ROSS BRAWN OBE TEAM PRINCIPAL, MERCEDES GP PETRONAS FORMULA ONE TEAM AND FORMULA STUDENT PATRON In my time in Formula One I have worked as a machinist, mechanic, in R&D and aerodynamics, a Technical Director and now as a Team Principal. Hence, I really appreciate the importance of practical experience. Formula Student gives the younger generation of engineers an excellent chance to develop and demonstrate their skills, dedication and determination. It is also a fantastic opportunity for students to learn vital skills outside of their engineering specialisation, such as budgeting and project management. It is this mixture that makes them so employable when they graduate and we have numerous engineers at the MERCEDES GP PETRONAS Formula One Team who competed in Formula Student, including Andrew Shovlin, our Senior Race Engineer. Having been a Patron of Formula Student for the past 6 years, I am also interested by the diversity of entries. People sometimes forget that the teams that have major set-backs during the competition are the ones that learn the most during the process. I applaud the teams who compete competitively on much lower budgets or with fewer resources from their university its important practice for when they are employed in industry. I never fail to be impressed each year by the amount of talent shown by the Formula Student competitors and hope to meet as many of the teams as I can at the event.
JON HILTON FORMULA STUDENT CHAIRMAN Welcome to IMechE Formula Student 2011 set to be bigger and better than ever before! We accepted 10% more teams than for 2010 and will have 125 teams from 34 countries competing this year. Although we were over-subscribed and do not like turning teams away, this is extremely encouraging for the FS series across the globe and proves that it is a good formula. We have aimed to make this years event more engaging for all attendees; from opening up the paddock area for displays, to holding an Acceleration Run-off to add to the excitement of the dynamic events. A small entry fee has also been introduced, to cope with the growing number of visitors each year and to support the developments for the future of the competition. I would like to thank our 2011 Partners, who we could not hold the event without; Airbus, Autodesk, E.ON, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz HighPerformanceEngines, National Instruments and Shell. Good luck to all participating teams and I look forward to seeing your entries!

2011 EVENT PROGRAMME
introduCtion.
Formula Student is one of the biggest educational motorsport events in the world. By tasking students to work as a team in developing a single-seat race car, it offers them the opportunity to undertake reallife challenges and develop skills that will support them when they go on to work in industry. These core competencies include creativity and technical ability, teamwork and communication, logistics and the business-critical areas of delivering projects to budget and deadlines. The basis of the competition is that students are asked to assume that they have been asked by a manufacturer to develop a production prototype for a single-seat race car for autocross or sprint racing. The target customer for the final product is the nonprofessional who enjoys racing and who has high standards of performance and value for money. Formula Student has been run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers since 1998 and since that date has seen tens of thousands of competitors through the process. By inspiring and developing engineers across a range of areas, the competition delivers the Institutions mission of Improving the world through engineering. hoW it Works in praCtiCe At the start of the academic year, university teams start to design their cars. Although there are defined safety standards, there are few restrictions on the overall design to encourage innovation. As the year goes on, all the elements of the car must combine and teams have to make important real-life choices as to engine efficiency, lightweight materials, chassis design and so forth. The conclusion of the years work is the July event at Silverstone Circuit. Judging teams, which include representatives from a cross-section of industries, judge every team on the comparative merits of their cars. All elements of the projects are scrutinised from design, cost of construction and fuel economy to the viability of the marketing plan. More about the scoring can be found on page 6. green neW World As an indication of how Formula Student is responsive to societal drivers and trends, a low carbon category (Class 1A) was launched in 2008 to supplement the main category (Class 1). The cars in this class compete in the same dynamic events as the petrol powered vehicles; the difference between the two classes is that in Class 1A more emphasis is placed on the amount of carbon emissions produced both on the track and in the manufacture of the vehicle. To read more about the low carbon Class 1A, see page 11.

Teams can either enter a running car or compete with just a design concept, allowing them to spread the design and build process over 2 years. The information below is regarding the largest category, Class 1, but the table gives the points allocation for all categories. Please note that further information on Class 1A can be found on page 11. 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. Cost 100 points Here teams provide an accurate estimate of the cost of their car in a limited production. They should be able to show to the judges where theyve spent the money and added value. 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. 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 test and 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. Acceleration 75 points This event focuses on the cars engine performance and drivability and on the suspensions ability to provide maximum tyre grip. Each cars acceleration is measured as the total time it takes to travel down Silverstones pit straight from a standing start. 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. Sprint 150 points This tests the cars manoeuvrability and handling qualities on a tight 800m course. To do well, cars have to be quick as well as nimble around the corners. Endurance 300 points The biggest test of 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 pedal positions, seats etc. Fuel Economy 100 points Efficient design is about more than the way the car looks. Customers will expect their car to be as green and fuel efficient as possible. To avoid penalties cars must achieve a corrected mileage of 26 litres per 100km during the endurance trial.

alternative energy, and this competition gives them the essential, practical skills they need to achieve this. We have deliberately put few restrictions in the rules and these students are pushing the boundaries with some very exciting, revolutionary technology coming through. Class 1A teams are judged on design and their business presentation, in the exact same way as the teams in the main category. However, they are judged on the sustainability of their vehicle instead of the cost. They also compete in the same dynamic events Acceleration, Skid pad, Sprint and Endurance - as the petrol powered vehicles, except more emphasis is placed on the amount of carbon emissions produced. In order to understand how the Class 1A cars perform and what changes might be required to enable all the cars to compete on equal footing, the organisers of Formula Student introduced a mandatory electronic data logger. The boxes measure the current and voltage passing between the electrical storage (battery) and the drive motor(s) on the electrically powered cars, essentially an electric meter, to accurately determine the electrical consumption of the vehicles during the Endurance event. The device also acts as a data-logger for IMechE and the teams to capture information. The 1A cars have been so competitive and well run that the organisers are proposing to make some significant changes to how the competition is run, starting in 2012. The aim is to merge the class 1A cars into the main class, with all entries competing in both cost and sustainability events and greater emphasis placed on fuel consumption. This will further advance the technology used in Formula Student as it encourages students to look forward and understand the sustainable future, which will be essential in the future of engineering. Sam Collins, Racecar Engineering
There is one area where Formula Student is at the cutting edge of automotive technology, and that is in the field of alternative fuels. It could even be said that in this area Formula Student is ahead of Formula 1 or Le Mans A low carbon Formula known as Class 1A was introduced to the event in 2007 to encourage students to research and develop alternative powertrain technologies and increase their knowledge for the future of vehicle design. It was the first time that eco-powered cars were included in an FS / FSAE competition in the world and it allows teams to develop new and novel powertrain technologies, resulting in race cars with low carbon emissions. With few restrictions the cars are assessed on sustainability rather than cost. The sustainability event takes in more than just the fuel the car runs on but also how the car itself is made and how the fuel is sourced. This open set of technical regulations sees hybrids competing against electric cars and those running on bio-fuels. The development of low carbon technologies and alternative fuels in a motorsport environment like Formula Student is extremely fast and everything can be directly transferred to road vehicles explains Jon Hilton, Formula Student Chairman. It will be up to this next generation of engineers to solve problems surrounding vehicle emissions and

end! Graduates with Formula Student experience are prized assets across the engineering industry because of the unique blend of skills and experience that the competition gives them. Since competing I, along with many of my fellow team members, have followed a well-trodden path into industry-leading engineering companies from all over the globe and are involved in exciting projects; not only in Formula One but also in automotive, aerospace, and advanced composites. The strong link with emerging technology and innovation that Formula Student has built up ensures that the experience for the competitors is immediately relevant to the engineering challenges of the future. I have supported the event since graduation in the hope that current and future students can benefit in the same way that I have done. Irrespective of the university they represent all of the competitors derive the same mix of excitement and heart-break that only competitive motorsport can provide. I look forward to seeing the way in which the students have approached the rule changes for this year and am always impressed with the lateral thinking and ingenuity on display.

