fibre as for the
first time in USMs 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

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 years 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 years
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!

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.

The aim of this project is to research
the integration of a new engine into
our FSAE car. 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

University of patras

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 years 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.

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.

This years 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.

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.

UH Racing is historically and
currently the highest ranked British
Formula Student team.
Our Universitys reputation for
engineering will drive us to push new
technologies to their limits so we can
continue to succeed in the future.
This years 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

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 cars 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 cars
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.

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
Warwicks 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.
