Welcome to Formula Student 2012. We were once again over subscribed, however we are delighted to have 132 teams from 37 countries participating at the 2012 event. This year there are vehicles with alternative powertrains including hybrids, electric vehicles and alternative fuels. We are especially pleased to have new teams from counties such as Pakistan, South Africa, Norway and Egypt.

This year, for the first time, all teams with running cars will compete in a single class. The regulations for electric vehicles have been aligned with the FS Germany electric rules to make it easier for teams to compete in both competitions. The cost and sustainability events have also been merged and the fuel economy event is being judged on the CO2 produced.

I would like to say a special thank you to our 2012 Partners; Airbus, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes AMG HighPerformancePowertrains, National Instruments and Shell – we are extremely grateful for their support.

Good luck to all teams attending the event and I look forward to seeing you at Silverstone Circuit!

JON HIlTONfOrmulA STudENT CHAIrmAN

I have been involved in Formula Student for a number of years now, and the levels of innovation demonstrated at the event never fail to amaze me. With over 2000 students from 34 countries competing in one class this year, it should be a very exciting event.

Formula Student is a fantastic initiative which gives its entrants the freedom of design to test their ingenuity, whilst also providing practical experience of working to specific deadlines, budgets and regulations.

Having worked my way up in Formula One from a machinist at the Williams team in the 1970s to Team Principal at the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS team today, I have been involved in many different

aspects of the sport, from being a mechanic to R&D and aerodynamics. I know that practical experience is invaluable to any engineer.

Whilst Formula Student can provide a grounding in motorsport, with many of our engineers at MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS having taken part during their university days, it also provides the foundations for all forms of engineering if students wish to take their career in a different direction. I have no doubt that the skills learnt by participating in Formula Student will help towards the achievement of future success.

Good luck to all of this year’s entrants and I look forward to meeting many of you at the event.

The largest student motorsport event in the world.

Formula Student challenges university students from around the world to design and build a single-seat racing car, which is then put to the test at the famous Silverstone Circuit. Students work together on the car, developing their creativity, technical abilities, teamwork and communication skills, as well as learning how to deliver projects to budget and deadlines.

The competition offers teams the opportunity to undertake real-life challenges and logistics, and develop the skills they’ll need when they go on to work in industry.

Run by the Institution, since Formula Student was inaugurated in 1998 tens of thousands have come through the competition, with graduates now featuring in every Formula One team. Its key aims are to inspire the next generation about the possibilities of engineering and address the skills shortage in engineering.

The brief:

Teams are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to develop a production prototype for a single-seat race car for autocross or sprint racing. The target customer for the final product is a non-professional racer, with high standards for performance and value for money.

How it works:

At the beginning of each academic year, university teams start to design their cars. Although they must work to defined safety standards, there are few restrictions on the overall design, thus encouraging innovation. As the year goes on, all the elements of the project must combine – and teams have to make important real-life choices about design, cost and materials.

The conclusion of the year’s work is in July’s competition at Silverstone. Teams of judges, including representatives from across industry sectors, scrutinise all elements of the cars, as well as cost, fuel economy and design, even the viability of the marketing plan. Scoring information is on page 6. This year, for the first time, cars running on alternative fuels will compete as part of the main field. Check what fuels the cars are using in the team list, starting page 18.

Formula Student is:

• A high-performance engineering project

• Viewed by the motorsport industry as the standard for engineering graduates to meet, transitioning them from university to the workplace

• The kite-mark for real-world engineering experience

Improving the world through engineering

EvENTS & SCOrINg

Teams can either enter a running car or competewith just a design concept, allowing them tospread the design and build process over 2years. The information below is regarding thelargest category, Class 1, but the table givesthe points allocation for all categories.

TeSTIng TIMeSAs Formula Student aims to develop well roundedengineers, each team is assessed not only on theircar’s performance and their understanding ofthe engineering behind their design, but on theiroverall business proposal. This is done in aseries of static and dynamic events.

STATIC eVenTSDesign 150 pointsStudents must be able to explain how theircar’s materials, components, and systems cometogether and how their design meets the needsof the intended market.

Business Presentation 75 pointsIn this event, the judges play the role of thepotential investors. Each team has to present abusiness case that sells their concept to them.

Cost and Sustainability 100 pointsHere teams provide an accurate estimate of thecost of their car in a limited production. Theyshould be able to show to the judges wherethey’ve spent the money and added value.They are also required to understand how muchenergy is required to produce their powertrain.

DYnAMIC eVenTSBefore being allowed out on to the track tocompete in any of the dynamic events, theteams must first pass technical and safetyscrutineering, as well as the tilt test and brakeand noise tests.

There are five dynamic events, all designed totest different aspects of the car’s performance -an important part of any team’s business case.

Skid Pad 50 pointsIn motorsport straight line speed isn’teverything so the skid pad lets teams show howwell their car goes round corners. Cars need tohave good lateral grip to complete a figure ofeight in the quickest possible time.

Acceleration 75 pointsThis event focuses on the car’s powertrainperformance and drivability and on thesuspension’s ability to provide maximum tyregrip. The measure of acceleration is thetotal time it takes to travel down Silverstone’s pitstraight from a standing start.

Sprint 150 pointsThis tests the car’s manoeuvrability andhandling qualities on a tight 800m course. Todo well, cars have to be quick as well as nimblearound the corners.

endurance 300 pointsThe biggest test of the teams is the 22kmendurance race where cars have to prove theirdurability. There is also a mandatory stop,driver change and hot restart that really testsreliability and the team’s ability to efficientlymake changes to pedal positions, seats etc.

Fuel economy 100 pointsEfficient design is about more than how thecar looks. Customers will expect their car to beas green and fuel efficient as possible. Top electriccars should achieve 125 grams of CO2 per kmduring the endurance trial.

JAmES PAINTErENgINEErINg lEAd – vEHIClE INTEgrATION, BlOOdHOuNd SSCI took part in Formula Student as part of Bath University’s BURT02 team in 2001 and 2002. For the first year we took part in the design category (then called Class 3), where we won with a perfect score. In 2002 we took part in the full event, and came 11th. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we achieved a tremendous amount with a small team of eight great people.The competition taught me a lot. The technical skills were

obviously important, but it’s the things you can’t pick up in a lecture theatre – teamwork, the importance of effective communication and developing relationships with suppliers that proved just as useful when I was starting out on a career.After a few years in the defence industry working on jet engines I moved into motorsport and worked on a number of sportscar projects, including a 2 litre LMP3 car and a diesel Le Mans Sportscar Programme. I also worked on the development of exhaust energy recovery systems (EERS) for the automotive industry, designing turbochargers and turbogenerators. Two and a half years ago I began working on the BLOODHOUND Land Speed Record project. I’m now responsible for leading the integration of all the components inside the car, not easy when they include a Cosworth Formula One engine, an EJ200 jet engine and a hybrid rocket! The role is very broad, in the same week I can find myself working on the design for a Formula one engine intake, a 500litre jet fuel tank and a gearbox for the rocket pump. BLOODHOUND is breaking all sorts of new frontiers – designing a car that is capable of accelerating to 1000mph and stopping again safely presents many unusual challenges!

Hear James talk about his work at the FS Business Networking Day in the Pavilion on Friday 13 July. He’ll be on from 10.30, along with four other speakers, and while you’re there you can check out our exhibition featuring stands from top automotive and manufacturing companies.