The previuos two years have proved to be successful for TAU Racing, picking up four awards on the way, including the successful defence of the most fuel efficient car award last year. Last years main aim was to reduce as much weight as possible and in doing so pushed the reliability of the car to almost breaking point. With two years under our belt we aim to improve reliability and become even more competitive. The TAU11 car will be refined even further than our previous two cars. Building upon experience and feedback from previous competitions has enabled us to produce a car more weekend racer friendly. The space frame chassis has become lighter and stiffer, with a tightly packaged engine bay along with some other modifications, including a new suspension wishbone design. The biggest change this year is undoubtedly the new engine - we have waved goodbye to the single cylinder carb and have introduced a fuel injected 600cc four cylinder. With the much increased power to weight ratio we hope to improve our competiveness throughout the whole event. With a limited budget, we are extremely grateful to have the continued support of our sponsors who make entry to the event possible. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The Aston team consists of 20 students from courses including automotive product design, mechanical engineering and computer science. The University will enter its 11th car this year featuring a number of changes from previous years, including a two part carbon fibre monocoque. This enables accessibility at the rear, but retains the advantages of stiffness and low weight from carbon fibre. The carbon fibre structures were entirely student built, as were the front chassis and nose cone moulds produced by resin infusion, marking a new technology developed this year. Compared to past wet layup methods this gave advantages in terms quality, safety and time to build. The car also made heavy use of Astons in house manufacturing capability, for example the CNC milling of gearbox and suspension components. The team this year aims to be successful thanks to a relatively long testing programme, and thanks to some good discipline and hard work we hope to avoid any reliability issues at the competition.

Relentless Team Bath Racing 2011 (RTBR11) is a team of 26 mechanical, automotive and electrical engineers from over 10 countries studying at the University of Bath. RTBR11 started life in March 2010 and led to a Class 2 entry in FS-UK in July 2010, winning the design prize and finishing as overall runner up. The concept has been developed further in preparation for Class 1 entries in multiple competitions in 2011. RTBR look forward to presenting an all new concept focused on weight reduction and improved drivability. With a move away from 4 cylinder engines, the car is powered by a new Aprilia V-twin engine, helping the car achieve a weight saving of over 30kg compared to its predecessors. Extensive engine simulation and dyno testing has resulted in increased torque at lower engine speeds and a flatter overall torque curve. This, coupled with a reduced wheelbase and narrower track, aims to provide improved transient response and drivability. Selective use of composites in key areas for additional stiffness and weight saving, such as the chassis and wheels should provide noticeable performance advantages without significant increases in manufacturing cost.

The FS Bizkaia Team comes back to Silverstone with one objective: being among the best thirty teams. All this seasons work has been aimed to achieve that goal. The car is lighter and smaller than its predecessors, its better adjusted and its performance and reliability have been greatly improved. Although only thirty members are taking part in the FS event at Silverstone, the team is much bigger (almost sixty people) and other team members will have their chance to represent the team at the FS Spain event in Barcelona. Our Faculty of Engineering has a strong tradition in excellence in mechanical design and it has been the teams focus to live up to the expectations. Following a steady evolutionary path, this design has got rid of any past flaws and its been manufactured with the best materials and most precise processes available. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The 2011 Queens University team consists of 4 fourth year students and 11 third year students. This is the smallest team that the university has had and with this in mind the organisation of the team was highly important. With the addition of a very successful carbon fibre monocoque chassis in 2010, the team decided to focus on the dated rear chassis. In addition to this, it was decided that a new carbon fibre centre fed intake system would be manufactured based on data collected to suggest that the current intake was not performing as required. Fuel consumption in the 2010 competition raised a concern within the team. This lead to a comprehensive research project on all areas of fuel saving. Another addition to the car this year is a pneumatic gear actuation system. The design of all components for the new car was completed prior to Christmas to allow sufficient time for manufacture within the university. Testing on the 2010 car has been ongoing to improve set-up and handling. Alongside this, dynamometer testing has been performed throughout the year to optimise the performance of the Yamaha R6 engine. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

2011 sees the 14th year of competing for UBRacing. This year sees the team aiming to improve its overall result at FS compared to the previous two competitions with the focus on development from UBR13 onto UBR14. Detailed development has continued on areas of the vehicle such as engine development, driver interaction and the optimisation of the vehicles custom designed active differential which was introduced in 2010. UBRacing has received rewarding support from a vast array sponsors. Yamazaki Mazak UK has worked to strengthen the designs of the vehicles uprights and differential. The teams approach to the static events and project management has been improved through the continuing relationship with Perkins Engines. McLaren Electronic Systems has kindly continued their support with the supply of its TAG400 ECU with continued work using Matlab and Simulink software. Aston Martin has assisted in the production of the vehicles bodywork. Many thanks go out to all who have helped us this year and with a focus this year on improving the reliability from 2010, we hope we can reward you all by being the strongest of the UK teams here at Silverstone, a feat already achieved last year at Formula Student Germany.

UniBo Motorsport is the Formula SAE team of the University of Bologna. The most ancient university in the world has got a really recent racing team. In fact the team was born at the end of 2008 and the first car started up two years later. UniBo Motorsport is composed of five groups: engine, vehicle, electronic, communication and static events and drivers. The main objectives for 2011 season are: testing the 2010 car, improve engine control and realise an electric-actuated gearbox. The point of strength of the car is absolutely the engine: from the original 108 hp we managed to obtain 92 hp. We are perfectly conscious that power itself is not sufficient to get a winning engine performance so we have invested more and more in engine control, certainly our speciality. Since 2010, we have a completely selfprogrammed ECU (based on a general purpose hardware from National Instruments) with different maps for each cylinder and specific maps for each dynamic event.

In 2011, our team, the BME FRT is building its 4th petrol car, the FRC04. Learning from our experience we decided not to change the basic concept of the latest car (Tubular spaceframe, 4 cyl engine) but to develop and build it more precisely and what is also important, to finish it early in order to test as much as possible. Compared to the FRC03, the car is more than 20% lighter, due to paying more attention to choosing the right materials and CAD optimising. By using MultiBody Simulation programmes, we have designed a completely new suspension and by learning advanced FEM techniques we have managed to design a frame 4 times stiffer. The team also expects a lot from our new ABS brake system which can become a great advantage to catch up with the top teams. This season, we have also started our knowledge transfer process to the new team members and have recruited a Junior Team who are preparing for 2012. We have also begun to advertise technical education in Hungary. By displaying our car we have shown the possibilities in higher technical education for many highschool students, making them more enthusiastic for technology. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The aim of Full Blue Racing this year is to produce a car that is low cost, yet fast and reliable. The team started the design in mid-August in order to achieve early build of the car so a sufficient amount of testing could be performed before the competitions. The team keeps its nocompromise attitude towards design despite the tight schedule set. The major innovation this year lies in the hybrid chassis design, with an aluminium structure used at the rear to replace the original space-frame design to reduce weight as well as manufacturing time. We have launched a new website and sponsorship brochure and held several publicity events to promote the team as well as the competition, which has proved to be very successful. The FBR11 would not have been possible without our sponsors and supporters who have provided vital resources, advice and encouragement - thank you to all those involved. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Cardiff Racing is a team of multi-disciplined Engineering students from first year undergraduates through to post graduates. This years entry, CR07, has been designed mainly by fourth year design students, while the volunteers carry out manufacturing, marketing and dynamic testing. CR07 builds upon the experience gained by the team in previous years. The chassis is a complete monocoque, constructed from lightweight, high stiffness aluminium honeycomb composite panels. The sidepods house cooling and electrical systems allowing space at the rear for more efficient packaging and easier engine maintenance. Power is provided by an Aprilia SXV 550 V-Twin engine with optimised intake and exhaust systems. The engine uses a custom ignition and fuel map developed in-house using the Cardiff University engine dynamometer. Power is transmitted through a student designed aluminium spool that has resulted in faster lap times in testing than a differential. The suspension system is the lightest yet from Cardiff Racing, utilising Fox Van RC dampers. Significant testing was carried out using last years entry, CR06, in order to develop driver controls which were simplified to improve gear changes, and refine the adjustable launch/ traction control which makes the car suitable for drivers of varying experience.

