WELCOME
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.
ROSS BRAWN OBE
TEAM PRINCIPAL - MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS FORMULA ONE TEAM
FORMULA STUDENT PATRON
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!

WEEKEND
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 compete
with just a design concept, allowing them to
spread the design and build process over 2
years. The information below is regarding the
largest category, Class 1, but the table gives
the points allocation for all categories.
Testing times
As Formula Student aims to develop well rounded
engineers, each team is assessed not only on their
car’s performance and their understanding of
the engineering behind their design, but on their
overall business proposal. This is done in a
series of static and dynamic events.
Static events
Design 150 points
Students must be able to explain how their
car’s materials, components, and systems come
together and how their design meets the needs
of the intended market.
Business Presentation 75 points
In this event, the judges play the role of the
potential investors. Each team has to present a
business case that sells their concept to them.
Cost and Sustainability 100 points
Here teams provide an accurate estimate of the
cost of their car in a limited production. They
should be able to show to the judges where
they’ve spent the money and added value.
They are also required to understand how much
energy is required to produce their powertrain.
DYNAMIC events
Before being allowed out on to the track to
compete in any of the dynamic events, the
teams must first pass technical and safety
scrutineering, as well as the tilt test and brake
and noise tests.

TOTAL
4
There are five dynamic events, all designed to
test different aspects of the car’s performance an important part of any team’s business case.
Skid Pad 50 points
In motorsport straight line speed isn’t
everything so the skid pad lets teams show how
well their car goes round corners. Cars need to
have good lateral grip to complete a figure of
eight in the quickest possible time.
Acceleration 75 points
This event focuses on the car’s powertrain
performance and drivability and on the
suspension’s ability to provide maximum tyre
grip. The measure of acceleration is the
total time it takes to travel down Silverstone’s pit
straight from a standing start.
Sprint 150 points
This tests the car’s manoeuvrability and
handling qualities on a tight 800m course. To
do well, cars have to be quick as well as nimble
around the corners.
Endurance 300 points
The biggest test of the teams is the 22km
endurance race where cars have to prove their
durability. There is also a mandatory stop,
driver change and hot restart that really tests
reliability and the team’s ability to efficiently
make changes to pedal positions, seats etc.
Fuel economy 100 points
Efficient design is about more than how the
car looks. Customers will expect their car to be
as green and fuel efficient as possible. Top electric
cars should achieve 125 grams of CO2 per km
during the endurance trial.

CASE STUDIES
Andrew Shovlin
Chief Race Engineer, Mercedes AMG PETRONAS
F1 Team
I 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
Andrew Shovlin(r) with Nico
going for some time – offered a real learning experience in
Rosberg(c) preparing for the
terms of how advanced they were. Their cars were finished to
Montreal Grand Prix
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 selfinflicted... 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.
James Painter
Engineering Lead – Vehicle Integration,
Bloodhound SSC
I 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.

University of Stuttgart,
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.
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.
This year’s concept is a lightweight
10” wheeled car with a powerful
4 Cylinder Honda engine. The
Having been quite successful last
year in Silverstone, the team is very
ambitious to achieve the same goal.

TU Munich,
Germany
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
16
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.

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

Chalmers University of Technology,
Sweden
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.

TU Graz,
Austria
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
CLASS 1
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 singlecylinder 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.

Delft University of Technology,
The Netherlands
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 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 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 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
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.

Lancaster 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.

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

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.
Aalborg University,
Denmark
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
22
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.

University of Manchester,

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.

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

DART-Racing is now participating
at the Formula Student UK for
the fourth time. Over 35 highly
motivated students from various
fields of study are working on this
year’s car, the eta2012. We set our
focus on the electric powertrain
with all its components, beginning
with new cells up to the powertrain
itself with keeping compromises
to a minimum. We choose new
materials to maintain our dedication
to sustainability and reducing the
carbon footprint, so we are able
to stay focused on our concept
without neglecting the static
disciplines. As in previous years,
DART-Racing stands for innovative
and progressive design: developing
a new undertray with a rear
diffuser we open the aerodynamic
chapter at DART-Racing. Through
simulation and validation drives
we are able to improve our car’s
performance with least possible
weight gain. DART-Racing is
looking forward to an interesting
and hopefully successful Formula
Student UK competition. Also we
would like to thank all sponsors
and supporters who make the
participation in Formula Student
Events even possible.