ANdrEW SHOvlINCHIEf rACE ENgINEEr, mErCEdES Amg PETrONAS f1 TEAmI took part in the first Formula Student back in 1998, as part of the University of Leeds team. Back then there weren’t many teams but the experience taught me a huge amount. The teams that came over from the US – where FSAE events had been going for some time – offered a real learning experience in terms of how advanced they were. Their cars were finished to an incredibly high standard and the teams were so much more

organised and better funded than the UK entries at that time. The performance of our car was pretty good, not as fast as the American teams but quite respectable. Unfortunately we had a few reliability issues that affected our overall position, some of which were self-inflicted... However, it was a useful experience for the Leeds University team and they went on to finish 30th in the 1998 FSAE competition in America.I finished my PhD that year and got a job with British American Racing (BAR) straight afterwards. I actually had my interview during Formula Student – they were based just up the road in Brackley, so I popped out for a few hours on the Friday and headed up there. It was useful to have something to talk about and I actually spent most of the interview talking about Formula Student and some of the design and engineering challenges we had faced developing the car. After a few years doing vehicle modelling at BAR, I became a performance engineer in 2001, doing a lot of data analysis and simulation work. In 2004 I became race engineer on Jenson Button’s car, and worked with him until 2009. I then became Michael Schumacher’s race engineer in 2010, and since 2011 I’ve been Chief Race Engineer at Mercedes.FS helped me a great deal: I learned an awful lot which was enormously useful during the early stages of my career. The way Formula Student is structured means you get a very good insight into the design lifecycle of a racing car. You are forced to provide all the analysis that backs up your decisions. That has helped make it something that is hugely valued within the industry. When I took part 15 years ago not many people knew what it was; now everybody in the industry does.

UNIvErSITy OF STUTTgArT, gErmANy

TU mUNICH, gErmANy

Rennteam Uni Stuttgart began in 2005 and is proud to present its 7th car in 2012. Most of the active team members spend almost all their time in building and testing the car to prepare for competitions.

This year’s concept is a lightweight 10” wheeled car with a powerful 4 Cylinder Honda engine. The

Rennteam is known for its very special and lightweight uprights, like one can see on this year’s car. Of course highlights like Hybrid rims and a combined oiltank and oilcooler don’t miss.

Having been quite successful last year in Silverstone, the team is very ambitious to achieve the same goal.

In October 2011 a team of 32 young and motivated students started to develop the 9th car of the TUfast Racing Team. And after a lot of work we were proud to roll the nb012 out of our shop in May 2012. In addition to a well designed car, last year’s season showed that a lot of car concepts can do well at a FSAE competition, as long as they are easily maintainable, lightweight and reliable. So the challenge of 2012 was to build a well engineered

car and reliable car. Regarding that we came up with some good ideas for interesting parts for the nb012 and we are looking forward to Formula Student 2012. 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 topic and having a good time. Just come over and visit us.

UH Racing has only one aim and that is to become the first UK team to win Formula Student.

Following last year’s successful collaboration of Masters and Undergraduate students, UH Racing is looking to build upon our 3rd place overall. The team has a well-defined structure including a core managerial team overseeing all aspects of the car. The broad knowledge and experience of its 30 team member’s makes UH Racing a strong contender and one to watch this year. UH Racing has only one aim and that is to become the first UK team to win Formula Student.

Following last year’s successful collaboration of Masters and Undergraduate students, UH Racing is looking to build upon our 3rd place overall. The team has a well-defined structure including a core managerial team overseeing all aspects of the car. The broad knowledge and experience of its 30 team members makes UH Racing a strong contender and one to

watch this year. Drawing upon a wealth of existing Formula Student knowledge the team has focused its attention on data driven designs. Strict performance targets were identified for each vehicle subsystem and every design has been reviewed with respect to the original design criteria. This year’s strategy continues to develop statics but focus heavily on the overall dynamics of the team in order to operate efficiently and realise our full potential.

Winning is the only thing that matters, everything else is a consequence of that.

After 4th place at Silverstone last year, the Chalmers Formula Student Team of 2012 has a lot to live up to - and our ambitions are set accordingly. We have learned from past experience and been inspired by a reliable design from the CFS11. Experiences include the need of keeping the car quickly and accurately adjustable to keep up performance in shifting track conditions. This is reflected in the design of our suspension, engine, electronics and aerodynamic package - focusing on accessibility and simplicity of adjustments. Among this year’s more visible features is an advanced aerodynamics package developed extensively using CFD

and the Chalmers wind tunnel model, making our car not only well-performing, but also quite intimidating. Watch out, fellow Formula Students!

We could not have done it alone. Our industry partners are helping us grow and evolve, and we have a detailed plan of the evolution of our cars looking towards 2016. However, here at Chalmers our focus is not just on building the fastest car. Our true objective is to deliver the engineers of tomorrow. At the end of each year, while the car is moving towards retirement, 30 skilled and enthusiastic engineers have barely (kick)started their career.

TTUG Racing is a team that is rich in tradition. For almost a decade, there is a high fluctuation of volunteering students but the spirit and passion within the team stayed the same ever since.

Every year, the main objective is to find the right balance between power and weight. In recent years, we used an engine that was amongst the most powerful on the track. This year, we made a turn regarding this concept. The focus is now on lightweight and agility rather than merely power.

The chassis has become slimmer, the tyres smaller and we shortened

the tread as well as the wheelbase. And we even went one step further: we switched the engine from a heavy 4-cylinder to a single-cylinder KTM. As we consider ourselves to be a student’s version of Formula One, we go along with the downsizing trend of our “big brother”.

As a result of our changes, we estimate a much better fuel consumption and more agility. These improvements will provide the driver with enough confidence to stick it into the bends and prove our point.

The Delft University of Technology (DUT) Racing Team consists of sixty students from different faculties of the TU Delft, in the Netherlands. The team is unique in its systematic approach in design and project management. Nine full-time managers, together with fifty-one part-timers, dedicate their whole year to designing and building the second generation electric car, by Delft. The end product is the DUT12.

The DUT12 is the first four wheel drive car ever made by the DUT Racing Team. After the success of the DUT11 in last year’s alternative fuel competition it is now time to show the world the true majesty of electrical drive.

The team started thinking about how the ultimate electric car should look like and found their ways in the focus on lightweight in combination with one motor per wheel. This will take care of an optimal dynamic performance and maximum regenerative braking capabilities, resulting in a fast and more energy efficient car. This is in our opinion the best fulfilment of the Delft Concept: lightweight, efficient and fast!

The DUT Racing Team is sponsored by AMK, DNV KEMA, NLR, Volkswagen, SKF and many more, supporting their passion for engineering design.

UNIvErSITy OF HUddErSFIELd, UK

QUEEN’S UNIvErSITy BELFAST, UK

This year Team HARE has embarked on the largest redevelopment program in the team’s 11-year history. The team has moved from a four cylinder Honda CBR 600 to a KTM single cylinder engine. With this move the team has been able to redevelop all the major components of the vehicle to dramatically reduce the overall mass, however, reliability has not been compromised with the use of extensive test work coupled with FEA optimisation. Even with

this extensive redevelopment program the team has met the manufacturing schedule which has enabled extensive test work to be completed to optimise the vehicle.

The team’s aim for this year has been to develop the overall project to maximise the potential points on offer for each competition. The team believes that using this strategy will result in Team HARE’s most successful year to date.

The team consisted of 7 final year students and 14 third year students.

One of the main objectives of the team this year was to develop a new composite system for the construction of the chassis. A resin infusion system was developed in house for the construction of the moulds for the chassis. An out of autoclave composite system has been utilized for the manufacture of the chassis itself removing the need for autoclave time. These systems have allowed us to become self sufficient in the construction of our composite chassis.

The team has also designed new unsprung mass systems with the addition of centre locking wheel nuts.

