elcome to the Formula North 2015 competition – the fourth edition to the
Canadian Formula Student series. This year we are running two categories –
Combustion and Electric at the Barrie Molson Center from June 4-7, 2015.
Twenty-eight teams will be competing in the former, while 4 teams will be competing in the latter category. In addition to the event,
we will be running the Career Fair on Thursday, June 4th and the Wine and Cheese Networking session on Friday, June 5th.
The theme that has resonated this year was ‘Teamwork’. Over the past eight months, I was working abroad on a placement and as
you can imagine, it was definitely a formidable task organizing the event from so far. From handling finances to sponsorships, managing a team over a 9-hour time zone difference proved to be quite a challenge. However, it was teamwork that pulled us through.
Many of the team members took ownership of new tasks and followed through their responsibilities with a lot of dedication. Some
of the core members rose up to leadership positions to manage a variety of activities, both relevant and non-relevant to their
core responsibility. With the new Electric category installation at Formula North, it was imperative that the team was strategically
aligned for a successful 2015 event.
Isn’t teamwork the core to a successful Formula Student team? During my years as a student in FS and after graduation, I’ve had
the opportunity to see big and small well-functioning teams as well as the ‘one-man-show’ teams. While the latter is possible, the
concept of Formula Student as a student initiative, where a group of students work together, to learn, grow and excel, is lost. We
are all human, with the tendency to like or dislike certain characters and personalities. Hence teamwork will be a challenge when
you don’t gel well with a certain person on the team. But it is important to remember that each individual has a certain set of skills
which will contribute to the success of the project. If a team member can put their ego aside, there might be a greater possibility to
harness the skills of another that would propel the team to go far ahead ‘together’. The principle works in all aspects of life as well,
from work, to family, to chores!
On behalf of the Formula North 2015 team, I would like to thank all our sponsors and donors for making this year’s event possible.
I am truly humbled by their continuous generosity towards making this event a successful one every year. I would also like to thank
our volunteers who continue to assist with executing this annual event. The journey has been inspirational so far and I am glad you
are here to be a part of it.
Sincere regards,

ABOUT
Formula North 2015 is Canada’s Formula Student event.
The purpose of the competition is to promote the awareness of practical engineering experience and student innovation through
creating a competitive Canadian platform for Canadian and international teams.
Teams take on the assumption they are a manufacturer developing a prototype to be evaluated for
production and that a group of developers are interested in investing in their project. The intended sales
market is the non-professional weekend autocrosser. Therefore, the car must have high performance in terms of its acceleration,
braking and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain and reliable. In
addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. In short, would
you, the weekend autocrosser, be interested in purchasing one of these vehicles?
The challenge to the design team is to design and fabricate a prototype that best meets these goals and intents. Over the course of a
four-day competition, a jury of experts from the motorsport, automotive and supplier industries judges the design, cost and business
planning of all the teams to determine the best team and vehicle; in addition, the teams’ on-track performance scores will demonstrate how well they hold up under real-life conditions.
Formula North is divided into two disciplines: Static and Dynamic. The Static disciplines challenge students on the overall design of the
car, cost and marketability.The Dynamic disciplines challenge the car’s performance on track. A total of 1000 points are available at both
events.
STATIC EVENTS
DYNAMIC EVENTS
1. ENGINEERING DESIGN EVENT 150 POINTS
Teams must submit an eight-page design report to
convince judges of the construction and performance of their vehicles. At the
event, judges examine the car and question teams on their engineering design
goals, program simulations and vehicle testing results. Hybrid teams are also
judged on how sustainability was incorporated into the design of their vehicle.
1. SKID-PAD 50 POINTS
The self-built cars drive on a track in the shape of an eight. There are two
consecutive laps on each circle, with the second lap being timed. The cars
demonstrate, with a fast lap time, how much lateral acceleration they can
generate (up to 1.4 g).
2. COST EVENT
100 POINTS
As costs play an important factor in building a race car, teams must put
together a ‘Cost Report’ that contains a list of all components - from wheels
to manufacturing processes to labour costs and special tools. Judges then
evaluate the clarity and accuracy of the report by comparing the document
with the life-size construction.
3. MARKETING EVENT
75 POINTS
Teams must present a business plan for the built prototype to a group of
industry professionals. Teams must try to convince the audience that their car
meets the demands of an amateur weekend autocross racer and that it can be
produced and marketed profitably. Judges score teams on content, structure,
organization and delivery of the presentation.
4
2. ACCELERATION
75 POINTS
The race cars prove their accelerating abilities over a distance of 75 meters.
The fastest need less than four seconds.
3. AUTOCROSS 150 POINTS
A course of perhaps one kilometer through straights and curves. The lap time
serves as indicator for driving dynamics and handling qualities. The results of the
Autocross discipline determine the starting order of Endurance.
4. ENDURANCE 300 POINTS
Providing the highest number of points, Endurance is the main discipline. Over
a distance of 22 kms the cars have to prove their durability under long-term
conditions and the drivers’ handling skills are put to the test. A driver change
takes place after 11 kms.
5. FUEL EFFICIENCY
100 POINTS
Fuel consumption is a considerable factor in the development of future cars.
Teams that successfully complete the Endurance event are weighed. Their
final weight is compared to their original weight when filled up and teams are
awarded points based on the amount of fuel used.