The Chalmers FS team of 2011 is the 9th team since their first competition in 2002. The team consists of seven subgroups; body, frame, engine, electronics, unsprung mass, suspension and technical communications, who have worked together to build this years entry, CFS11. The common goal for the design has been adjustability, stiffness and reliabity and the team goal statement, which was set at the beginning of the project and has been at its core throughout, was set as: Through teamwork and innovation, while learning from previous teams experiences, we will engineer an improved and well-tuned car to reach top ten at FSUK 2011. The goals of each subgroup have been aligned and resulted in features such as its CrMo spaceframe with a torsional stiffness of 3300 Nm/deg, lightweight carbon fibre body, custom foam impact attenuator, paddle shift system, traction control system, carbon fibre rims and four identical cast aluminum uprights. The engine of the car is a Yamaha FZ-6 Fazer, 4-cyl, 600 cc with a wet sump system, modified oil pan and custom dual pick up system. Visit www.chalmers.se/ formulastudent for more information.

The Phoenix Racing team has been entering the FS competition for over ten years now and despite last years car not being finished, this year looks to be the most sophisticated car ever produced at Coventry. The team is solely run by the students with minimal advisors, this is because the ethos of the team and university is to see that all students learn as much as possible. The group of students are split down into teams for chassis, engine and drivetrain with a set team leader for each group. This years car is powered by the traditionally used CBR600 engine and with design packaging as a high priority, this has been packaged into a low, compact and lightweight car. Some advanced features of this years car include an automated paddle shift system powered by engine oil pressure and a hydraulic passive anti-roll control system, to further control the vehicle dynamics. The latter has had industry interest and backing, proving to be a very interesting topic. These features, combined with the teams ethos, management system and personal motivation look to make this years car the most competitive ever. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Its the fourth racing season for Elbflorace, the Formula Student team of Dresden University of Technology. Our team is named after our hometowns namesake Elbflorence, which assigns Dresden as one of the most beautiful cities along the river Elbe. The dream of constructing and manufacturing a racing car started in 2006 with just 18 people. Now the team consists of more than 50 students. After successfully participating in several FS events in 2008 and 2009 we proudly present the 2011 car: Ardor. The style is defined by the one-piece monocoque. Furthermore, it is without any varnish and the surface is only polished. Many other components, such as the airbox, the wishbones and the steering wheel, are made of extra light carbon fibre reinforced plastic as well. One more highlight is our progressive steering system. Manufacturing Ardor was only possible with a dedicated team and the help of our sponsors and supporters. Be anxious to take a look at car No. 47! TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

FormulaDIT was founded in 2008 by the Engineering Department of Dublin Institute of Technology and this year we are entering Class 1 for the first time. In FormulaDIT, there are 15 final year students from Manufacture and Design Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Each student is taking an aspect of the car as their thesis. Our entry, the only one from the Republic of Ireland, has many exciting and innovative features. Some of these features include a rapid- prototyped air-intake system, custom injector manifolds and tuning-fork styled push rods. We have incorporated a Motec M400 ECU to control a GSXR 600 K3 engine. A Kliktronic flat shifter with steering wheel paddles controls the gears quickly and efficiency. To transport the team and car over to Silverstone, the lovely people at Irish Ferries have kindly agreed to sponsor our ferry over. The main objective of FormulaDIT is that even with no experience in Class 1 and a tight budget, we can be competitive against the best of the Formula Student teams. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

2011 is DRIVEs fourth year at FS and our third Class 1 entry. We are a very small team with only a handful of core members, so this year has been a huge challenge, yet an exciting one for all involved. DRIVE 3.11 is an evolution of our 2010 car and we are aiming to lose a further 30 kilos to achieve a total weight of less than 230kg. This will be achieved by reclining the driver and relocating the drivetrain to create a more compact system. The Hubs have been redesigned and constructed from aluminium instead of steel as well as incorporating the driveshaft attachments. An entirely new suspension system has been developed that allows for excellent adjustability and improved dynamic performance. The logistics of getting our team to Silverstone involve a longer drive than many European teams! Nevertheless, we are looking forward to the competition and are confident that we can improve on our 2010 result. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

At the beginning of October the roles of the team were redistributed and the new team captains and heads of each section got together to find a concept for the Tankia 2011. The team leaders found that it was a good idea to make the Tankia 2011 an evolution of last years car. Regarding the results of the Austrian and Italian competitions, the team alumni agreed that the car had a lot of potential which it couldnt demonstrate because of the troubles at the beginning of the season. The team decided to focus on eliminating these problems, professional simulation and organisation. The team is divided into 7 modules, 4 technical ones that are working on bodywork, electronics, powertrain and suspension, getting their perfect environment by the 3 organisational modules: marketing and organisation, IT and x-active which is responsible for team spirit. The TU Graz Racing Team can look back on 8 years of experience, which mainly influenced the development of our 8th car, the TANKIA 2011 alias Tara, which will compete in all four European competitions.

HPF011 is the 9th FS car designed and engineered by Metropolia Motorsport. The vehicle is designed and fabricated by 17 hardworking engineering students. The team consists mostly of Automotive Engineering students. The bodywork design was the responsibility of team members from industrial Design Engineering. Baseplate and side panels are structural parts of the frame and aluminum honeycomb was used as a core material. As a result of the compact frame, the weight-to-stiffness ratio improved by ten percent compared to last year. Assembly of the engine has been eased up with a removable rear subframe. Striving for easier adjustability, the dampers have been mounted longitudinally to a higher position. Uprights are connected to the dampers via push rods. Damper movement is measured with contactless potentiometers which are mounted to the rockers. The steering system has no commercial parts, everything is self-designed and fabricated from the quick release to the wheel. The powertrain is built around a modified Yamaha R6 engine. Two gears have been removed from the gearbox leaving it four-speed. Gear shifting is pneumatically operated through steering wheel paddles or optionally fully automatic. The steering wheel has a self-designed CAN-bus connected controller able of sending eight different parameters to the data logging system. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Heriot-Watt University, from Edinburgh, is entering the IMechE Formula Student event at Silverstone for the second time. The HeriotWatt Racing team consists of 15 dedicated students, working on a purely extra curricular basis. Motivated by the performance at the 2010 event, this years aims are to reduce the overall weight, improve the suspension and handling performance, and to complete the dynamic events. The tubular space frame chassis has been reduced in weight by 50kg. It also incorporates an aluminium rear plate to which the differential and rear springs and dampers are mounted. The weight reduction in the chassis has been taken to full advantage with a complete suspension and steering redesign, creating massively improved handling compared to the 2010 car. The engine performance has also been improved through development of the intake manifold, which is now made from carbon fibre, and the fuelling has been improved to suit this using our dyno. HWR would like to thank the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, and also all of our sponsors and partners, for providing the facilities and support that make entering the event possible.

For the 2011 competition UH Racing have for the first time combined final year MEng/ MSc students with level 4 BEng/BSc to build a single Class 1 car. This combination will give the team the opportunity to design, test and develop a much wider range of concepts in a detail never before achieved, as well as having a broader and stronger knowledge base. The team has already set this into action having completed a kinematics and compliance test, a 7 post rig test along with fully testing last years car UH13 to gain valuable data from the brand new electronics system which is being developed for UH14.
The 2011 competition truly has the potential for one to be remembered. The combination of the merger of all our FS activities into one team and the knowledge and extra team personnel this brings. As well as the return of many team members from the highly successful UH12 team from industrial placements. Our continued focus on the static events which have previously been a weak area and our thorough testing plan will all combine to create the best opportunity UH Racing has had to finally be the first British team to win FS outright.