The design of all components was completed prior to December to allow for sufficient time for manufacture within the university. Testing on the 2011 car has been ongoing throughout the year to improve handling, car set-up and reliability.

Alongside this dynamometer testing has been performed throughout the year to optimise the performance of the Yamaha R6 engine. The team has also developed a custom made exhaust silencer and bespoke composite intake manifold.

HErIOT-WATT UNIvErSITy, UK

The team consists of 10 MEng students, allocated 16 weeks to take the LR12 car from concept to final build. The focus this year has been on a lightweight, easy to manufacture design – ensuring ample time for testing and tuning.

This is Lancaster’s 13th year of entering FS, and the 5th consecutive year of using the Lancaster Links suspension. This alternative take on wishbone design minimises the effects of squat and dive, maintains optimum camber through the corners, and has been customised for easy fabrication and assembly on the LR12 car. The relatively small team size has provided the opportunity for every

member to be involved in every aspect of the car, creating a truly multidisciplinary environment that has broadened every member’s skillset. Regular progress updates from each member have kept the project on its tight schedule, and involved the sponsors and supporters in every step of the process.

Based on a chassis designed by a team member as his 3rd year project, every component of the LR12 car has been designed under the ethos of continual improvement; making the best use of materials, CAD techniques and modern manufacture techniques.

HWR-03 is the team’s third entry to the Silverstone competition. From the very start the project was organised and planned by introducing a new structure allowing the team to be more productive and efficient. This year the team has concentrated its efforts on reliability with the aim of completing all the dynamic events. The team has doubled in number from 12 to 25 students from Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Robotics and Cybertronics, and Mathematical physics.

In order to reduce weight the team has utilised carbon fibre in key

This year, University of Strathclyde Motorsport enters its 12th car, USM12, to both the Silverstone and Hockenheim events. The team has built on the new multi-year group management structure implemented last year as plans continue to lay a strong base of knowledge and experience to secure the long term future of USM. The expansion into the Strathclyde Business School has also allowed the appointment of a Commercial Director for the first time in the team’s history.

USM12 has taken a more evolutionary approach as the basis for the design, with a number of significant improvements across the car. Following the engine upgrade last season the team aims to learn and build on the experience gained and hopes the continuity will give the team the opportunity to exploit more on track performance. The car features redesigned suspension geometry and packaging with a move to Hoosier tyres.

The University of Strathclyde has continued to give their full backing to the unique challenge Formula Student offers. The university appreciates the great benefits available to the students involved with the project and has started to integrate Formula Student into the curriculum for senior years.

The University of Strathclyde Motorsport would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to all team sponsors, partners and supporters. Without their help and encouragement the team would not be able to succeed in competing at Formula Student competitions year after year.

Team Bath Racing 2012 is an all new team of 25 talented mechanical, automotive, electrical and aerospace engineering students from the University of Bath working full time on developing a new car for the 2012 competition. The students of TBR’12 have a wide range of experience, encompassing many practical and theoretical areas of engineering and racing. Building on the success of last year’s entry, the team aim to be competing to win this year.

Team Bath Racing pride themselves on producing a lightweight spaceframe car, giving optimum performance and cost. The continued use of the Aprilia RXV550, with a range of powertrain updates, ensures the ultimate combination of weight saving and performance. Careful use of carbon composites ensures maximum performance improvements for minimal cost increase.

Unicorn Race Engineering comes from Aalborg University. The team consist of members from a variety of studies, and ranges from early bachelor to masters students.

Members of the team are motivated by the chance to put their academic theory to the test track. The philosophy of the team is to always get the most of the members’ skills and time, keep an open mind towards new ideas and have a productive and fun environment to work in. Building G5 was only made possible by the team members dedicating

spare time to the project. The work was carried out with a flat structure giving a substantial natural diffusion of knowledge. New members to the team are this way gradually introduced to the aspects of race engineering, ensuring that Unicorn retains the knowledge and skills obtained from now building 5 cars.

The main objective of G5 has been to reduce weight. We have among other things upgraded dampers and differential, and thereby reduced the weight by ~10kg compared to G4.

The University of Manchester enters this competition with a simple yet effective design strategy to follow on from lessons learned in 2010 and 2011. 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 Ricrado 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.

It is the second car for UNI Maribor Grand Prix Engineering. We are entering FS UK, FS AUT and FSG. The highlight remains the unique aluminium spaceframe. To lower the car’s mass, composites were used for suspension arms, wheels, bodywork, seat, floor, intake, oil sump, steering wheel and throttle pedal.

A lot of work was done on engine internals (new pistons for higher compression ratio, rotated camshafts for different valve opening diagrams). The suspension aims to provide optimal camber curves and the ability to offer

different heave and roll stiffnesses. Quick-shift system is simply a DC motor, changing gears in under 100ms. Custom made diff housing is as light as the most expensive commercial units. With a sophisticated DAW system, including vehicle slip angle sensor, we were able to compare tires from two different manufacturers and improve our simulation based on TTC data.

While studying to become engineers, we like to believe we are racers!

In the years up to 2009 our first racecar was built, so we were ready to race in FSUK Silverstone and FSG Hockenheim in 2009 with the “RacePony09”, a combustion car. During this season the team gained so much know-how that they were able to build the winner combustion car of Barcelona 2010 the “RH10”, called the RaceHorse. After this success HorsePower went for new challanges and began constructing an electric race car, the project ”eH11” was born. The result of the 2011 season was a

substantial progress in the static events, our first steps towards electrified mobility and an extremely fast accelerating and agil e race car. By working with this know how and establishing new structures of organization, the HorsePower team, with now more than 60 interdisciplinary students, is looking forward to a great season 2012.

A season with a vision: HorsePower as a union that engineers future-orientated race technologies and educates its members in practical skills in addition to the theoretical studies. But also a sustainable network with our partners with the students’ future in mind.

LUMotorsport is a volunteer organisation representing Loughborough University, the UK’s top university for sports and engineering.

In 2012 LUMotorsport consists of 8 senior team members responsible for all aspects of the car including manufacturing, chassis, suspension, electronics and engine technology. Supporting them this year are 20 “fresher” team members and 7 members currently on industrial placement. LFS12 is designed both by the team and by students in academic modules.

This year, the car features a radical design, a cast aluminium modular rear frame, which is 22% lighter than the steel space frame of 2011.

This frame mounts the engine and the rear suspension and allows for the engine to be accessed in a matter of minutes for examination.

The front of the car consists of a redesigned steel space frame with carbon fibre body panels, the design focusing on driver ergonomics for the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male.

The car comes equipped with a modular electronics system featuring advanced data logging, traction control and launch control with a pneumatic shifter and clutch.

LUMotosport is contesting in 3 events in 2012: FSUK, FSAustria and FSGermany; the team’s goal is to finish in the top 10 of each event.

This year’s Viking is the 5th generation of racecars from SDU. Up until now the team have been using combustion engines, but this year the powerful Yasa-750 electrical engine is used, which is powered by a battery pack of Nanophosphate lithium batteries.

The new drivetrain meant that a lot of the practices and technologies used in earlier cars, could not be used. That is why this year’s project called for a whole new level of innovation. SDU Vikings has always been very keen to develop their own solutions and avoid plug

and play solutions. Some of the main objectives for the Viking V is a competitive car, smooth design, low weight and good handling.

The 34 students from the University of Southern Denmark have been working very hard, to construct this powerful little car. The team would like to thank all the sponsors and partners, who made it all possible. All the students are proud to present this brand new concept, and are looking forward to compete in this year’s Formula Student competition.

