Major advances have been made by Polar Bear Racing team at the University of
Manitoba for the 2010 season. A driver integration system has been designed
which includes electronically controlled brake bias with sensor feedback and a
large LCD to relay vehicle diagnostic information. The suspension system which
now incorporates a Controlled Load Path system to interlink the front and rear
suspension using custom hydraulic cylinders will enhance grip and vehicle
control. Signifcant weight reduction was accomplished with the construction of
a full carbon fbre monocoque. The vehicles powerhouse is a naturally aspirating
CBR600 F4i controlled by a DTAFast ECU. The 2010 entry is complete with an
aero package including a diffuser riding at 28 mm above ground creating 490N
of downforce at 60 km/h. Custom 6061 T6 aluminum uprights and hubs are
used to mount Keizer magnesium wheels for the Goodyear FSAE tyres. With the
implementation of such designs, the 2010 Polar Bear Racing vehicle will be a
serious competitor.

The 2010 car, FW-10, aspires to improve upon team successes of years past
with a new engine program, improved suspension kinematics, completely
reworked tubular space frame and emphasis on driver ergonomics. The team
set its focus on increasing reliability while shedding weight. Simulation played a
immense role during the development process. GT Power and DOE methods were
used to develop the rapid-prototyped intake and two-piece stainless exhaust. A
partnership with CFdesign allowed fow analysis to be conducted for the cooling
system, intake and body, while Racing by Numbers was used to model the
suspension system. In addition to simulation, empirical testing was a priority.
Several muffers were tested on the chassis dyno to reveal performance and
acoustic gains. Testing of various shear panels to fracture resulted in lightweight
solutions. The intake, venturi and head were all fow-tested to improve upon the
base design. Two versions of the dampers were dyno-tested to dial-in to the
desired damping ratio, and the impact attenuator was crashed in a sled test
courtesy of CAPE. The result is a well-packaged and engineered FW-10 that the
team is proud to present!

Istanbul Technical University FSAE Team is a frst year competitor in the Formula
SAE. The newborn FSAE Teams frst goal is to build a challenging car. To
impress the judges, fascinating view with combination of ergonomics is our
second goal. In chassis design special importance was given to durability and
reliability. Our impact attenuator is chosen by very detailed physical tests with
high speed cameras. This allowed our team to test various materials in real
conditions. Suspension system, one of the most important subjects of the car, has
a convenient damping rate for better stability and concerning performance. After
calculations for shock absorbers, it has been decided to carry a choice on bell-
crank and pushrod mechanism. Besides the suspension system, steering system
was designed to have good handling, stability and linearity. Since the brake
system has an enormous affect on performance and safety, brakes are used on
each front and rear sides also supporting the independence between front and
rear with the aim of a better stability and balance on cornering.

This being our second year competing we are trying to take all that we learned
last year and roll it into a car that we hope will be a big step forward in terms of
speed and reliability. This being said we have still developed a new differential and
redesigned our corner assemblies, taking huge amounts of weight off of each,
and tried to trim some weight off every other component we could. Now that we
have designed something we feel has a chance at a top thirty fnish we just need
to make sure it will complete the enduro, and on to spring testing we go.
As always a big thanks to our sponsors, family and friends with out your support
none of this would be possible.

For the 2010 Formula SAE competition, Panther Racing followed a strict design
philosophy of simplicity and weight reduction. The space frame chassis is
suspended via double A-arm independent suspension with dampers loaded
directly to the frame from the lower A-arms. Also featured in car #85 are fully
adjustable front and rear anti-roll bars, as well as a simplifed hand shifter
with foot actuated clutch. Improved cockpit layout, predictable handling
characteristics, and in-house dyno tuning make car #85 a true contender for the
2009-2010 season.

The Villanova University Formula SAE team is coming off its very frst competition
ever last year. The VU-01 fnished in the top 20% of registered teams in the
endurance/fuel economy event at FSAE Michigan fnishing 62nd overall, a very
impressive feat for a frst year team. This year the team will be bringing the
VU-02, a progression of the previous vehicle. The car is a much lighter and much
faster version of its predecessor.
The car features a completely new frame that is lighter and stiffer than last
years car. The team has also redesigned all of the driver controls, uprights and
suspension rockers, braking system, exhaust components, and wiring harness.
These improvements will help to achieve the teams goal of removing over 100lbs
from the car compared to last year. The team is also going to have more time
to tune the car, and optimize suspension set-ups for all of the dynamic events.
The goal is to improve upon the overall fnishing position by competing in all the
events, fnishing in the top 30 teams overall.

ARG10 is Cornell Universitys entry in the 2010 Formula SAE Michigan
competition. The design of ARG10 takes into account all aspects of the
competition and represents Cornells vision of what tradeoffs must be made in an
FSAE racecar. Components are not designed individually, but rather with the entire
system in mind. This ensures that all interactions and interfaces among parts
and subsystems create the best performing package. In order to accomplish this,
decisions were made using a points analysis system that included, but was not
limited to factors of cost, weight, manufacturability, and reliability.