2011 marks the 10th anniversary of Team HAREs first entry into the FSUK Class 1 competition. The teams main objective is to put in a strong showing in every single event, with the goal being to secure a top 10 overall classification. This year, our team consists of 10 highly motivated students who are managed by 2 team leaders. The design of our 2011 car has focused on reducing overall weight, whilst also standardising as many components as possible. A switch of tyre choice from Michelin to Hoosier has shown a very positive improvement in vehicle performance in all dynamic events. Overall vehicle cost has also been a large consideration in the design process, which has led to a rethink of manufacturing methods and material selection. Driveability and efficiency of the car has also been improved, with extensive dynamic testing enabling us to develop and validate design work on each aspect of the car. We have also optimised our intake and exhaust geometry for strong low range torque, whilst delivering a marked improvement on fuel economy over last years car. New for 2011 are centre locking wheels, an SLS intake system, an all aluminium differential and Electronic Launch Control. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

ISAT Formula Student team was created in 2003, and is composed of 13 students in their first year. The whole team is renewed each year and team members work on this project in parallel with attending Mechanical Engineering courses. The main purpose of this project is to enable students to discover how to design and build an entire car and how to work in an autonomous way. This year is very important for us because we have changed our engine and ECU system. We also tried to work hard on weight reduction in order to compensate for the heavy weight of the new engine. We also decided to enlarge the car and to improve ergonomics for the driver. We thank all of our sponsors and will be doing our best to embrace the best results we can this summer.

Drift Racing Team, NIT Jamshedpur is a student based FS team formed in 2009 by a group of students interested and fascinated by motorsport. It consists of 40 members from various disciplines and years all committed to their work and the team. DR211 is the teams first car that is going to participate in any FS event and surely the team is going to have a great learning experience with it. The team is trying to carve out the best car out of the theories it has learnt over the year. The main emphasis is on keeping the weight of the car to a low and the team is also experimenting with a supercharger so that
maximum power can be drawn from the engine in spite of the restrictor. The team works under two groups: Management takes care of the logistics, presentation and sponsorship matters of the team while the other is Technical and takes care of the components of the car from design to their implementation. The team is very hopeful of a good performance at Formula Student 2011. The team is getting full support from the college and the SAE Collegiate chapter. The team is also thankful to TATA Steel, the title sponsor of the team for showing its confidence in the students.

At the Karel de GroteUniversity College, other students have worked on projects like this in the past but Formula Student is a first here on campus. For our first car we assembled a team of 22 enthusiastic young men with a unique vision of what an FS-car should look like. After a well balanced choice for the engine we decided it was possible - and calculations told us as well - to mount the engine in the passenger seat. On the mechanical side we worked to put out a lightweight, well balanced vehicle that should be a
good all-rounder in the dynamic events. In the Electronics Department we developed an array of measuring devices, whose data can be transmitted through a wireless connection to the crew area or to the people who stay at home (family or sponsors). One thing is for sure: the team worked all year round with their hearts and souls to complete this great project. Someone very close to the project told us the following: Passion drives persistency, persistency drives result! We are all passionate... Lets cross our fingers for a good result.

For the fourth consecutive year, Clear River Racing is once again representing Karlstad University during this annual Formula Student showdown at the Silverstone Circuit. This year, the team consists of 38 students from various engineering programmes, and our aim still remains intact: to build a reliable, high-end racing car ready to reach the top. How will we make this possible? The answer is simple. Clear River Racing is using top products and materials developed by Swedish companies with cutting edge technology. The aim this year is to produce an improved racing car that can go all the way throughout the competition. The total weight of the car is reduced, since we have chosen more efficient parts and the design of the body is lighter. The project is made possible through both material and financial support from local and leading global Swedish companies. We design and produce the majority of the vehicle ourselves in our wellequipped workshop. According to the judges, our previous car had one of the strongest engines and one of the most appealing bodies. This year, Clear River Racing, with our passion and hard work, is positive of success and aims to reach top rankings in Formula Student. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Team KART comprises of 20 students studying in various years of their course. We are an inter-disciplinary team, with students from Engineering and Applied Sciences disciplines. The teams aim this year is to come up with a reliable car and complete all dynamic events in the event. Since we are a very new team in this competition, we aim to set achievable and challenging targets each year to improve and become competitive. The IIT Kharagpur and University of Warwick Formula Student collaboration has also flourished. Two students from Warwick Racing team came over to IIT Kharagpur to work alongside our
team and discuss designs and manufacturing issues. The exchange was very successful not only on the technical side but also for building relations and cultural exchange. This year, our team has explored the possibility of Rapid Prototyping in association with EOS, for the Sump and Air Intake. For reliability issues, we will be testing in the UK prior to the event. Since the car is not shipped in one piece this becomes extremely important for us. The 2011 car is a simple and reliable car and an attempt to lay the path for more intricate and innovative cars in the future. The race car engineering tradition has just begun at IIT KGP

Raceyard Kiel, the northernmost of the German FS teams, started to participate in the FS events in 2006. The team made an impressive debut to the Hockenheim ring being crowned best newcomer in this event. In 2010, the team completed its most successful season so far, finishing 9th at Silverstone. Over the years we have acquired a lot of knowledge which drives our motivation to improve our results every year. Despite being a relatively small university, we have proven that our team is a Top 10 contender and we have worked hard to prove this point again in 2011. New developments on our T-Kiel A 11 include an innovative intake system, which features a fully variable inlet port geometry in order to maximise the torque output over the whole rev band. This contributes towards the driveability of the car, but also improves the fuel consumption. We are confident that these developments can establish our team among the top five international competing universities. We are looking forward to the 2011 competition series and wish good luck to every team for FS UK 2011. We would like to invite you all to visit our pit for further information!

We separate the work into 8 groups of design and start our design with the concept Lean to reduce load for accelerate, cornering and braking. The advantage of our team is that we cooperate with students from the Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Design, and the Faculty of Architecture. We use the knowledge from our classroom such as Thermodynamics, Fluid dynamics, Machine design, and the popular race car book to help in our design. We also use CAD/CAM/ CAE programmes such as Lotus suspension, Catia, Solidworks, UGs, Abaqus and Fluent to help in optimisation. In the process of building our car, we machine our parts by CNC machines ourselves. In the electrical system, we use all of the smart functions that ECU can do. After the competition in Thailand, we broke the record in Acceleration event with 3.94 seconds. We found that at this speed, and we know that we can do it better, we could join in an international competition to prove our car and to improve our knowledge. Our car will be transported via the ocean. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Formula UCLan is a small team of 3rd year Motorsports Engineering and Motorsports Operations students from the University of Central Lancashire in Preston. Formula Student forms a large part of their 3rd year curriculum at the university and sees teams conceiving, designing and manufacturing their vehicles in a 9 month period alongside the rest of their studies. This years entry in Class 1, the FS XI, is a departure from Formula UCLANs usual side-engined layout in favour of a more conventional midmounted engine layout in an effort to improve access and serviceability of the vehicle for the target market. Following this route, the selection of a low weight and high power engine package and use of alternative frame member sizes has enabled the team to realise significant weight reductions over previous entries whilst maintaining chassis stiffness and improving driver access and comfort. This has also allowed the inclusion of inboard suspension systems and anti-roll bars aimed at improving ease of suspension adjustability for the typical user whilst maintaining a lower overall weight than previous entries. The team would like to take this opportunity to thank JD Sports, Protection and Performance and our additional Partners for their support throughout this project and would also like to add a special thanks our Lecturers and Internal Investors for their continual support.