36UNIvErSITy OF THE BASqUE COUNTry, SPAIN

We base our strategy on being serious and respectful to the competition, training our drivers and testing the single-seater as much as we can before competition (reliable cars beat fast cars) and making a thorough preparation of the static events. To do so, the group leaders of the team meet at least twice a week, to keep everybody on the same page, and team members work on the car every single day.

Since most of the new team members have only a basic understanding in design and manufacture (our program is completely voluntary, not a class or any kind of graded activity), we make a strong point of organizing internal training, like CAD tutored sessions, basic manufacturing hands-on workshops, etc. Practice is everything. This is often misquoted as ”Practice makes perfect”.As we have no (reasonable) way of taking the monocoque route, we have to rely on a high powered engine, while reducing weight by other means such as

diminishing thickness and volume of the bodywork, or using lighter materials such as aluminium.

We also take advantage of FEM analysis while designing every part, so we can optimize their geometry. When the parts are manufactured, it is vital to validate that data.

Of course, year by year we try to improve the car design, and this year we are introducing several improvements such as a pneumatic shift(faster tan mechanical), limited slip differential (improved behaviour in curves), and also we are focused in introducing more environmentally friendly materials all around, minimizing the trade-offs in performance.

At the beginning of the year three goals were set. The first goal was to build an all-new powertrain, focusing on reliability and efficiency. The second goal was to have a high level of finish, including a special paintjob.

The third goal was to finish early to provide lots of testing time. Whilst the focus was on the powertrain, the development of custom tires continued. As it always seems to rain in the UK, it was time for the next step in tire development: custom profile rain tires. By close cooperation with partners, reliable components have been produced whilst reducing the overall URE07 weight significantly. For more information see www.universityracing.nl. Let’s race!

Here is the answer: Aix-la-Chapelle, which is the French name for Aachen, is at the border triangle of Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.

Racing has a history in this region: many German Formula 1 drivers were born in this region and race tracks like the Nürburgring or Spa-Francorchamps are within a one-hour drive. Furthermore, our neighbour, Belgium, had a very successful team named “Ecurie Francorchamps”. From this name we adopted “Ecurie”, the French for “stable”.

Elbflorace e.V. is the fascination of Formula Student in Dresden, Saxony. With its variety of different fields of studies, TU Dresden is a perfect place for a Formula Student team. The team Elbflorace was founded in 2006. After three combustion cars, we have now manufactured our second full electric Formula Student racing car. For the new creation we used all information gained from last year’s vehicle and manufactured a smaller and lighter race car. The EFR05e02 consists of a two-parted CFRP-monocoque with a hatch at the rear for better maintainability. The vertical split monocoque is assembled with medical adhesive.

The self-developed single-stage double spur gear is situated in the new self-constructed motor housing. Each gear connects one high-speed spindle motor with the drive shaft on the rear axle of the car. The wishbone inserts of the new vehicle are optimized to make sure that the adhesive is covering every surface which is needed.

“MMR MoRe Modena Racing is the Modena & Reggio Emilia University team for the 2012 Formula Student, and our new car is presently known as “code EVO XII”.

More than thirty students from Bachelor to Master degrees, ranging from mechanical, electronic and vehicle engineering are the soul of the team, which this year is participating in Formula Student for the ninth time running. The 2012 car is developed on top of the knowledge acquired over the years, improving all areas of the vehicle through a careful rethinking.

Main features are:-Spaceframe aluminum chassis with structural paneling-Monocylinder Husqvarna engine

with a 117 bhp/litre specific output-Helmhotz resonators with check valves-5 and 10 bar double fuel injection system-Pneumatic gearbox with in house developed ECU

As a result, the car benefits from a low weight, flat torque curve and great fuel economy. The project development took over 9 months while the whole team worked together to reach the set targets. All the EVO XII components were designed using CAD, CAE, FEM and CFD software. Moreover, the car was designed to be highly performing but also eco-friendly, with 95% of its components completely recyclable.

Mobil 1 Team Sussex is looking to build upon the relative success of the 2011 team. For the first time in its (short) Formula Student history the team managed to compete in, and complete every event, and with that achieved a final position of 34th.

2012 Mobil 1 Team Sussex is a multi-disciplinary team consisting of 8 fourth year mechanical engineering students, 10 third year mechanical and automotive engineering students, 4 product designers, 2 business students and 2 media students. One of the objectives of the 2012 team was to widen the profile of Formula Student within the university;

we are doing this by getting as many people from other disciplines involved as possible. The University of Sussex is a young, fresh and vibrant university with a growing reputation for excellence.

One of the best ways to achieve a better finish this year is to reduce the total weight of the car. The team’s objective this year is to finish in the top 20, an objective that is well within reach of this talented young team.

Mobil 1 Team Sussex would like to thank all of its sponsors for their support, in particular, Mobil1, Palmer and Harvey and Ricardo UK.

This is the fifth year of LURacing’s participation in the Formula Student competition, and this year we consist of about 20 highly-driven students. The LUR5 features a full carbon fiber monocoque, and is powered by a Honda CBR600 engine. The goal this year has been to build a lightweight car optimized for acceleration and stability which

has moved us further towards materials such as carbon fiber and aluminium.Along with a motor well tuned to find the best power-fuel ratio, we have developed a control system which not only updates the driver with important information about the car’s driving dynamics, but also focuses on reliabilty.

“MOBIUS” is the name of the new car from “Initial Team”, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, Thailand. Our team was founded in 2005. The strong point of our team is the collaboration between engineering students from the Faculty of Engineering and industrial design students from the Faculty of Architecture. We are separated into eight groups: engine, frame, suspension, steering, electronic, driver-train, body and brake.

The concept of our design is “innovation”. The new innovation points of “MOBIUS” are CVT (continuous variable transmission), 10 inches carbon fiber wheel

and single cylinder engine with turbocharger. As a result, we can reduce the car weight from last model’s 237kg to 180kg. We use the knowledge from our classroom and the popular race car technology books to help us for car design. In order to reduce the greenhouse gas emission and unburned hydrocarbon, we choose renewable oxygenated bio-ethanol E-85. Moreover, it can be produced from sugarcane and cassava in Thailand.

This year is our second entry to the UK’s FS competition. We got a 24th place in overall ranking in 2011. This year we will do better than last year’s result.

Clear River Racing is the Formula Student racing team from Karlstad University, Sweden. This year we are competing with our fifth consecutive car, the CRR12. The team consists of 36 students divided into seven sub-groups, each responsible for their own area of the car. The major differences from previous years are the addition of a new group - Drivetrain Development, carbon fibre suspension rods, a biodegradable impact attenuator core and an overall more aggressive look. Furthermore, more extensive calculations and simulations have been taken into consideration

when constructing the exhaust and intake systems to increase overall engine performance. Traction control combined with an in-house constructed pneumatic gear shifting is something we think will further increase the performance of our car. To be able to collect as much data as possible in order to, for example, make the proper suspension set-up, additional sensors have also been fitted to the car.

Furthermore, we would like to thank our sponsors and Karlstad University for their support. We aim to position ourselves among the top fifteen teams.

FormulaDIT’s 2012 vehicle is based around a Suzuki K6 engine and a more compact frame than previously. Weight reduction has been a priority and substantial success has been achieved through the use of carbon fibre bodywork. Improved ergonomics have been achieved in terms of driver position and pedal box location. Driver feedback has also been much improved through the use of a new dash and full on board telemetry. The dry sump is an original design featuring a three stage scavenge pump and aluminium sump plate. A newly designed bell-crank mechanism focused on delivering

improved agility. The electrical system has been designed with significant attention to its reliability and maintainability.