“FUNDAMENTALS OF POWER-TRAIN DESIGN FOR MORE-ELECTRIC VEHICLES”
By Speaker, Nigel Schofield. Friday June 5th at 5:30pm, lasting 30 mnutes.
Future vehicle power-train concepts will invariably encompass dual or multiple off- or on-board energy sources, each of which will have
distinct electrical interface characteristics. These features, coupled with dynamic electro-mechanical load profiles and wide thermal and
environmental operating environments have a significant impact on the design of power-train components for all- and hybrid-electric
vehicles covering a variety of market sectors, for example, road, air and marine.The lecture will cover typical specification requirements,
power-train component options and their electrical and electronic interconnection for more-electric vehicle power-trains.

THE TEAMS
The concept behind each team
is that a fictional manufacturing
company has contracted a design
team to develop a small Formula-style race car. The prototype
race car is to be evaluated for its
potential as a production item.
The target marketing group for
the race car is the non-professional weekend autocross racer. Each
student team designs, builds and
tests a prototype based on a series of rules whose purpose is
both to ensure onsite event operations and promote clever problem
solving. Featured teams submitted program materials via email.

The design of the 2015 car was based around the philosophy of being simple, effective,
and efficient. Vehicle simulations were performed to evaluate various design concepts
and these results were balanced against many other factors, such as cost and reliability,
to select the final vehicle concept. The suspension system was simplified to reduce
manufacturing time and weight. New wing elements were used on the front wing and
it was lowered to take advantage of ground effect to increase downforce generation.
CFD and wind tunnel testing was done to optimize the aerodynamic system and the
interaction between the front and rear wing. A new engine management system was
implemented and changes were made to the intake manifold to address both
comments from driver feedback and to achieve target powertrain goals.

CR-20 is Iowa State University’s 20th car to compete in the Formula SAE series. For CR-20, emphasis was placed on the continued improvement of all systems from the
previous generations. Reducing the number and complexity of components to decrease
manufacturing time, improved reliability, and refinement of the engine system was also
strongly emphasized. To increase manufacturing simplicity, all 2D parts were water jet
or laser cut. This year’s car continues on 10” wheels and features unique a-arms that are
machined from aluminum plates. The powertrain remains largely the same as last year as
we continue to use the Yamaha YFZ450R engine. Our intake/restrictor is 3D printed in
Stratasys’s proprietary high strength material, ULTEM 9085. The pedal mounts have 5” of
adjustability to accommodate a range of driver heights.The use of aircraft fabric bodywork
eliminated the need for composites molds and saved time, money and weight.

Northwestern Formula Racing set out to make major redesigns during the 2015
season. We started from the basics and entirely revamped our suspension
geometry based on tire data analysis and principles of vehicle dynamics. We also
upgraded to the two-cylinder Honda CBR500R, which gives us more power out
of a light engine. Our car features updated electronics that are focused on data
acquisition and increased reliability. A carbon fiber steering wheel with integrated
electronics and an LED screen allows the driver total control and feedback during
driving. We have focused on the implementation of structural carbon fiber
components, which can be found in our floors and drop links.