The overriding design philosophy behind Lancasters 12th car is a return to the fundamental principles of Formula Student - to produce a car which: Is cheap to build and maintain Has a high power-toweight ratio Is comfortable and easy to handle by a wide range of drivers Has a suspension geometry optimised for performance Is good looking The steel space-framed car is designed and built by a dedicated team of nine MEng students encompassing Mechanical, Electronic and Mechatronic degree schemes. For the fourth time the car will utilise the innovative Lancaster Links suspension system. Further work has been carried out to understand, justify and optimise this system which occupies the territory where the double wishbone meets the swing-axle. Theoretical work, involving tyre modelling, has shown that the theoretical grip achieved exceeds that of conventional wishbones in the majority of cases. Considerable emphasis has been placed on aerodynamics, with comprehensive CFD analysis of the air induction system and floorpan which has been shown to produce useful downforce at modest speeds. Electronics expertise within the team has been used to develop effective driver information and control systems for the first time. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Last year the De Nayer Racing Team was the first Belgian team ever to compete in the Formula Student event at Silverstone in Class 2. This year, the team will try to repeat the good result of last year in Class 1. As the team consists of both Engineering and Bachelor students, a mixture of theoretical knowledge and practical skills is achieved. The car is built around a lightweight aluminium spaceframe to minimise fuel consumption, and runs on bio-ethanol E85. The engine is a four-stroke engine from a Honda CBR 600RR, and operates with a self-designed intake and exhaust system. The power generated by the engine is transferred to the rear wheels by a Drexler differential and a single-chain transmission. The steering wheel of the car is designed to co-operate with the Main Control Unit to ensure that the driver can access critical information via the display. To further decrease the weight, the suspension is primarily constructed out of carbon fibre and aluminium, while the body is mainly manufactured from glass fibre. The goal of the team is to get the best possible result in both dynamic and static events, to pave the way for future teams of Lessius Mechelen. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The University of Liverpool Motorsport team began life in 2005 and is now entering its sixth year in the Formula Student competition. The team comprises of 20 final year and penultimate year mechanical MEng engineering students. The most significant change for ULM_006 sees the introduction of a rear plate for the tubular steel space frame. An aluminium honeycomb floor gives strength and improves stiffness while keeping
weight to a minimum. With an Aprilia SXV 550 Van Den Bosch edition engine providing the power, the drive is delivered through a Quaife ATB Limited Slip Differential. The car also utilises an electronic gear shifter and a backtorque limiter, while bespoke inlet and exhausts enhance power output. Finally, the team wishes to thank all of our sponsors this year, without them the construction of the car would not have been possible.

In 2010, LJMU racing team entered Class 1 for the first time and achieved a very respectable 21st place. This achievement was an inspiration to the current 2011 team which has managed to maintain many core members from 2010 and has recruited several keen new members. The strategy of the team is to incrementally improve the overall team entry by setting long term projects such as composite chassis panels, active suspension and heat recovery systems. The 2011 design team has been briefed with a strict weight budget for all components. This has resulted in none of the manufactured parts of the 2010 car being used on LJMUs 2011 entry. Comprehensive analysis has been undertaken to ensure a light yet reliable car. Quality and reliability is the forefront of the LJMU ethos and a full data acquisition package has been implemented and tested to ensure accurate data can be fed back and used in the design and analysis of all components. The team has critically evaluated the 2010 performance and identified key areas where competition points can be maximised. Areas such as innovation in design, costing and dynamic strategies have all been identified and appropriate targets set. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Imperial Racing is a team of 32 people from Imperial College London led by four final year students, all working together on the latest FS Class 1 entry, IC06. IC06 has been developed over two years with an emphasis placed on maximising performance and reliability whilst minimising cost. From the outset IC06 was designed to be as compact and lightweight as possible. The chassis is a welded steel space frame comprised of only four bulkheads, minimising overall length, whilst power comes from a lightweight V-Twin Aprilia 55RX
engine. Both the exhaust and intake lengths have been tuned to maximise power and torque along with a fully programmable ECU which provides the option to compromise between performance and fuel consumption. Notable features of IC06 include an automatic clutch which provides a launch control option, a steering wheel mounted gear change system to aid driveability and fully adjustable, lightweight, carbon-fibre suspension provides customisable setup depending on the racing conditions.

Our team consists of 12 enthusiastic engineers and charismatic individuals. What brings us all together as a successful team is our share of a common goal, and that is to finish in the highest position ever in UCL history at Silverstone. To do this our car has been substantially modified from last year to incorporate a paddle shift system and precise suspension geometry - only to name a few. Our car has been built to easily withstand the most gruelling of events - the endurance race - whilst also having the speed to compete with the best that the world of
Formula Student has to offer. We are not only preparing the car for this event but our drivers have also been put under a strict training regime to be able to get the most out of the vehicle. Our efforts were made a reality with the support of the Mechanical Engineering department at UCL, with special thanks to our supervisor Dr Kevin Drake and our Head of Department, Professor Ladommatos. We are thoroughly looking forward to seeing how we compare on track, but most importantly, we are here to learn from our peers and also have a good time doing so!

LUMotorsport is once again proud to be part of FS and is looking forward to a good years competition to banish the bad memories from last year. The teams aim this year has been to develop a car which has significantly improved reliability qualities compared to previous cars, whilst introducing various new components to the car to improve our performance. One of our most significant developments this year has been modifications to the engine, where we have introduced our own intake cam and modified the gear train. By making these changes, we have increased the power and torque output of the engine whilst making the drivers life easier with the inclusion of a pneumatic shift system coupled with the improved geartrain. With all these improvements, we cannot wait to see the car out on track to see how well it will compete and hopefully we will see another UK team in the top 10 this year. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

It is now the fifth year that LURacing participates in the FS competition, and this year we consist of about 50 highly-driven students. The car of this year consists of a full carbon fibre monocoque, which is powered by a Honda CBR600 engine. The goal this year has been to build a car optimised for acceleration and stability which has moved us further towards materials such as carbon fibre and titanium. Parallel with a motor well tuned to find the best powerfuel ratio, we have developed a control system which not only updates the driver with important information about the cars driving dynamics, but also is built with reliability in focus.

Students Engineering Group (SEG) is the first Russian team in the history of FS. SEG was founded in 2005 and since then the team have released three concepts FSM-600-1, FSM-500-2 a.k.a. Adrenaline and FSM-5003 a.k.a. IndiGO!. During these years, team members learned how to survive in complicated conditions. For the last year, the team has done great management work and obtained more support from the university and sponsors. Absolutely, the team has proved its right to existence. So now the team is ready to show a higher quality level. This year SEG presents a new concept: FSM-500-4. The team applied the whole accumulated experience and tried to improve most shortages and defects of previous concepts. The main idea of the project includes simplicity of construction and simplicity of vehicle operation that allows lowexperienced racers to drive and maintain the car. We are proud to take part in such an event, and we want to thank our beloved sponsors and friends because it could not happen without them. Thank you! TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

The University of Manchester enters this competition with a simple yet effective design strategy to follow on from lessons learned in 2010. The small team of volunteers from aerospace, mechanical and electrical engineering backgrounds give up their extra curricular time to take part in the project as it is not integrated into the course at the University of Manchester. A well packaged design along with mathematically backed strategic weight reduction has resulted in the lightest and smallest car to date. The team has considered cost on a larger scale than ever before, cutting down on composite manufacture and switching instead to lightweight aluminium folding. A laser cut tubular space frame provides the base for a modified Yamaha R6 engine incorporating high compression pistons, slipper clutch and intake designed using the Ricardo Wave engine simulation software. In the drivetrain, a Torsen University Special sits in a custom designed, lightweight aluminium 7075 housing. The differential is mounted in 7075 laser cut plates which are then mounted to both the chassis and the engine for increased torsional rigidity. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

This will be the fifth year that Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) has competed in Formula Student. MMU has come a long way since it started in the competition five years ago. This year there will be 2 teams entering from MMU. We are entering a Class 1 and Class 1A car. This years Class 1 entry has been designed and built by a team of 10 final year BEng students and 2 final year MSc students. This years car is a completely new design focused on minimising weight whilst trying to increase the torsional rigidity of the car. A Yamaha R6 engine has been used again in conjunction with a DTA engine management system to allow 3D fuel mapping and ignition advance to enhance boost and driveability. This year we have followed a rigorous design process and project management process to ensure that all issues are identified early on and to ensure that work is completed well in advance of the competition. This will allow us to carry out thorough testing of the 2011 car before we arrive at Silverstone. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