A main sponsorship deal secured in Spring 2012 with Volkswagen has proven to be of significant benefit to FormulaDIT’s development. The team also maintain strong links with Xelvin and OC Turning, our other sponsors. The team will ferry their vehicle from Ireland for the competition.

The Monash Motorsport M11 is the team’s first ground up redesign since 2006. Thanks to KTM, the team was able to smoothly make the change from a four cylinder CBR600-RR to a KTM 450SX-F, the move to a smaller engine aimed to reduce weight and fuel consumption. Taking advantage of the 2011 aerodynamics rule changes, the M11 runs a full wing package and undertray providing over 100kg of downforce at 60km/h. Thanks to new Goodyear D2704 tyres the M11 can make the most of the added grip. The M11 was

completed four months prior to its first competition, and as such, has completed 1200km (equivalent to 54 endurance lengths) before arriving at Formula Student UK. While the aim of the M11 was to remain competitive with this new design, the team’s expectations were surpassed when it won the FSAE-A 2011 competition for the third consecutive year. The team is looking forward to competing in FSUK and hopes to improve on our 2010 results. A special thanks to Hoegh Autoliners for making this trip possible.

The integration of this project in our school curriculum makes the data and knowledge transmission difficult, so we have tried to give the most clear and complete data and reports possible at the end of our year.

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 data acquisition hardware, thanks to our sponsorship with Bosch Motorsport.

We are e-gnition Hamburg, Hamburg’s first electric Formula Student team. As a newcomer team we aim at building a race car in the short time of a little over one year.

While concentrating on building a ready-to-race car, we still work on implementing research subjects like, functional surfaces such as “shark skin”, or the implementation of a highly connected electronic data system with the ability to access in real time from outside the car and thus allow real time analysis of the car’s performance.

To achieve these outstanding key features of the first e-gnition racecar, we work closely with the

university’s institutes as well as industry. Together with our main sponsor NXP Semiconductors, we implement the company’s products and develop a new usage of such in an electric racecar.

e-gnition Hamburg stands for the vision of building an electric racecar, regarding environmental aspects without suffering in driving pleasure or emotional attraction. We combine the best local technologies of aircraft engineering, material sciences and automotive electronics into our first racecar.

Dynamics – by definition: “(…) the effects of forces on the motions of bodies”. There are many reasons why in December 2006 this became the name of our FS team. We, the Dynamics e. V., are a group of racing enthusiasts, who form a strong team, eager to work hard to constantly move forward and achieve our goal: building a competitive vehicle from scratch during the period of an academic year. Therefore students from the various fields of studies offered at the University of Applied Sciences in Regensburg, Germany put their

effort, growing know-how gained during lectures, and physical hard work into all the stages of constructing, operating and marketing their race car, which is this season’s RP12. The numerous competitions are the highlights of each season, where teams from all over the world participate. They are yet another motivation, which everybody is looking forward to, because in the performance of the self-made vehicle, finally all the hard work of the previous months, pays off.

Team Cape Speed was established in 2011 with the aim of developing Formula 1 race engineers in South Africa.

Cape Speed encourages students at all levels to become part of the team; as a result, the team consists of a combination of 18 undergraduates and postgraduates. Each technical team member is given the opportunity to enhance their technological learning areas through individual focus areas while FS2012 gives the Cape Peninsula University of Technology an opportunity to combine and showcase all our skills from different disciplines. Much of the team’s success in doing so is due to excellent mentorship, dynamic teamwork and continuous support.The team has manufactured most of the components on the car. In addition to this our 2008 Honda CBR600RR engine is fitted with a custom carbon fibre intake and differential.

As the first South African team competing at Formula Student UK, we aim to compete well and learn as much as we can and in doing so we hope to make South Africa proud. The Cape Speed team is very excited about showcasing our car at this prestigious event and look forward to competing on this global platform many more times in the future.

LJMU Racing is a third year team with a will to perform. After rising through the table the previous two years, our aim is to finish in the top 15 this year.

With redesigned components to lower weight and a design evolution on many other components, this year’s car should meet its weight target. Particular attention has been paid to the ergonomics resulting in a longer cockpit allowing greater drivability. Suspension and steering have

been improved with the help of simulation software and real life testing. Load paths on rockers and mounts have been optimised and Anti-Roll bars have been added. This will greatly improve the roll characteristics of the car.

Though many of the components have been optimised, attention is still paid to reliability. The continued use of the CBR engine and extensive testing on a rolling road ensure that the drive-train is tough.

Northern Spirit Motorsport is one of three new teams from Norway. Our team consists of students from three different engineering disciplines at Østfold University College. Considering we are a very small first year team from a relatively small university, and that our team was formed in September 2011, we have had the odds against us since the beginning. On top of that we have aimed our sights very high, with a turbocharged engine featuring innovative intake and exhaust geometry, and a stylish bodywork consisting of carbon fiber and ABS-plastic panels. The learning curve has been very steep

for everyone involved, and we have worked extremely hard with all aspects of the design and build process. Our main design goal has been creating a race car that is sturdy, user friendly, exciting, and handles predictably. We did not want to follow the crowd, hence many of our solutions are different and innovative. In addition, we wanted to build a solid platform for development for coming teams. We would like to thank Østfold University College, Østfold Fylkeskommune and the rest of our sponsors for their generous support. Without their help, we would not be able to make our dream come true.

We are Team Ojas (Ojas- means Energy in Sanskrit) from VIT University, a university where building cars are a part of every mechanical student’s engineering journey. So with such a background with us, we decided to work something different and Hybrid technology was challenge for us. After the results of our business logic plan, we realized we are the only team on the competition to compete with a petrol-electric hybrid car. In India, the concept of hybrid cars is still nascent. So getting hold of information and parts was a bit of a problem.

We’ve had a lot of fun, because working on a car for Formula Student is not only about building a car but there is a lot more to it. Setting up a team, raising money, talking to different people was an essential part of it. Building your own race car and driving it around is an awesome feeling.

We are a 25 member team, we’ve split up into various sub-teams, namely Transmission, Engine, Vehicle Dynamics, Electrical and Marketing. The Vehicle Dynamics team is further split into brakes, suspension and steering.

Manufacturing the roll cage is another area where we needed a team to ensure the welding is going well. Since we are an Indian team, we have to ship the car to UK. This is a tedious procedure and we have a dedicated team who takes care of this as well. We have a person who takes care of all the money and the accounts of the team. Every member of our team plays an important role and the car would be incomplete even if a member is missing out. This whole experience has thought us to learn to work with people and coordinate work and get things done collectively.

At this point I would like to mention our sponsors who have helped us get this far and making this event participation possible: Sakthi Auto Components, Agni Motors, Indus Trust, ISMT Ltd, Titan Motorsport, Quaife, OBP Motorsport, Solidworks.

The Formula Student experience is something we’d recommend to anyone who’d like to get a taste of things work in the real world!

Without the support and knowledge, based on traditions dating back to 1910, we would never have been able to establish the team and build a Formula Student race car. The car features a highly advanced, self-developed Data Acquisition System, incorporating more than 20 sensors. Using a two- stage variable intake, we achieve a high amount of torque from low RPM. Norway’s participation is long-awaited, and we are glad to attend FS2012, representing Norway for the first time.

The AXLR8R of IIT Delhi are a group of zealous students, who dare to dream, and to think beyond the textbooks. The group isn’t just a bunch of mechanical engineering students; rather it is a kind of interdisciplinary team, with enthusiasts from chemical, industrial production engineering, etc. It has been a tough journey for AXLR8R, with the financial crisis setting in, in the industry, which blocked all the monetary help from the industry. This challenge was taken up wholeheartedly, and the team began to use each and everything judiciously. The limit on the resources also paved way for innovative thinking and efficient ways of manufacturing.