Bradley Universitys design criteria for the 2010 year is to reduce the overall
weight of the vehicle, lower the center of gravity, increase power and reliability.
The frame is a 4130 Chromoly space frame that has a torsional rigidity of 1600
lbs/degree and weighs 75 lbs with all tabs mounted on the frame. Unequal length
double a-arms suspension is used for the front and rear of the car. The front and
rear suspension uses pullrods with Fox Racing dampers with titanium springs
vertically mounted to the frame using progressive 1.7 ratio rockers. Ackerman
steering was incorporated into the suspension design and is adjustable for 100%,
120% and 150% Ackerman geometry. The front camber is also adjustable
through the use of camber plates from 1.5 degrees to 3 degrees. The drive train
incorporates a 2001 GSxR600 motor with a CVT transmission to ensure the
motor is operating at peak power levels during acceleration. A custom intake
was designed to reduce the maximum rpm range to 10,500 rpm where peak
power will be made for optimum CVT operation. Bradley expects a top fnish in the
acceleration event

The University of Wisconsin Platteville has been involved in the Formula SAE
Series since 2003. Their Formula team has been, and will continue to be a
team that prides themselves on ambitious design and implementation of new
ideas. After having an educational year in 2009, they are enthusiastic for the
2010 Michigan Competition. In 2009, the team primarily focused on improving
engine horsepower and torque, decreasing overall vehicle weight through detailed
analysis of its chassis, drive-train and suspension components, and re-designing
the suspension for better maneuverability and handling. This year the team built
off of those goals to create a car that now rivals its predecessor. Goals for 2010
consisted of re-designing some of the suspension components to further improve
handling, conducting further analysis on the chassis design through fnite element
analysis and strain gauge testing to improve its strength to weight ratio, and
putting a stronger emphasis on manufacturability and cost. Engineering new,
reliable, and effcient vehicle components to implement in their Formula cars gets
them excited for competition every year!

After winning the William C. Mitchell Rookie Award last year, ThunderWolf racing
is poised to be very competitive at FSAEM 2010. The lessons learned from last
years event allowed us to focus our design efforts towards creating a lighter,
more powerful, better handling, more tightly packaged race car with a lower
CG. Quantum leaps were made in the areas of frame triangulation, suspension
kinematics/dynamics, power production, and mass reduction. Switching from
a spool to a Torsen differential and tripods reduce rotating mass, and improve
cornering and fuel effciency. The engine mounting has also been vastly improved,
increasing strength while decreasing the removal/installation time. A custom
oilpan and exhaust system allows the engine to sit lower. The Kevlar body and
diffuser help to reduce drag and overall mass. Suspension has changed to a
pullrod design with adjustable dampers. Many thanks to all our sponsors who
allowed this project to happen.

The 2010 Auburn University Formula SAE Racing Team is made up of 14 section
leaders (32 years combined FSAE experience) and 8 new members. The team
designed the 2010 vehicle to be reliable, easy to manufacture, and able to meet
performance targets for weight and event times. The Aprilia SxV550 engine has a
fat, smooth torque curve and puts power to the road through a student-designed
Salisbury limited-slip differential. The electro-pneumatic shifting system and
launch control program give quick acceleration times. Unequal length suspension
links and 4-way adjustable dampers help the FSAE-spec Michelin tires reach their
potential in corners and on the skidpad. Many hours of testing helped verify the
performance and reliability of the vehicle and allowed the drivers to improve their
performance in each event.

The 3rd car of the University of Patras Formula Student team is the most
sophisticated and advanced until now. The best features of the previous cars
were retained and optimized upon, while others were thoroughly revised. The
major change from the previous car is the chassis, where a full length carbon
fber monocoque was favored against a spaceframe one, seeking for the
optimum torsional stiffness and weight. Aiming to further decrease the overall
weight, a single-cylinder Yamaha WR450 motor was selected to power the
vehicle, transmitted over a chain and sprocket with the addition of a Drexler LSD
differential. A multi adjustable suspension system was designed emphasizing
on ease of set up and adjustability, which would render the car agile and fast on

For the 2010 season, the Knights Racing garage has produced a vehicle that they
feel will be the most competitive vehicle yet to roll out of the shop. The KR10 has
been completely redesigned from the tires up, to be the best it can be.
The chassis is both torsionally stronger and lighter than the 08 and 09 cars,
and while dimensionally smaller the 10 car has more driver room due to
better planned driver controls. The suspension geometry has been completely
redesigned with all components designed by the team tweaked to try and remove
as much unsprung mass as possible. The drivetrain is similar to 09, with the
Honda F4i being used for its unfailing reliability, but new to 10 is the use of the
Haltech Platinum Sport 1000 giving us fully sequential fuel and spark control.
The drivetrain is also similar utilizing a Torsen differential in a custom aluminum
housing. Braking is handled by Wilwood PS1 calipers, MCP master cylinders, and
outboard disk brakes. The bodywork this year was kept simple with the use of
Lexan side panels and a fberglass/Kevlar nosecone.
Overall Knights Racing feels strongly that we have produced a highly competitive
car for the 2010 season.