MMR is the Modena & Reggio Emilia University team for the FS competitions. This is the 8th time that the university will take part in the FS competition and 2011s team counts 36 students from the Vehicle, Electronics and Mechanical Engineering, Marketing and Language Faculties. On the newest car we have developed some important features from 2010s car: aluminium spaceframe, 13 ultralight aluminium wheels, high performance fuel injection and a new single cylinder engine. Our first target is: weight reduction. With only 168kg, MM_EVO_XI will try to do a good competition. Our 2011 car is fully designed trying to obtain a user-friendly, lightweight and economical product. Our team worked very hard for 8 months to obtain these goals and we tried to reach these targets in all project areas. All the components have been approached through an extensive use of 3D CAD-EFM-CFD software simulations; we have tried dynamic simulations in 2011 Virtual Formula Competition to optimise the suspensions. We increased the engine displacement, and so we have increased the power, but we have optimised fuel economy with a high performance fuel injection. Last but not least is Racing appeal. MM_ EVO_XI uses a fibre-glass bodywork able to attract the interest of many people, not only a track-day fan. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

In October 2010 a team of 36 young and motivated students started to develop the 8th car of the TUfast Racing Team. After a lot of hard work we were proud to roll out the nb011 out of our workshop in May 2011. In addition to a well designed car, last years season showed that a lot of car concepts can do well at a FSAE competition, as long as it is easily maintainable and reliable. So the challenge of 2011 was to build a well engineered and reliable car. Regarding that we came up with some good ideas for interesting parts for the nb011 and we are looking forward to Formula Student 2011. So now, we are excited to compete with all the other teams and get to know if we did a good job. And after a hard day full of work, we would be happy to chat with some of you guys about our favourite theme and having a good time. Just come over and visit us. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Tecnun Motorsport will be racing in the Formula Student 2011 competition with its new highly improved race car. The FSTEC11 is the result of the ambition and hard effort of the group of 30 Engineering students from Tecnun University of Navarra. With the experience acquired through the previous season, we have chosen to develop a single seater based on reliability and user friendliness. The FSTEC11 will see its weight reduced thanks to the use of composite materials in the new pull rod suspension and the bodywork, the new improved frame design and design refinement. The Suzuki GSXR-600 engine has been tuned in order to improve the power output and the fuel consumption together with a revised version of the intake system. Moreover, in order to know more about our car, the FSTEC11 will be using in-house designed data acquisition systems to be used during testing prior to our debut at Silverstone - something made possible due to the early finishing of the car. We would like to thank the university, our sponsors and partners for their support. Without them our dreams would never become true. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

In 2011, ADFA Racing is proud to present WS-11. WS11 is the 6th FSAE car from ADFA Racing and features a semi-stressed engine, steel space frame chassis, beam axle suspension, a naturally aspirated inline four cylinder engine, on 10 inch aluminium wheels. WS-11 was designed using a top-down systems engineering approach, striving for superior dynamic performance, reliability, simplicity, maintainability, and manufacturability. In order to produce a car representing these qualities,
ADFA Racing have conducted a period of extensive testing including measurement of the CG, compliance testing, tensional stiffness from hub to hub, and extensive dynamic testing using MoTec data logging of tyre temperatures, suspension position, accelerometers, gyroscopes, and various other sensors. The 2011 Formula Student competition is the first overseas event for ADFA Racing (based in Canberra, Australia), but we hope to make an appearance at future overseas events.

The University of Nottinghams 2011 FS car has been developed by 7 post graduate enthusiasts as an extra-curricular activity. Working on a strict budget and a very short time scale of just 9 months, the team has focused on delivering a reliable, well prepared car through substantial track testing and systematic improvements on the 2010 platform. The current car will be used as a test bed for drive-train developments, working towards an allcomposite chassis design for 2012. Key design features include an optimised steel space frame (31kg) with full nodal triangulation, enclosed by a hand-made carbon-fibre body. Vehicle components are tightly packaged, achieving a short (1600mm) wheelbase to suit the tight FS track, whilst comfortably accommodating the 95th percentile driver. The power train features a custom engine-driven dry sump system, 4-2-1 exhaust manifold with stock titanium silencer and an aluminium intake manifold. This, coupled with a new durable wiring loom for 2011, will provide the performance and reliability required to complete all dynamic events and achieve a respectable placing at the competition.

For the current Formula Student season of 2011, the Ignition Racing Team optimised the IR X. Founded in 2006, the team now starts with its new racing car into the fifth season. Thanks to the support of our team members we were able to design and manufacture the IR X. 10 students majoring in different courses analysed but also optimised and solved the defects and problems from last year. The result is a car that is not only faster and lighter but also satisfies with its easy maintenance. We optimised our self-constructed chassis from last years season considering its weight and shape. Due to a longer testing period we reached some of our main goals: Optimisation concerning weight and reliability. We continuously work on the improvement of our results. Due to our increased efficiency rates we expect to improve our performance from last year. The team is looking forward to the upcoming racing season and strives for successful results.

The OWL Racing-Team is a young team, established in 2008. Our first car, the OWL 09 (named after the region our school is located in) finished as the best newcomer on the FS event in Italy 2009. Driven by our passion and determination to achieve success, based on this experience our team has developed the new concept, the OWL 1.1, while implementing a number of advancements and interesting technical solutions in every aspect of the car. In 2011, weve set ourselves new goals. Having reinforced the team with new dedicated students from a variety of fields, we want to place our car under the top 20 of the event in Silverstone and Varano. Specifically for this years car, weve designed a variable intake runner system with our acclaimed iris diaphragm used as the throttle. Moreover, our long term plan is to manufacture an affordable high performance competitive car. Therefore, we always try to get the most efficient parts for every aspect of the car. Its also important for us to involve ourselves in the production as much as possible. We are convinced that this is the best way to follow the spirit and purpose of FS and to prepare the team members as well as possible for their future careers. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Oxford Brookes Racing is a diverse multinational team supported by both undergraduates and postgraduates. Just to mention a few, team members originate from England, Scotland, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, Zimbabwe, Canada, India, China and America. This will be the second of three competitions that the team will attend this year, whilst being the only UK team to attend the Michigan event. This years car has been a radical change to previous evolutions resulting in a car far different to those previously produced by Brookes. Sticking with the usual Oxford Brookes Racings design philosophy, the KTM 530 EXC has been retained to produce a light weight car designed within the manufacturing scope of the team members. Emphasis has been placed upon ease of manufacture and drivability. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Formula Student Portsmouth has built on 2010s design to reduce weight and increase compatibility of the cars systems. Several systems have undergone changes that increase performance, whilst reducing manufacture costs. The target for 2011 is to race a competitive car in all dynamic events. FSP-3 has been designed with reliability in mind, while considering the lessons learnt from previous years cars. This years team consists primarily of 1st year students, bringing new ideas to compliment basic designs, special focus was applied to the cars intake and exhaust as well as the drivers interface, in the form of a simplified gear-change system and more detailed information displayed to the driver. A Torsen differential has been integrated into our drive-line to increase track performance, and an Accusump will be used to maintain pressure in our modified lubrication system.

The 2011 Ryerson car is the teams most innovative and powerful car to date. Brand new engine components (including an improved intake and exhaust) work in conjunction with each other to produce more power than ever before, all while having a wider torque band. Gear ratios allow the driver to stay within the torque band as long as possible. Composites have played a major role this year with the inclusion of a fibre glass fuel tank and carbon fibre body panels. This years steering wheel will be completely carbon fibre, housing a versatile electronic dash. Wrought Magnesium uprights, which were designed and machined in-house, ensures that the upright assemblies can withstand any force applied to them, yet are lighter than comparable aluminium uprights. Data acquisition and integrated sensors provide improved feedback from the car during test and race conditions, whilst also enhancing the fine tuning of the engines mapping capabilities.