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
26
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 futureorientated 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.

University of Southern Denmark,

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.

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 tradeoffs in performance.

The Lessius Racing Team is the
first Belgian Formula Student
team, founded in 2009. The team
is connected to UAS Lessius
Mechelen - Campus de Nayer,
situated in Sint-Katelijne-Waver.
For our second fully built car we’ve
decided to go electric. This choice
was made because we believe
electric drivetrains are the future
and we want to make the students
accustomed with this technology.
The car is put together by about
20 students from the engineering
department and about the same
number of students from the
technology department. They’ve
worked hard since the ending of the
last school year to finish the design
and fabrication on time to compete
in Formula Student UK and Formula
Student Germany.
We would like to thank all our
sponsors for their financial and
material support, with a special
thanks to our main sponsors
Umicore, Atlas Copco Belgium,
Alcadis, Continental, Geysen H.O.,

Sheffield Formula Racing (SFR)
is now in its third year. With help
from the University of Sheffield’s
Department of Mechanical
Engineering and our partners
including Stauff, National
Instruments and Raysun Innovative
Design, we are proud to present our
third entry to Formula Student – a
completely new design which lifts
little from last year’s car. SFR has a
small but experienced team of 34
members, incorporating both new
and experienced students. This year
we aim to complete all dynamic
events and to be competing at the
32
very top in both the costing and
business events.
The car was designed with the
driver at its heart, creating an
environment which is comfortable
and easy to use. The design allows
for ease of adjustability and gives
potential for further development.
The design process has seen much
improvement, with every system
seamlessly integrated into the car
as a whole. Highlights include a
40kg weight loss, front pull rod
suspension and a cockpit suitable
for the full range of drivers.

Uludag University,
Turkey
We, as Uludag Racing Team, are
the first Turkish team ever to
attend to the Formula Student
competition. We are composed of
members studying at department of
mechanical, electronics, automotive
and industrial engineering. Since
we’ve decided to start this project,
we’ve been working very hard to
manage to complete the car and
compete on the track successfully.
As the time passes by and as we
build the car, we start to become
much more excited and keen
about the project. We are always
trying to do our best to make
the components durable enough
and light by analysis. We pay
attention on dynamic aspects,
performance, design, reliability
of the car by taking care of every
single component. This project has
really been very beneficial for us in
developing our engineering skills.
From the beginning to the end this
project made us understand the
concept of race car design step by
step. We’ll be happy to contribute to
develop this culture in Turkey. We
hope that this project gets enough
attention in our country.

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

UAS Stralsund,
Germany
We are glad to have the chance to
take part in the Formula Student
2012, since we missed this
competition for the last 2 years. In
2000, Formula Student was the first
event our team participated in.
This season the Baltic Racing
Team,set its focus on an earliest
completion time of the TY2012.
Nevertheless we have set ourselves
high standards. We reconsidered
our design concept from the driver’s
position to suspension system to
intake system and adapted it to rise
to the challenges of the Formula
Student competition.
As well as FS2012 the Baltic Racing
Team will compete in this years
FSAustria and FSGermany. We are
looking forward to 3 exciting and
strenuous weeks and are willing to
show that the first German Formula
Student team is still one of the best
in Europe.

consists of roughly 50 students
studying mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, information
technology, computer science,
business administration and
technical communication. Maybe
you are wondering why a German
team has a French name. 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”.

Brunel Racing is having its hardest
year for many years with minimal
workshop access for the majority
of the year and reduced support
from the university. However the
strength of the team has really
shone through with dedicated team
members and helpful sponsors
really pulling the project back on
track. This will be Brunel Racing’s
13th year of competing in Formula
Student and the hopes are as
high as ever. BR13 is the fourth
iteration of the hybrid aluminum
honeycomb monocoque/rear
spaceframe chassis, which this year
incorporates a closed back to further
increase chassis stiffness.
Brunel Racing would like to thank
DNA Performance filters, Bosch,
Forest Environmental and all our

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.
New sensory has been added
and the car’s low voltage system
communicates only via CAN in
2012.
Our team is excited to compete
with all teams at Formula Student in
Silverstone.