In only its fourth year of existence, the Husker Motorsports team established high
goals for 2015. One goal for the 2015 car was to make minimal changes to the
previous generation in order to focus on driver training and extensive
testing and tuning of the new car. Husker 04 is a robust car with a steel tube space
frame, a 2009 Kawasaki zx6r 600cc engine, and an all carbon fiber body. Some key
features include a data acquisition system, electronic push-button shifting, and launch
control with an automatic shift system.The major addition for this year was the design
of an aerodynamic undertray – rear diffuser; this is the first year that Husker Motorsports decided to begin preliminary research into the benefits of aerodynamics for the
FSAE car. It was determined that the first step in developing an aerodynamics package
would be to design an
aerodynamic undertray – rear diffuser that would reduce the overall drag force on the
car and also create a small amount of downforce. Steps were also taken to improve
upon some of the designs from the previous year that proved to be less reliable. The
Husker 04 has the highest potential for success of any previous car produced by
Husker Motorsports.

Car #27 The University of Akron
Since the start of ZipsRacing in 1990 the team has strived to present a simple yet
performant vehicle at competition. Our new vehicle, the ZR15, is no exception to this
philosophy.
Iterating on past designs the ZR15 joins years of knowledge in development to provide the
most advanced vehicle that the ZipsRacing team has ever built.

Columbia University
KMR-15 is the ninth car constructed by Knickerbocker Motorsports. By using testing data and
driver feedback from our prior cars, we were able to redesign many systems to be lighter and
more efficient.
Major modifications to systems such as the chassis, body and fuel allowed us to reduce the car’s
weight by 9 kg, as compared to KMR-14. Additional sensors have been integrated into the design
to gain greater control during competition and to gather more data for testing analysis.

ELECTRIC SHOWCASE
T
he Formula North 2015 competition is hosting a pre-electric event this year. Four teams, representing McGill University, Polytechnique Montreal, Carleton University and San Jose State University, will be competing with Formula-style electrically powered vehicles which follow a similar set of Formula SAE rules as the combustion category.
Formula Student Electric made its first debut at the Formula Student Germany series in 2010. The series was introduced, following the strategy of the mobility industry, to innovate sustainable modes of transportation in the future. As the trend for
the development of electric vehicles is in a full swing, the idea to include a ‘100%’ electrically powered vehicle as a series of its
own, was a logical one. While in Europe, many of the existing Formula Student (FS) competitions began to include the electric
category in their events, Formula SAE in North America included the series in 2013.
With challenges of its own, the FS Electric category has seen a great number of success stories in the past few years. Electric
teams such as AMZ Racing of ETH Zurich have accelerated to 100 km/hr within 1.785 seconds, beating even the fastest ac-

Polytechnique MontrÉal
Poly eRacing is an all-electric formula SAE team which started from nothing in
2009, wanting to reduce greenhouse gas emission by training students in
transportation electrification. Our first prototype, unveiled at the summer of
2012, never competed in a dynamic event. 2015’s prototype, our second, is the
result of a redesign and will be a strong base for upcoming cars.

Carleton University
Carleton University’s Ravens Racing has designed and produced a high-performance race
car making it an ideal weekend race vehicle targeting the amateur autocross enthusiast.
Design highlights for the 2015 vehicle include: lithium iron phosphate battery back for
performance, light weight, and safety; three phase AC synchronous motor with a high
power-to-weight ratio; steel space frame chassis with carbon fibre panels for a high rigidityto-weight ratio; and in-house manufactured custom aluminum wheel centers.
Carleton’s design goals emphasize a balance between performance and cost-effective
manufacturing. To achieve the design goals, a closed loop design process is used to
create an environment of continuous improvement. Design criteria are based on the
lessons learned in testing and past competitions. A wheels-in design approach is supported
by Creo Parametric solid modelling, Creo Simulate FEA, and Creo Mechanism dynamic
simulation. Vehicle testing is used to verify criteria compliance and provide feedback for
future design work, thus completing the design cycle.
