Formula SAE Michigan
2014 SAE President’s Message
Dear Formula SAE® Participants and Organizers:
Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at Michigan International
Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan.
Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now in its 36th year,
Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems engineering,
design and problem solving, along with the teaming challenges of
collaboration and cooperation. In short, Formula SAE, along with all of
the SAE Collegiate Design Series™ competitions, provides the skills and
experiences needed for a well-rounded engineering education.
In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of
competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from several
nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed
to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The
students will work hard and compete to win. Some will earn top honors,
others will not. But all will leave here winners because they will be better
engineering students.
Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank
everyone for their hard work, support, volunteerism and participation.
The experiences and learning you gain this weekend will last throughout
your lives.
Sincerely,
Daniel M. Hancock
President, SAE International

Concept of the Competition
The Formula SAE® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and
graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula style,
competition vehicle. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the freedom to express
their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions on the overall vehicle design.
Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing, building, testing and preparing
their vehicles before a competition. The competitions themselves give teams the chance to
demonstrate and prove both their creation and their engineering skills in comparison to teams
from other universities around the world. Registered for this event are 120 teams from colleges
and universities. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a meaningful
engineering project as well as the opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort.
For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has
engaged them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended
sales market is the nonprofessional weekend competitor. Therefore, the car must have very 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. The manufacturing firm is planning
to produce four (4) cars per day for a limited production run. The challenge to the design team is
to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents. Each design will
be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car.
Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events
including: technical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance
trials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well
the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable
performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations.
Static Events:
Design Report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from the
automotive and motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the design is
to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of engineering to meet
the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team members will win the
design event.
Cost Report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will follow the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The objective of the event is for the participants to learn and understand the manufacturing techniques
and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase rather than
fabricate themselves.
Presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and deliver a comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a fake manufacturing firm that the
team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend competition market and that
it can be profitably manufactured and marketed.
2
Dynamic Events:
Acceleration: The cars are evaluated on their accelerating
abilities from a standing start over a distance of 75 meters.
Autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities on a tight course without the
hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the
performance features of acceleration, braking and cornering
into one event. The results of the Autocross scores determine
the starting order for endurance.
Skid-Pad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering
ability on a flat surface while making a constant-radius turn.
The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of the
number 8; the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can
be absorbed (up to 1.4g).

Rennteam Uni Stuttgart
Since the foundation in 2005 one of the most important reasons for the success
of Rennteam Uni Stuttgart has been setting clear goals and milestones right from
the beginning of every new car’s development. Get the car done in time. Finish
the endurance and finally score as many points as you can get. The long period of
intensive car testing ensures a reliable and well-understood racecar. The concept
implies a lightweight 10” wheeled car with a powerful four-cylinder Honda CBR
engine. The combination of a CFRP monocoque with a tubular space frame rear
was chosen to improve accessibility and maintenance of the entire powertrain.
With the aid of CFD-based optimization our wings guarantee a well-balanced
aerodynamic package with maximized efficiency regarding downforce to drag
ratio. Looking forward to meeting the international competitors, the team is
excited for the FSAE event 2014 on the Michigan International Speedway. Since
last summer we have improved our car’s weight and performance even further in
order to have a great challenge!

Cornell Racing proudly presents its entry, ARG14, into the 2014 Formula SAE
Michigan Competition. ARG14 maintains its power advantage while decreasing
fuel consumption and improving driveability and ergonomics. To achieve these
goals, a full carbon fiber monocoque was selected with a strong and reliable
engine package centered around serviceability. At the heart of ARG14’s engine
package is a turbocharged Honda CBR600RR, with a custom dry sump lubrication system, controlled by a MoTeC M400 ECU. Additionally, ARG14 features front
and rear wings to increase high speed stability. Cornell Racing aims to win its
10th championship title at Formula SAE Michigan.

The RS8 vehicle is the 8th Formula SAE® prototype from Formula FEI, the 4th to
use a single cylinder engine, 10” wheels following the downsizing concept and
the 1st to use an aeropackage with wings.
This car stands for an evolution among the RS generation vehicles. This is accomplished without losing the main design objective: To suit the non-professional,
weekend, competition racer market, allying the best compromises in performance,
aesthetics, cost, ergonomics, maintainability, manufacturability and reliability.
The yellow, green and blue stripes painting is a tribute to Ayrton Senna and identifies the Formula FEI during international competitions.

Michigan State University’s Formula SAE Team would like to present this year’s
entry into the Formula SAE race series, the SR-14. The SR-14 is powered by the
four cylinder Honda F4i engine, which delivers great reliability, a broad torque
curve, and fast acceleration with a 0-60 time of 3.4 seconds. The powertrain
system is packaged within a stiff and lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis. The electrical system features over 60 sensors to monitor car and driver performance. The SR-14 also features an electro-pneumatic paddle shifting system,
traction control, and launch control. It is equipped with a complete aerodynamics
package: front wing, rear wing, and our team’s first undertray. Overall, it generates 410 pounds of downforce at 60 mph. The SR-14 is designed to be a reliable
and tunable race car with a simple human-machine interface that inspires driver
confidence.
We would like to thank Michigan State University and all of our sponsors, friends,
and families for their kind contributions and support! Without them this invaluable
learning experience would not be possible.