The car boasts of a big lot of improvements - designing our own noise attenuator, using push instead of pull rod in damper- bell crank assembly, use of computational fluid dynamics for intake design, carbon fibre body, to name a few.

Some companies have helped us in kind, like Continental Germany, Ricardo, Kemppi, Quaife, Solidworks, Bristol core, FAG bearings, and Bry Air. We thank them for their support.

TAU (Team Aberdeen University) Racing was established in 2007 by a group of undergraduate engineers of various disciplines at the University of Aberdeen. The team’s goal each year is to design and build a single seat racing car to compete at Silverstone in the Formula Student competition.

During TAU Racing’s first year of competition, we took the event by storm – finishing 6th in a rain soaked endurance event and achieving an overall position of 24th out of 87 competing teams, while winning a number of awards,

including Shell Most Fuel Efficient Class 1 Car. 2011 saw an ambitious redesign of the car in an attempt to gain more power and to finish higher in the dynamic events. This was achieved through introduction of a 4 cylinder fuel injected engine for the first time. TAU’12 is an evolution of our 2011 car, with a projected weight saving of 15kg. We have a number of major developments this year, including a Drexler differential, drive shafts and dry sump. The team would like to thank all of our sponsors, without whom participation in this event would not be possible.

High-Octane Motorsports is the FS team of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. This year’s team consists of 48 students who developed and built our 5th racecar, the FAUmax Epsilon. Our goal was to improve our innovations from last year to reduce the weight further and increase the reliability. This year, we have an even more compact racecar. For a further improvement of the drivability of our V2 engine, we developed a variable intake system with mechanical actuated runners. Also the reduction of rotating masses

was achieved by customizing the transmission and coupling. With a self-designed diff housing, we could save even more weight. A big step was the development of a whole aerodynamic package. With an increase of simulation hours we designed an effective and reliable car.

We thank all sponsors for the great support to make our improvements happen. We are looking forward to all events for nice and competitive racing.

2012 is the University of Iceland’s second year participating in the Formula Student competition. The experience gained at Silverstone 2011 and the trials and tribulations the team went through to get there has paid off manifold as the core group continues to lead the design process. Major improvements have been seen in the chassis design, drive train and the car’s highly modular electrical system, featuring a CAN-bus network and battery management system, which are both student designed and manufactured.

This year’s focus has been on incorporating sustainable materials into the design with special attention on basalt fibers, as basalt is

a readily available resource on the volcanic island of Iceland. A slew of new recruits have been added to the roster this year as well as a partnership with the Icelandic Art Academy. The product and graphic designers from the Academy have reshaped the team’s image, giving the 2012 car a sleek new look and rebranding the team, which now bears the name Spark. Our goal for this year’s competition is to have a running car which competes in all of the dynamic events. It has been an amazing experience for everyone involved in bringing Formula Student to Iceland.

The FBR12 is Full Blue Racing’s 4th entry to the UK Formula Student competition. The car is a well balanced package aimed at providing the ideal driving experience for the amateur weekend racer, with complete setup freedom, good handling and throttle response together with excellent reliability. The team focused the design this year on a 20kg weight improvement from last year, achieved in part through the integration of a new carbon fibre composite rear plate. Setup adjustability has been the key focus of the vehicle dynamics on the

FBR12 which features all new fully adjustable upright and hubs. The key target this year has been to complete the car ready for extensive testing from may onwards allowing the team to develop the car and drivers further in terms of both reliability and performance before the competition. The team now comprises of over 40 members from the engineering, maths, science and humanities faculties and would not be able to carry on with out the help of over 30 different sponsoring companies, with what we believe will be our finest production yet - the FBR12.

WhiteEagle Racing Team consists of 15 students, mainly from the mechanical engineering department. The team is going to participate this year with the 2nd car in its history – the 1st one started in FS Silverstone 2010 under a previous team name: SiMRTeam. In 2011, WER participated in a Class 2 competition in FS UK, presenting a 2012 concept.

The goal for this year is to build a competitive race car by passing through every stage of development of modern engineering using CAD and FEA, focusing on reliability and minimizing weight. Utilising CNC tools in the component machining has resulted in reduction of weight up to 25kg. Introducing a light-weight 449cc single cylinder engine, with optimised intake and exhaust system, has brought another 22kg less. The biggest change for this year is however a new self-programmed ECU, with specific maps for each dynamic event, beta-tested

for our business partner. These improvements have increased significantly a power to weight ratio of the car, with higher competitiveness for the event.

Our participation is not only to bring prestige for the university, but aims also to promote our domestic motorsport and technology education amongst young people.

The concept we chose to further develop is our “”Side Engine””. The concept was developed by last

Rebels Racing Formula SAE/Student Team is the first Czech fully student operated team, with no academic interventions in either the technical or project management parts of the project, following the basic idea of the Formula Student/SAE competition. The heart of the team founded in 2008 survived crisis, fund-raised a basic budget, found team-mates and started development of the first car in its history - the Rebels Racing R1. In total 15 students designed and built R1 together with more than 20 sponsors (mentioning only “Carbon” partners PRAMET, LINET and GENEI).

In April 2012 Czech car manufacturer ŠKODA AUTO joined the team as the unique “Titanium” partner. The car was developed and built on limited budget around 45,000€ with rational investments in couple of precise professionally manufactured components.

The team is based in Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague - Suchdol, a university with an agricultural background.

Rebels Racing R1 and the team together with our sponsors will compete in one of the most challenging worldwide competitions, the Formula Student/SAE, racing in Silverstone, Spielberg and Györ. Find out more on www.rebelsracing.cz or www.facebook.com/rebelsracing.

Phoenix Racing has taken a very ambitious design route to produce a light and technically advanced car. The design concepts that have been developed over the past year include:

• A hybrid chassis, consisting of carbon fibre tubes bonded to DMLS steel nodes with a rear aluminium sub frame• A passive hydraulic suspension system that controls the different suspension modes• A dual cylinder injection induction system, to improve the air fuel mixture, increasing engine efficiency• A pneumatic, paddle operated gear shifting system to improve driver ergonomics and vehicle drivability

This year, following the team’s lightweight design ethos, a 2 cylinder Kawasaki GPZ engine is being used, saving 10kg in engine and ancillary weight. 10” wheels and a small wheelbase and track mean tight packaging and inherently smaller components, all of which produce a much lighter car.

Phoenix Racing operates through a team of 24 final year students studying for a BEng in motorsport engineering. The team is divided into four sub teams which deal with four separate areas of the car, these areas being: Chassis, Engine, Dynamics and Unsprung Mass.

Our main aim for this year is to win the efficiency event for the second year running.

Cardiff Racing returns to Silverstone with their newest creation, CR08. The car was designed primarily by fourth year engineering students, with enthusiastic volunteers ranging from first year undergraduates to postgraduates performing manufacturing, marketing and testing. Having broken the top twenty in 2011, despite issues throughout the weekend, confidence is high that this year can see the best ever result for the team.

The full monocoque design of recent years has been replaced with a hybrid design; an aluminium honeycomb panel monocoque at the front, with a tubular steel space frame at the rear. This combines the excellent stiffness to weight ratio of the former, and the accessibility to key components allowed by the latter.

Optimised intake and exhaust systems allow the Aprilia SXV 550

V-twin to provide 7% more power than previously achieved, whilst cutting weight from both systems. The power is then transmitted via a student designed aluminium spool that has proved faster than a traditional differential in back to back testing.