The Saar Racing Team consists of 25 students. We designed and built our 5th car, the SRC05 (Saar Racing Car 05). The goal of the 5th season was to design a car, which has a good drivability, reliability and low weight. Because of the various engine problems in the past we decided this year to use the four-cylinder in-line engine of a Honda CBR 600RR. To compensate for the higher weight of the new engine we tried to reduce the weight of the other parts. We reorganised the team structure due to the fact that many new members joined our team. We managed to reduce the manufacturing costs and time. Our racing car was built more manufacturing friendly. We tried to complete the car very early, to have enough time for testing and tuning our car. This season, we are trying to get a better placing in the dynamic events, but we are also concentrating on the static events, to reach a better overall placement. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Our team consists of 60 students from all faculties from the University of Applied Science Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. We are proud to be part of the Formula Student event in Silverstone for the first time. For our car [dzi:] 11, we developed some very nice parts. In order to reduce the unsprung mass we developed carbon fibre a-arms, wheel hubs made from titanium, and forged aluminium rims made form Otto Fuchs KG with a weight of only 2.4kg. We optimised our frame to be stiffer, lighter, safer and to integrate all mountings into the structure to get a better force flow and to make the fabrication easier. We also advanced our engine and drivetrain package, we modified our air intake system, the cylinderhead, all bearings inside the engine and the drivetrain to get maximum power to the wheels and to the ground.

The University of Southampton runs the project as a 4th year dissertation involving 12 students per year split into chassis and powertrain groups, supplemented with other engineering students for event preparations. The university has not entered the competition since 2005 due to a complete redesign. The resulting car is a compact, mechanically simple assembly which we expect to perform well in the handling and endurance events, although there will be considerable weight saving potential for the 2012 competition. The team is using a Citroen 2CV engine, modified for fuel injection, due to its simplicity and compact design - it is air cooled and has an in-built clutch and gearbox leading to direct-drive half shafts. With minimal funding from the university and outside sponsors, the team has designed and built the car with cost in mind. This has led to many challenges in achieving an optimised design with maximum power/weight ratio. However, we are very pleased with the result and hope that this is the start of a long and successful period for the universitys Formula Student project. As always, we are grateful to our sponsors and the University of Southampton for the help and support they give, making the project possible. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Since the foundation in 2005, one of the most important reasons for success of the Rennteam Uni Stuttgart was to set clear goals right from the beginning of development of each new car. The same has been done for the F0711-6. By having the focus on completing the car as fast as possible, the aims of finishing the endurance and winning the competition complete the three major goals.The long period of intensive car testing ensures a reliable and powerful racecar. In order to reduce both weight and fuel consumption, several new concepts have been implemented into the F0711-6. A new fuel type promises lower
fuel consumption as well as higher torque at lower rpms. The CFRP Monocoque with a tubular space frame rear was chosen to improve accessibility and maintenance of the entire power train. Every detail of the suspension system was redesigned resulting in further weight reduction. With the F07116, the Rennteam has once more managed to build a competitive car and will try to repeat last years success. We are looking forward to the international competition. The team is excited for the FS season 2011 to begin.

SU Racing has been attending Formula Student since 2004 and since then has improved with every car. The 2011 team is made up of a small team of just 7 highly motivated and driven individuals headed up by two 4th year BEng students and a BSC Chief of Design. The SU11 is the product of three years of development of SU Racings series of Honda CBR600 cars. Being built using lessons learned from cars entered in the 09 and 10 competitions, the car is to be the lightest and most powerful Sunderland car to date, with the reliability issues experienced in previous years ironed out. The car is powered by a HRC Honda CBR600 RR lifted from an Isle of Man TT bike, incorporated into an aluminium honeycomb monocoque chassis, a first for Sunderland. The main focus of the SU11 has been to reduce the cars weight to less than 220kg, to develop a car that has perfect dynamic handling and improved reliability. Improvements have been made in every aspect of the car, including a total redesign of the suspension system, transmission system, induction system and improved purpose made wiring loom and electronics, all to compliment the lightweight aluminium honeycomb chassis.

For 2011, the SURTES team has built on another years experience in Formula Student to achieve further improvements in vehicle power and a reduction of mass to below 190kg, whilst greatly increasing reliability. Drawing on previous experience in design and manufacture of both steel space-frame chassis and CFRP monocoque chassis, the team has developed a highly optimised CFRP/spaceframe hybrid chassis. The result is a CFRP monocoque front chassis mated to a steel space-frame rear chassis incorporating the main roll hoop. This design offers many advantages, the most important of which are improvements in engine bay access and reduced mass without a damaging reduction in torsional stiffness. Reliability has been carefully considered in the design stage this year resulting in improvements to many vehicle systems. A key development has been in a new fuel system with in tank fuel pump. The team has also moved to an ECU controlled electrical solenoid based gear selector system which reduces reliability issues associated with the previous pneumatic design. In a bid to reduce reliance on external suppliers, the team has been working to bring the production of composite tubes and other composite components in house. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

With the 2010 Mobil 1 Team Sussex failing to compete dynamically, the 2011 team has been working hard to improve all aspects of the design. The team consists of ten talented Masters students who have devoted their final year to establishing the reputation of the University of Sussex in the FS competition. The chassis incorporates a stressed design, which is a first for the Mobil 1 Team, aiming to reduce the size and weight of the overall concept whilst improving its performance. The Powertrain team focused on producing a more driveable engine, achieving this by implementing a new plenum chamber design as well as taking a different approach to engine mapping. Low end torque was increased, and linear power delivery was optimised for a smoother, more progressive engine.

As always, here at Swansea Metropolitan University, we hold reliability in high regard. This has stood to us in the last number of years, regularly finishing amongst the top of the UK teams. Our contender for 2011 is no exception, and with testing commencing in March we have worked on some exciting dynamic developments including both tyre and differential programmes, showing a substantial increase in performance. The use of strain-gauges during testing has allowed us to validate FEA carried out on all components giving us a better understanding of how long parts will last, helping to avoid costly failures and also has been a help in allowing us to reduce weight further. Our small team of diversely skilled undergraduates has been focusing on improving the car in all areas. Developments include a thorough weight reduction programme, including the integration of composite technology where possible. A completely re-worked chassis design, retaining the T45 spaceframe layout, has been designed around our CBR600rr engine. Back to back dyno testing with different fuels, plenums and cylinder heads has allowed us to optimise the performance. The final product is an overall more elegant, driver focused, and lightweight machine. Thanks to all of our sponsors who make this possible. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Hardly a novice anymore, Team Fateh will now enter its fourth year of FS competitions. This year brings about a new change, better improved strategies and all in all an improvement on our predecessors. With features like the push button solenoid gear shifters, aluminium wishbones and an impressive CBR-2005, this year does look bright for the team. Melioration in the ECU department should prove to be essential in our teams success this year. Also, seeing that the team has managed a respectable reduction in weight of the car, not to mention that the bodywork has been moulded and shaped in our very own workshop, is an indication of the resources provided and utilised to their maximum efficiency by the team. We would like to thank our sponsor. TARKSHYA (winged horse personifying the sun) is ready for Silverstone!

When taking shape in 2005, the project SquadraCorse was gathering no more than ten people and could count on a very small amount of funding and resources made available almost exclusively from the Polytechnic of Turin. This year, for the development of the SCX^2, the seventh prototype of the team, SquadraCorse may rely on more than fifty students and boast collaborations with sponsors that are internationally wellknown. Moreover, a strong renewal in the organisational structure of the team has created all the conditions for a more effective and strong
collaboration between the divisions and the members, which have been able to conduct in a proactive way all the operation necessary for the completion of the project. This seasons car, more than ever, is a natural child of the passion of the group and for this reason we are sure that it is not going to leave us disappointed under any circumstances. Following the development history of SC cars, we have chosen to keep the tubular steel frame architecture with portable engine support, the Honda CBR 600cc engine and pneumatic gear actuation.

the parts of a car from books, the internet and other teams. Our car is scheduled for the first completion in April, and will be run to be checked for both the condition and the movement. After testing the car, there will be one problem which is the transmission of the car costing a lot of money before participating in the competition. All of our members are looking forward to travelling to the UK. See you at the Silverstone Circuit!