We are the first Italian team to
produce a full electric FS car.
Thanks to a mix of skills which
we have acquired in our 7 years
of experience regarding internal
combustion cars, we run at this new
project with extreme enthusiasm.
Our car, the SC12e, has two electric
motors for a combined overall
power of 76.6 kW, whilst torque is
managed by an in-house electronic
differential.
Our team is organised into
four divisions, each has the
responsibility to coordinate all the
team members during the design
and production of the car.
This year we will take part in 3
Formula Student competitions
(United Kingdom, Hungary and
Italy) with the aim to find a sponsor
able to finance participation in the
Michigan race in 2013.
Our project is made possible by the
sponsors which support us during
the production of the car, providing
us with the best components
available. Our main sponsor this
year is Magneti Marelli, supplier of
all the powertrain.

UniversitÀ degli studi di Modena
e Reggio Emilia, Italy
“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
36
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.

The 2012 UPCT Racing Team
prototype has been designed
with great effort in searching for
innovative solutions for different
vehicle systems, such as the use
of a monoshock front suspension
system, and including a especially
light overall weight, high
mechanical resistance and good
dynamical stability and a minimum
possible height (950 mm) for a
tubular steel frame.
Even with the 20 mm restriction,
80 HP and 50 Nm (1000/7000 rpm)
have been taken out of the Suzuki
GSX-R K6 (600cm3) engine.
The 2012 prototype is a radical
evolution of the 2010 version.
Everything has been changed and
improved as we look for the best
results.

is powered by a Honda CBR600
engine. The goal this year has been
to build a lightweight car optimized
for acceleration and stability which
38
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.

King Mongkuts Institute of Technology
Ladkrabang, Thailand
“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.
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.
The concept of our design is
“innovation”. The new innovation
points of “MOBIUS” are CVT

Dublin Institute of Technology,
Ireland
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. Team members are
excited about competing in the
event and meeting the Formula
Student community ‘face to face’.

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

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

from students of the Institute
of Automotive Engineering
under the Faculty of Mechanical
Engineering, which belongs
among nine faculties of the Brno
University of Technology. They are
supported by graduate students
and by consultants from automotive
industry.
Our main goal is to design and
construct a one-man racing car to
participate at the Formula Student/
SAE international event held around
the whole world. Nevertheless it
is needed to say that there is even
more motivation for our promising
team to go forward than the main
one – desire for knowledge, gaining
of experience in our field of study or
cooperation in the team.
All these aspects are the personal
engine inside all of us to reach our
goal – build a racing car and to be a
good team!

Monash University,
Australia
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.

This year, our team’s philosophy
is summarized with the following
words: simplicity, reliability,
lightness.
To respect these original goals,
the “Fearless” car is based on
several main design points and/or
innovations:
• Switch from 4-cylinder engine
(last year’s prototype) to singlecylinder engine.
• Switch from 13” rims (last year’s
prototype) to 10” rims.
• Possible use of aluminum brake
discs: 2012 innovation.
• Lowering of the center of gravity’s
position to maximize the grip.
• Car weight less than 200 kg (last
year’s prototype: 236 kg).

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 also tried to work hard on
weight reduction, improving little

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. We are looking
forward to show the results of one
year’s hard work and feel the power
of electric race driving!

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.

VIT University,
India
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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.

Østfold University College,
Norway
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

Norwegian University of Science and
Technology, Norway
Revolve NTNU was established in
late autumn 2010, to give students
at the Norwegian University
of Science and Technology an
opportunity to apply theory in
practice. The team is divided into
an administrative department
and six technical groups: Engine
and drivetrain, Electronics, Driver
environment and safety, Frame and
bodywork, Suspension and brakes
and R&D. We are very thankful
for the support given to us by our
sponsors. Kongsberg Automotive,
our main sponsor, has supported us
from the very beginning, showing
great confidence in our project.
Cooperating with Petter Solberg,
a World Rally Champion, has been
a great resource and inspiration
for the team. Our university, with
long traditions in technology
and engineering, has also been
a major collaborator throughout
the whole project. 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.
University of Stavanger,
Norway
FS Team UiS was founded in
July 2011, to be among the first
Norwegian teams to enter an FS
contest. The team consists of
11 highly motivated mechanical
engineers educated at the
University of Stavanger, making
sure to leave a footprint at FSUK
2012.
This is the University of Stavanger’s
first contribution to an engineering
contest, and we appreciate all
the support from the faculty and
the institute. Each member is
responsible for their own area, but
since we are a relatively small team,
we see ourselves as a dynamic
group with lots of humor. As a first
year team, our motto is KISS (Keep
it simple, stupid).
We wanted to make sure we had
a fully working and reliable car for
as much testing as possible before
the contest. A special thanks to
our sponsors and to all the people
involved in the project!