New, lighter unsprung mass, updated suspension geometry and a solenoid quick shifter amongst new systems and components mean the team hope to be at the business end of the results come Sunday evening.

Our car, O Jika, has been designed with the intent to not limit drivers by physical characteristics and insure comfort as well as easy to

use. Durability and reliability are two areas of focus for O Jika. O Jika also carries a few prototype designs and aspects intended of use in our highly competitive FS2013 car.

With our sponsors, the university and the team we intend to push O Jika to the limit and achieve the best result possible while developing and acquiring critical information for 2013.

After great personal changes, the team is led by a new team leader, boosted by enthusiasm of new young members and equipped by skills of experienced members. This season will show how the team turned its great potential into success.

We have learned a lot from the last season and this year we want to build a reliable and safe formula car with weight under 300 kilograms

using the same Brusa electric motor. Reliability is going to be reached by simplification of both mechanical and electrical solutions. Optimalization of the battery system and combination of glass and carbon-fibre reinforced plastic for the body will cause the most significant weight reduction.

The goal is to finish all dynamic events successfully. As we have powerful motor we have big expectations in gained position in charts too. The whole team is looking forward to the Silverstone adventure, so see you there!

The 2012 competition marks the 4th Class 1 entry for Team SURTES.

This year, we focused on the refinement of the vehicle concept of our previous racing car through extensive research, design and testing. Hence, our main design objectives were on the optimisation of the technical solutions that we have developed over the last couple of years. We focused on improving the reliability and durability of all components without compromising their performance.

Through extensive use of lightweight, high strength materials such as carbon fibre, aluminium and titanium alloys, our 2012 car weighs less than 200kg. The chassis is a new and improved iteration of the hybrid chassis solution developed last year. It comprises a carbon fibre monocoque front and a tubular steel space-frame rear with enhanced

reliability, maintainability and accessibility.

Power is provided by a 2009 Honda CBR600 RR engine, which has been chosen for its smooth wide-band torque characteristics. It is fitted with newly designed custom intake and exhaust systems, a bespoke carbon fibre dry sump lubrication system and a fully tuneable ViPEC V88 ECU.

To understand and enhance the dynamic behaviour of our racing car, we have developed and fitted advanced electronic systems for data acquisition and telemetry.

We, Kaiserslautern Racing Team - KaRaT, are a small Formula Student team from Kaiserslautern that has been developing combustion cars for four years now. This season we build our first electric racer. As we only made it to Silverstone once, in our first season, we are glad to return this year.

As we have no previous experience with electric drive trains, we want to start with a basic yet competitive concept. For this reason we chose

to use two motors that drive the rear wheels. We’re developing an electric differential but leave out torque vectoring for future seasons. Also all-wheel drive is a future topic for us.

Building an electric race car comes at higher costs than building a combustion car. Thus we reorganized our non-technical department this year and extended our group dealing with sponsor acquisition and care team.

One of the key driving factors was a 20% weight reduction compared to the 2011 Aston Formula Student car. 2012 will be Aston’s 12th car featuring a number of changes from previous years, including a new and more reliable engine and an improved drivetrain.

This year’s car has continued Aston’s tradition of using a fully

carbon fibre monocoque both designed and manufactured in-house by students. The car will be using a Honda CBR600RR engine which has a better power to weight ratio than previously used engines.

2012 has seen a major reshuffle by the way of project management with the team being run by undergraduates for the first time. This has involved five manager roles in Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Logistics and Static Events.

This year, the team comprises new students, all committed to working hard in order to achieve a new car from a blank sheet. We have adopted a new design ethos which prioritises reliability and cost effectiveness keeping the design simple and related to the aim of the competition; producing a car suitable for the amateur weekend racer.

The team is broken down into five subgroups; chassis, suspension, ergonomics, engine and drivetrain. It was the responsibility of each group to develop its own ideas whilst taking into consideration potential design impacts on other subgroups. The chassis and suspension have been carefully thought through allowing ease of serviceability and

set-up. Dynamometer testing of the Yamaha engine has resulted in mapping adjustments, including fuel injection and ignition timing all resulting in a smoother running engine with increased fuel economy.

The goal this year is to gain valuable experience, learn and have fun whilst laying down the foundations for success with future generations of City racers.

The BME Formula Racing Team was established in 2007 at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME).

Our Formula Student team trains students from various faculties, for example of mechanical engineering, transportation engineer¬ing, electrical engineering, who would like to try out their theoretical knowledge in practice through a complex project that includes designing, manufacturing, racing and maintaining a racecar and the team. As an innovation for last season, the team launched its Formula Student Electric Project. At the beginning of the project there were just a few members, but with time new and enthusiastic students joined.

This season we are working on our second electric car and the team is still obtaining newer experiences every day. Our aim is to build the best possible car in accordance with our available means, regardless of time and human resources and to get even better results compared to last years. FS UK will be the second Formula Student event in which our electric team competes. Hopefully we will be able to reach our combustion teams performances

and results.

For controlling the whole project our team is using Smartsheet, an online project management program, which helps in tracing the present phase of the project and documenting everything, which is important for transparency.The team can not wait to compete but winning by standing on the podium is not everything. From our point, winning means something else, regarding the students, who partake in Formula Student teams, how they can grow intellectually, professionally, individually and working in teams.

Forze is the Hydrogen Racing Team from the Delft University of Technology. Since 2007 Forze combines motorsport with clean technology. After three years of gaining experience with karts, we built our first Formula Student car last year.

This year we built our second FS car, the Forze V. The vehicle is powered by an 18 kW hydrogen fuel cell, combined with an energy buffer consisting of ultra-capacitors.

This buffer allows using up to 60kW to accelerate. Brake energy can also be recovered and stored in the energy buffer. The only emission of our car is pure water.

Compared to the Forze IV we increased the power from the fuel cell by 50%, and reduced the weight of the car with 10%. This was accomplished by smart design and packaging and selecting the most suitable components for the fuel cell.

Swansea University Race Engineering is a team of students from many disciplines working together to bring you S12. We look forward to presenting a radical new car concept at Silverstone this year, with our new turbocharged Yamaha Genesis twin cylinder engine and its all-important CVT transmission at its heart.

The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) eliminates manual gear changes, allowing the driver to concentrate on the track, whilst reducing driver area clutter and weight. Extensive work with our new engine has allowed us to tune to compliment the CVT, with the turbocharger maximising power at specific points over the rpm range. Weight saving was a high priority during the design process; main areas for weight loss are the

suspension, engine and drivetrain areas. Clever design has reduced weight whilst keeping cost impact at a minimum.

Whilst S12 is radical, we have chosen to retain our proven Aluminium Honeycomb and steel space frame split chassis which improves rigidity whilst keeping weight at a minimum. Combine this with all new steering and suspension and S12 should outperform all our previous entries.

We would like to thank all our sponsors and the university for helping us make S12 a reality.

The UPM Racing electric team was founded in 2010 with all the eight years of experience of our brother UPM Racing combustion team. Thus, a group of masters degree in hybrids and electric vehicles students decided to step in and accept the challenge of building an electric racing car, combining simplicity with performance. As a result, we have now a very practical car propelled by two rear electric motors which meets the

most important pillars: reliability, performance and efficiency. Our car is the next step in evolution of racing cars, gathering all the qualities the racing world needs. Furthermore, it is not just a car, it is our philosophy, “Evolution and Adaptation”, those are the ideas people are excited about. That is why with pride, the UPM Racing electric team along with the Polytechnic University of Madrid present the UPM09e.