The FSSRacing team is proud to present its F2010 Formula SAE. This years car
is an improved version of the F2008 car which competed in Detroit in May 2008.
The main design orientations for the F2010 car were the optimization of its weight
distribution and the stiffening of chassis/suspension interfaces. The rear portion of
the chassis has been shortened by 10, enabling more load to be distributed on
the rear wheels while keeping the same wheelbase. This year, we come back with
our 2008 turbocharged Yamaha Genesis 80FI engine from a Phazer snowmobile
which drives a CVT transmission. The new features are the dual stage chain
and sprocket reducer as well as a new custom engine management system. We
provided our car with a better packaging due to our short reducer as well as our
new turbo and exhaust set-up. To sum up we worked in providing a more refned
overall design as well as a restyled bodywork. With this all, we created a car in
which we have high hopes.

Crimson Racings design objectives for the 2010 FSAE entry are to design and
construct a reliable, competitive, and enjoyable race car. A secondary objective
is to allow for ease of manufacture and to create good value in the overall target
cost for producing the vehicle in quantity.
In the sixth year of design and competition, we have practiced fve years of
continuous improvement of our race car design relative to the competition. We
seek the most rigid frame design, a perfect suspension, and the most effcient
engine and drive train. Thorough studies have repeatedly indicated that perfect
subsystems mean nothing if they cannot be integrated properly with the rest of
the car. For 2010, our main design goal has been to utilize our experience to
design every part, not only to improve part performance, but to ensure system
compatibility with every other part.
Performance expectations for the car have been set high so that this years
entry will be better than the last. At the conculsion of the 2009 design year we
gathered our design team to determine which systems of our vehicle needed
most improvement or better integration.

The 2010 University of Minnesota UMN10 is the 10th vehicle produced by the
university since 1996.
With the current effort started back up in 2008, the team has focused on
establishing a maintainable program which not only produces a well designed car,
but also produces quality engineers with an understanding of performance vehicle
design fundamentals. Drawing from our past experiences this years design
is an iteration from our prior vehicles. Priority was placed on vehicle weight,
compact packaging, increased data acquisition, and the use of highly developed
and common manufacturing methods. These were taken into account while also
maintaining and increasing driver comfort and control.
Thank you to all our sponsors!

Built from the ground up over the last year, the Florida Tech 2010 competition
car is simple yet effective. The chassis was designed to ft the teams varying
body types, while the suspension was designed to be adjustable depending on
what performance characteristics were desired. The changes include adjusting
front and rear toe, camber, and suspension travel. The drivetrain was chosen to
provide the needed horsepower while giving the driver complete control on the
course. Through rigorous Finite Element Analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics,
Materials, and feld testing, the design evolved several times from rough sketches
to the current design.
The goals for our team are: to design a car capable of performing at a high
level of competition, to complete each FSAE event, and to place higher than any
previous Florida Tech team.

The University of Cincinnati Bearcat Motorsports 2010 car is engineered to be
a winning solution for both the amateur and experienced racer alike. Careful
balancing between performance, reliability, and cost will leave the autocrosser
burning up the track, not their hard earned dollar. To increase performance
the vehicles weight, inertias, and center of gravity height were minimized;
predictable response and drivability were optimized to improve the driver
performance. Reliability drove designs to be robust to resist the abuse of
driving at the limit. Cost lead to simplifed designs, inexpensive materials, and
commercially available components. Ample implementation of varying set up
options, intelligent packaging of components, and ergonomic considerations
allow for numerous tuning options, for easy maintenance, and for the driver to
drive, not fght the car. Attention was taken to design the car as an integrated
system with increased safety.

Our major design priorities are reliability and simplicity, weight reduction and
emphasis on team work, leadership and persistence along with technical
competence for creating a winning car and establishing a foundation for future
teams.
The use of mild steel tubular space frame chassis was based upon the ability to
manufacture in house with existing skills and equipment as well as the inherent
damage tolerance and reparability of such a structure. The main roll hoop
supports integrate with the rear bulk head which performs several functions.

INTRODUCING THE NEW FIESTA
fordvehicles.com
Theres a lot you can get in a Fiesta. A class-exclusive
4" multifunctional LCD display,* standard. A PowerShift
six-speed automatic transmission.** Thats the kind of
engineering that makes it more responsive and still keeps
it fuel-efcient.
The Fiesta also has available keyless entry,

push-button start, voice-activated SYNC
and even
ambient lighting. All told, thats as much high-end technology
as many premium cars. Hows that for high tech?
ITS A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