The TU Darmstadt Racing Team e.V. decided to split efforts between combustion and electric project teams in 2010. The foundation for this years electric racer, the epsilon-E, is our CFRP monocoque from 2009. Since there are no blueprints or even major guidelines to build an electric racecar yet, the project team had to start completely from scratch. Teamwork and the exchange of knowhow between our two project teams are both very essential in the design process. We also worked very closely with our industry partners to develop a new and efficient drivetrain and energy storage. The cars advanced electrical safety system has many automated features to keep the driver safe from overvoltage. For safety

After ten successful years in the combustion class, the DUT Racing Team will this year focus on a fully electric Formula Student car. This first electric car has a primary focus on the end-user, the amateur weekend racer. The design focuses on the needs, demands and limitations of this particular driver. As such, the car is easy to drive due to a good feel with the throttle, brakes and tires. Also, the ergonomics and safety is taken in to account, the car is spacious and all the setups are easy to adjust. The beating heart of the car is formed by two electric motors and controllers from AMK Antriebe. These are fed by lithium ion polymer batteries which are placed behind the driver. With a peak power of 55 kW, a total energy of 5.7kWh and a weight of only 180 kilograms, the team will show the world that the Delft Concept also works for an electric car. Being a team of over fifty technical students from the TU Delft, the team strives to be one of the top teams in the Class 1A competition in England with their first electric car: the DUT11.

In an exciting and quite successful first season the TU Graz e-Power Racing Team demonstrated without any doubt that the innovative electric technology is able to compete with traditional petrol-engined racing cars. The biggest challenge in our previous season was the integration of an electric drivetrain into an existing chassis. For the current season we concentrated on a perfect placement of all components in our new chassis, for which we used a complete different production process. All of the valuable experiences we gained last year influenced us a lot. Every component was analysed in terms of durability, efficiency and safety. Great value was placed on an advanced motor control to gain more power out of our batteries. Our whole team is looking forward to a new great season. Especially the fact of the increasing number of teams, which are starting in Class 1A, promises an exciting Formula Student event. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

UI Racing Team entered the FS challenge as a blank page. The team is the first of its kind in Iceland and none of its members have taken part in the competition before. Our goals are ambitious for a first year team and thus the learning curve has been steep. We have entered an electric car which will have been designed and built in a year. Our primary goal is to build a car that will pass the judges scrutiny and be eligible to compete. Our second goal is to successfully complete all events at the competition. As a first year team, this goal is not easily attained. Extra attention to detail has been crucial to our teams progress thus far. UI Racing has acquired a plethora of advisors who have become critical to the teams learning experience and not least to its future success. Team members are also encouraged to independently seek out expert advice from professors and field professionals. The team is very active in holding events where all members can come together, such as Go-Karting, weekend work trips and snorkeling. Few members of the team were acquainted before signing up, but these events have created a tight-knit group. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

This year MMU Racing has designed and built its first electric vehicle. In addition to this we have started a number of development projects that we hope to introduce onto electric vehicles over the next few years. The car we have designed this year is to be used as a prototype car on which to develop and refine our designs. The power train that has been designed utilises 2x PMDC motors purchased from LMC Motors which have been wired in series and flexibly coupled at the shafts. This means that we get plenty of torque delivered to the wheels instantly. A lot of work has been put into designing the motor controller algorithm and we believe that the control will allow the car to accelerate without excessive wheel spin. The batteries that we are using have been provided at a discount by LifeBatt, we will be running a 96V 2.88kWhr LiPo4 battery pack. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Stuba Green Team from Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava was founded in the autumn of 2009 with the idea of developing the first student electric race car in Slovakia. The team has 30 members and consists mainly of students from Mechanical Engineering and other fields of study. The chassis of our second FS race car, the SGT-FE11 is designed on the basis of our first electric race car. According to the experiences that we gained during last years season, we have redesigned the whole drive train. Electric propulsion system of our race car consists of one AC electric motor, double chain drive, Drexler differential and LiPol batteries. The suspension geometry was further optimised with extensive computer simulations and the weight of chassis components was reduced. The electric system is maintained with our self-made battery management system and the central vehicle control unit. This was possible only with the extensive help of our partners and sponsors, for which we are grateful. We are looking forward to the FS competition and hope that it will be great fun for all. See you at Silverstone! TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

After our first electric car, Furka, gained the overall first place in 2010, we plan to continue the path of success with our new race car novena. With 15 novices our renewed team is young and hungry. This ambition led to a car that is lighter, smaller and more efficient then Furka. The special features are our two selfbuilt motors that weigh just under 10kg each, producing a peak power of 35 kW. As the AMZ is famous for extreme lightweight construction, we tried to continue the tradition by building a car that should be able to aim at the magical 200kg barrier. To reach this goal we tried to make every part as light as possible leading to a one piece carbon fibre monocoque, carbon fibre rims, a self built twostage gearbox and carbon fibre driveshafts. This year our goal is to win the design event and the dynamic events by being the fastest car on the track (including the combustion cars). TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Innovation meets Tradition - if you look at Zwickaus automotive history you can easily find out why we picked out this slogan for our team. Zwickau is the birth place of Horch and Audi, and furthermore in the 1930s, it was the domicile of the Auto Union race cars which dominated the race tracks in Europe. Almost 70 years later our WHZ Racing Team was founded. Now in 2011, we bring our second full electric car to the tracks. The FP511e is a further development of last years successful car, concentrating on packaging, calibration and reliability. We created a fast and dynamic car with four independent motors and self-developed electronic components. Nowadays, our team consists of about 60 members from a variety of faculties of the UAS Zwickau. This team has worked hard and efficiently to upgrade its results for the season 2011. If you would like to see more of our car we are looking forward to meeting you at the competition. For more information visit our homepage www.whz-racingteam.de! TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

Force Edinburgh Racing is the University of Edinburghs first entry into the Formula Student competition. As such, our first target must be to lay the foundations for the team, financially and technically. Following these immediate goals, we aim to position FER as a standing tradition in the university - an arena for applying academic ideas to the real-world and a training ground for young, talented engineers. Taking into account our relative inexperience, the chassis for this years competition has been designed with a great deal of flexibility in mind. Hopefully this will provide us with a stable platform as the team continues to grow, while increasing experience and resources allow more incredible innovation.

LUMotorsport is entering the Class 2 event for the first time this year with a team of 6 enthusiastic individuals. LFS12 is built on the dynamic performance of previous cars, with emphasis on understanding this performance. With a new Honda CBR600RR 07 engine, lowered driving position and rear plate concept encompassing all aft suspension pick-up points, rocker & damper mounts and all drivetrain mounts, the overall vehicle mass will be reduced by 15kg and the overall centre of gravity height reduced by 25mm. Simulation tools have also been developed and validated to predict the vehicles dynamic behaviour.

White Eagle Racing is a team that represents Warsaw University of Technology. The abbreviation of our team name - WE Racing constitutes our keynote at the same time - we are a group of young enthusiasts of racing sports. Our main objective is the creation of our own car as well as its continuous improvement further on. To obtain this goal we have divided up into six subteams who work for the common success: a faster, less expensive and easier to operate vehicle.
The UWE Racing team comes to Silverstone looking to build on their debut from last year. The team is still young and very much in its formative years, but there is good enthusiasm for the project at the university - which has been taken on as an extracurricular activity for engineers. Last year the team had a solid score in the design event, but underperformed in the business presentation and costing. This years goal is for the team to finish in the top three for the business presentation, as well as maintaining a good score in design. The team is split into three design disciplines to cover the full design of the car, each with a team leader to co-ordinate their efforts with other teams. Each team has made significant improvements to last years design.

The Aston University Class 2 team is composed of 1st and 2nd year students, studying a range of courses including design and engineering. The team is working on a new electric concept that will take Aston in a greener direction in Formula Student, and will be developed to compete in the Class 1 category in the future. While still looking to achieve a competitive overall weight, the team is working towards achieving a battery and electric motor powertrain to match or better any internal combustion system alternative.
From City University London, we are a 4 member subset of the City Racing Team. We are working solely on the design of a petrol engine and flywheel mechanical hybrid transmission which can be interfaced with the current CRT Class 1 entry for the 2011 Formula Student competition. We will present the design this year and hope to enter a running car with the flywheel system in 2012. One of our main activities has been the development of a custom-built flywheel energy storage unit capable of running at 20,000rpm. The flywheel is constructed entirely from recyclable materials.