In 2012 UGRacing has benefited from increased stability due to the rollover of key team members and this has allowed good knowledge transfer to newer members who have contributed heavily to the car. UGR-12 is therefore an evolution of our previous car; 2011 gave the team a solid basis for the chassis and suspension and the 2012 iteration will feature improved designs for these, along with a complete redesign of the intake system which gave the team problems last year.

The chassis and powertrain electronics have been simplified and better integrated with the car

design with closer collaboration between these two sections of the team, aiming to improve reliability and better function of the overall package. Time has been invested to improve engine calibration to yield better fuel economy and more performance from the powertrain.

Significant effort has been invested in design for reliability and assembly, some key parts were targeted for weight reduction. The team has concentrated heavily on manufacturing processes, suppliers and quality control, working tightly with our sponsors, aiming to take a big step forward in 2012.

We are the first team from Cairo University and the third team from Egypt. Our team consists of 27 members from the finest engineers at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University. The team has 3 organizational levels (Team Leader-Directors-Department Heads) with a dynamic team leader who is assisted by two directors working to their limits to manage technical criteria and the managerial load.

Our essential goal is to finish a full and competitive racing car. Reliability was favoured over weight. Thus we took a rather aggressive approach when it came to our manufactured components,

as we desired a lot of weight saving in them since we favored heavier standard parts and hence came the single rear brake concept. We also decided to adapt the concept of implementing an Aerodynamics package for its remarkable benefits around the complex endurance event. We also studied the 4 wheel drive system and the active suspension system but due to the limited time and resources available both concepts were postponed. Last but not least, is our self-developed live wireless telemetry system which gathers data from all over the vehicle and sends it over for analysis.

PWR Racing Team is proud to present RT03 – our team’s third car. This build was a great breakthrough for the team. Our main area of interest was weight reduction and new materials. For the first time, a steel frame was replaced with monocoque. Honda CBR600RR engine was dropped in favour of KTM 450SX, which is half as heavy. Turbocharger introduction, together with E85 fuel, provided competitive amount of torque and power. Further weight optimization was done on all elements. These new technologies were challenging but helped to reduce vehicle weight below 180kg.

The team consists of 30 students from several faculties at Wroclaw University of Technology and a designer from Academy of Art and Design. Divided into technical and marketing/financial teams, PWR Racing Team members have worked hard to design and build a competitive race car. A group of curious and open-minded people from different backgrounds again, have proven that competitive race cars can be built in such immature track-racing environment as Poland.

HFS Racing Team from Helwan University is the first team from Egypt and the Middle East to participate in the Formula Student event.

2010: the start, designing a single seat race car and compete with other universities from all over the world, it was like a dream that came to life.

2011: time to develop, a great job from the team had been done, but we ended up participating in class 2 because the lack of funding.

2012: this season we designed and built our car in order to compete, a lot of developments had been done, new fuel had been used to maximize the power and a lot of hard work had been done in the car by the team.

The used Jojoba Novel fuel has the ability to increase the output engine power by 15%, and as it a bio-fuel, it shows a low amount of emissions compared to gasoline.

This year’s car was designed to be lighter than the previous car, so we chose different types of materials in order to decrease the total car weight.

We hope this year we could finish the endurance without problems and to get high marks in dynamics, we are planning to do a revolution in the history of formula student as we had done it in Egypt last year.

Formula Group T was founded in the summer of 2011 and consists of 16 Master students in engineering, studying at GROUP T - International University College Leuven near Brussels (Belgium). Formula Group T is a spin-out of CQS Group T Racing Team that designed and built two alternative drivetrains between 2009 and 2011.

In the car, which is called Areion, Formula Group T has implemented three innovative technologies. The first key element is the use of state-of-the-art thermoplastic biocomposites. Within an European Research project concerning 36 companies, the team developed a biocomposite race seat for Areion.

This seat will be the demonstrator of this project. Throughout our car, you will notice an intensive use of additive manufacturing for the fabrication of complex, functional and lightweight components, in both plastic and metals. Formula Group T has used this technology for producing the body and several parts of the suspension. Thirdly, the electric drivetrain is a technological masterpiece. Beside the use of a powerful motor we developed a contactor mechanism that can change between “wye-delta” in less than 1/10th of a second while driving. In this way, both maximum performance and optimal efficiency are possible.

The Formula Student team at Hull University was founded in 2010 with the aim of entering the 2012 competition as a first year team. With very little automotive experience within the Department of Engineering, founding the team presented a unique set of challenges. Some of these included the logistics of getting organised and established at the university as well as obtaining support from local companies in order to obtain the required resources to build the car itself.

The design of the car has been done entirely in the digital environment with a wooden prototype being built in December 2011 as proof of concept. This initial car has taught the team a huge amount that will

be carried forward into the design of future cars at the university. However this inexperience has not stopped the team from innovating. Some of our most significant design features include our vacuum formed bodywork and the packaging of the rear of the car.

A big thank you goes to all our sponsors and University staff in helping the team towards achieving its primary objective of getting to the competition and competing in all the events. The experience is invaluable to all involved.

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 a centrifugal clutch, pneumatic gear change, lightweight carbon-fibre suspension and a removable firewall for easy engine bay access.

We set out with a target of improving performance of our parts through extensive use of CAD-FEA and higher grade aluminium alloys. As a result we have managed to drastically reduce weight of individual components.

A foray into the DAQ section, melioration in the ECU department should also be a driving factor in our push towards success. Add to that

an ergonomically designed cockpit area and a well designed body, our car is both nice to look at and drive. If first glances are anything to go by we hope to leave a prominent mark at Silverstone this year!

Let’s torque flywheels! After gaining valuable feedback at FS2011, City Eco Racing returns to present an all-new entirely student-designed flywheel-based mechanical hybrid transmission. It allows us to use a small 250cc engine whilst retaining acceleration performance to match that of a restricted 600cc conventional powertrain. The system is compact, power dense and fully recyclable. The architecture allows a range of operating modes and control strategies, with our preferred mode being running the engine efficiently at a constant speed, accomplishing kinetic energy recovery and simultaneous charging of the flywheel with surplus engine power, later supplied to the wheels during acceleration.

The rotary engine drives a generator which spins two separate motors, controlling the speed of each rear axle through two custom gearboxes. Precise electric control of each axle results in better handling of the kart using torque vectoring, and also eliminates the need for a heavy differential. When the motors are not running at peak power the excess power from the engine is stored in a bank of ultracapacitors using a splitter. This power can then be fed back to the motors for a quick boost when required and aiding the engine to power the car, making it more efficient. This car could also work using hydrogen fuel and can be supplemented with an additional Kinetic Energy Recovery system, making it more sustainable.

Team Veltech India consists of 5 engineers fuelled by a passion for motorsport.

The team set up with clear goals of designing a lightweight race car which is reliable and low on maintenance and cost. The members are well-versed with the Indian market scenario and have been thrifty in their approach, which translates by the use of locally available air-cooled engine and GFRP material for bodywork.

The students are grateful to the management of Veltech Technical University for providing us the platform to put our theory to practice and learn by competing in a event of such magnitude as Formula Student.

This year is MAKTEK FSAE team’s first appearance in Formula Student. As a first year team, we started with 21 members, who have diverse backgrounds including mechanical, electrical, mechatronics and industrial engineers. Being well aware of the importance of know-how, the primary objective of this year is to learn the essentials of project management, taking into account our goals of sustainability, producing technically simple, high performance and serviceable racing car with affordable prices. According to our relative inexperience, our first year vehicle is going to be built with stainless steel frame chassis instead of monocoque. For weight reduction, gaining optimum performance and obtaining acceptable driving characteristics we use FEM and simulation tools.