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi,
India
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.
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.
Having been through it all,
spending all their outside class
time, working in the race car shop,
and sometimes even injuring
themselves in the process, the
Warriors are looking to blaze
towards glory. Come this July!
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.

For 2012, the primary design
objective was to design a car
capable of being the most
competitive UK entry and finishing
48
top 10 overall at both Formula
Student UK and Germany. For the
first time, the team was able to
make use of Tire Test Consortium
data to drive specific suspension
design decisions with the goal
of getting the full performance
potential from our chosen tyres.
In conjunction with the support
of the University of Birmingham,
our continued partnership with
Perkins has enabled the team to
focus on the time management of
the project and also preparation for
static events; whilst our machining
partners Yamazaki Mazak helped
develop and produce the car’s

University of Aberdeen,
UK
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.

University of Erlangen-Nuremburg,

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.

University of Iceland,
Iceland
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

regard to composite material, and
lean manufacturing. We designed
and realized the first one-piece
carbon fiber monocoque ever made
by Italian Formula SAE teams
and to design an innovative link
between carbon fibre and steel
alloy for suspension rods (which
avoids bonding). Furthermore
special design aspects regard the
telemetry and electronic system,
vehicle dynamics study and engine
optimization.

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.

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

We are a motivated Belgian team
with approximately 20 students
from different backgrounds but all
with an affinity for racing and cars
in general.
The concept we chose to further
develop is our “”Side Engine””.
The concept was developed by last
year’s team and we chose to further
develop and refine this concept. In
this setup we put the motor next
to the driver to centralise all mass,
giving our car low inertial properties
and good handling in the corners.
This setup also helps us in creating
a relatively short car.

Cardiff University,

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.
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.

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.

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.

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

Aston University,
UK
The Aston Formula Student team
consists of 15 undergraduates from
courses including product design,
mechanical engineering and
computer science. 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 inhouse 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.
UAS Zwickau,
Germany
“Innovation meets Tradition” - if
you look at Zwickau’s automotive
history you can easily find out why
we picked out this slogan for our
team. Zwickau is the birth place of
Horch and Audi, and furthermore
in the 1930s, it was the domicile
of the Auto Union race cars which
dominated the race tracks in
Europe. Almost 70 years later our
60
WHZ Racing Team was founded.
Now in 2012, we bring our third
full electric car to the tracks. The
FP612e is a further development
of last year’s successful cars,
concentrating on packaging,
calibration and reliability. We
created a fast and dynamic car with
four independent motors and selfdeveloped electronic components.

Technical University of Budapest,
Hungary
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.
Our mission statement:
“For victory, it’s not enough to build
the car from the best parts; the team
brings the soul into the car.”
City University London,
UK
City Racing has embarked on a
new direction for 2012 with its
latest racer the CR12. We have
refreshed our approach because
the last few cars failed to live up
to our expectations. 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.

UCLan Performance Engineering’s
car has been designed and built
entirely by a team of dedicated
final year Masters and Bachelors
students for the University of
Central Lancashire. This year’s
car uses a tubular steel space
frame chassis, housing inboard
suspension and is powered by
an Aprilia 550cc v-twin engine
utilizing a diff set up by X-trac.
The grip is provided by 13 inch
Avon slicks running on Keizer
magnesium rims. The team aims
to show how a simple but effective
car can succeed in the competition,
whilst keeping the cost of the car
down. The aim of the car is to be
able to sell it to the weekend racer
and this ethos has driven the major
choices during the design phase.
To achieve this, the team split into
sub-teams, chosen according to
members’ psychometric test results
and personal abilities. Logistical
challenges included organising the
project around final year deadlines
and ensuring all project goals were
met in time.
Finally the team would like to thank
their sponsors for all their support.

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.
62
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.

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

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.

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.

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

Wroclaw University of Technology,
Poland
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.

Group T International University College,
Belgium
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.

University of Hull,
UK
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.

Imperial Racing Green is a team
of 34 people from Imperial College
London led by four final year
students, all working together on
the latest FS Class 1 entry, IC06.
The vehicle was developed with the
aim to maximise performance and
reliability whilst minimising cost.
From the outset IC06 was designed
to be as compact and lightweight
as possible. The chassis is a welded
steel space frame comprised of
only four bulkheads, minimising
overall length, whilst power
comes from a lightweight V-Twin
Aprilia 55RX engine. Both the
exhaust and intake lengths have
been tuned to maximise power
and torque along with a fully
programmable ECU which provides
the option to compromise between
performance and fuel consumption.
Notable features of IC06 include a
centrifugal clutch, pneumatic gear
change, lightweight carbon-fibre
suspension and a removable firewall
for easy engine bay access.

We are a group of Egyptian
automotive students aiming to
revive Egyptian automotive industry
through driving acquired knowledge
into industry.
It’s our first time in FS; our decision
to apply for Class 2 with a full
running car originated from our
desire to get feedback in order to
enhance our design for next year’s
competition.
ASUFRT is classified into 4 main
sub-teams (Engine, Chassis,
Aerodynamics and Organizing
teams), working in harmony to reach
our goals.
Our main sponsors: Bavarian Auto
Group, Indusrial Control Group, Cad
Masters.
ASU Formula Racing Team... it
requires a push to accelerate.

Anambra State University,
Nigeria
Anambra State University’s NutaBolts Team could not make it to the
FS2011 competition but is here this
year with a rebranded design of the
car (UGO), which represents the
symbol of our great country “The
Eagle”” and still standing as the first
of its kind in Nigeria.
Our primary goal is to advance on the
bold step we took by designing UGO.
We tried to develop a lightweight,
cost-effective and easy maintenance/
reliable car and in the coming year to
move over to Class 1. The Nuta-Bolts
team aims to advance technology in
Nigeria and the world in general.

City University London
UK
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.
Durham University,
UK
As a fledgling team, sponsors, in
particular ARM, have given us the
boost we needed to enter Class 2
this year. We are a group of students
with a passion for cars, racing and
learning more about engineering and
business; doing all of the work and
preparation in our spare time. Our
department and the team wanted
to create a sustainable car; having a
steel tube structure and using carbon
fibre made the frame light to offset
the weight of the batteries.
The innovative aerodynamics
package, in hub motors and
suspension have created a car with a
superb cornering ability.

With this in mind, a hybrid chassis
has been designed with a carbon
monocoque front and steel space
frame rear, saving 8kg over a full
space frame design. An impressive
dry weight of only 147kg includes
a full, un-sprung aerodynamic
package capable of providing 700N
of downforce at 55kmph. These
features, coupled with an Aprilia
RXV550 engine that delivers at least
80% of the peak torque across the
usable speed range, ensure that the
team objectives have been achieved.

CLASS 2
University of Thessaly,
Greece
Two years ago, 6 students decided
they wanted more practical and
inspiring studies, so Centaurus
racing team was established. Today,
the initial team members recruited
and trained new ones, trying to pass
on the experience acquired. Next
year’s aim is participation in Class
1. The main goal for our team is to
build a reliable car that meets all
FSAE rules, which will be the basis
for further development. We decided
to use simple materials in balance
between cost and performance, steel
tubular frame and a 600cc engine.
This is our first car, CRC-77.

University of Warwick’s Class 2
conventional powertrain entry
features a turbocharged, single
cylinder KTM engine, powered
with E85 fuel. Our approach is to
design a lightweight vehicle that
is sustainable and reliable, whilst
keeping up with the competition in
performance.
Veltech Dr. RR & Dr. SR
Technical University,
India
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.

The unconventional power train
design is based on series hybrid: an
electric power train powered by a
rotary engine, Aixro XR50 4 Stroke
Engine. 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.

Yildiz Technical University,
Turkey
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 knowhow, 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.