Maua Racing
This is the third car from MAUA Racing Team, the MR14 Prototype designed to
improve from last year: ergonomics, driving maneuverability and power. All this
with a low manufacturing cost.
Our project was broke down in steps for management and implementation
purposes. These steps were: Build a team and distribute tasks; Establish goals;
Project the car; Build.
After the car were ready, we accomplished our goals: a reliable car, good dynamics and great power obtained from a CBR 600 RR engine calibrated from one of
our members.
Allied with our goals, we could keep the intend of a car for a weekend racer, with
easy access and maintenance to all systems.

AU-2014 utilizes a hybrid front monocoque and rear space frame chassis design
to yield optimal vehicle dynamics, packaging, and overall reliability. The robust,
efficient and powerful Yamaha R6 is used to power AU-2014. The decision to
retain the R6 powerplant was made due to the reliability, driver-friendly torque,
and efficiency that the team has extracted from the motor in AU-2014’s predecessors. The R6 motor combined with an all-new monocque design and 10 in.
wheels yields a superior power to weight ratio, and gives AU-2014 an advantage
over the competition at the track and in the market-place. AUFSAE thanks War Eagle, and Platinum Level Partners: The Samuel Ginn College

Jayhawk Motorsports was founded in 1994 by a group of six KU mechanical
engineers. Since then, JMS has grown into a team comprised of over 60 students. Team members represent several disciplines including industrial design,
business, computer science and mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering.
As we are building two cars, we develop several parts which meet the requirements of
both cars in order to improve testing time and manufacturing effort. Moreover we aim
to combine the best of new ideas and tested concepts in both cars.
The KIT13c is powered by a self-developed turbocharged 2-cylinder engine with
direct injection that has been developed and improved since March 2011 in order
to meet the requirements of a formula student engine. The chassis of the car is a
light weight CFRP monocoque combined with a tubular rear space frame and an
aerodynamic package.
We would like to thank all our supporters for making it possible to participate in this
great event and are looking forward to an exciting competition in Michigan.

F2014 represents the ninth Formula SAE® vehicle produced by USF Racing since
beginning the FSAE series in 2005, and is the fourth evolution of our current
design concept. The following goals were created by the team preceding the
design process: improvement of component serviceability, initial development of
an aerodynamics package, and a 10 lb weight reduction (without wings) from our
previous model, F2013. We placed an emphasis on validating design simulation

through real-world testing. Based off of the successes of previous models, F2014
runs a naturally aspirated Suzuki LT-R 450cc single cylinder engine, steel axles,
and 10 inch wheels. Integrating last year’s chassis packaging with improvements
in the suspension and engine systems, the introduction of an aerodynamics package as well as building on a successful history in static events, we hope to have
created a car which continues to perform aggressively across all events in the
FSAE competition.

Tufast Racing Team
In October 2012 a team of 65 young and motivated students started to develop
the 10th Formula Student Combustion car of the TUfast Racing Team. After a lot
of hard work we were proud to roll out the nb013 out of our workshop in June
2013. The challenge for this year was to reduce weight even more, aiming for
less than 190kg with an aero package. Therefore we implemented some innovative designs e.g. for the rims and the driveshafts for further weight reduction. The
full aero package is also a first in TUfast history. So now we are excited to compete with all the other teams and see 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 favorite
topic and have a good time. Just come over and have a beer with us.

Having developed a fully functional prototype in 2013, this year the team has
focused on improving the reliability of the vehicle, by optimizing the manufacturing
time to allow more track tests. Also, the team has achieved a 12% weight reduction, and the mass distribution has changed for better performance: the CG is at
a lower height, and rearwards, and the system components are more centered in
the vehicle. We stick to our tested YZ450F engine, wich we used the last year for
the first time. Using the experience and knowledge acquired with the 2013 prototype, the engine setup for this year is more efficient with a new intake system and
engine mapping optimizations. Also, the electronics have been designed for easy
debugging and setting of the system.
We are proud to present one of the best prototypes since the team creation in
2005. The Team is very grateful with all our sponsors, that make possible the
realization of this project. 25

US Naval Academy
Navy Motorsports
The 2014 Navy Formula SAE team (NR-14) is a refinement of Navy’s 2013 car,
focusing on a “back-to-basics” mind-set. NR-14’s goal was to incorporate the
lessons learned from past-year’s teams to advance the general design of the
2013 car. We worked to improve manufacturability and lessen complexity by
developing a simple, easily repaired, and easily diagnosed vehicle. Previous years
of Navy Racing have utilized advanced methods of shifting, such as pneumatic
cylinders and electronic solenoids; however, NR-14 chose to employ a basic bar
linkage from the driver’s hand, back to the transmission, keeping shifting simple. In addition, NR-14 worked to improve the lines of communication between
the team and USNA’s machine shop to discuss the creation of parts. This helped
ensure there would not be any challenges from transferring CAD designs through
to manufacturing. In the case of complex components, including carbon-fiber
A-arms and additional systems components, NR-14 made sure to develop each
component prior to introducing them to the car. All parts were initially lab-tested
and systems components were isolated from the functionality of the car.

The 2014 USAFA Formula SAE team has constructed S1.4, the fourth version
of the S-series car. The philosophy set by the 2011 team to constantly improve
on the same fundamental concept of small and lightweight has lead to what is
the best car in USAFA history. With a reliable KTM 525 engine, and the mindset
of constant improvement, the USAF is represented well by 11 highly motivated
cadets. This year’s car is approximately forty pounds lighter than last years. In the original
plan set out by the 2010 team, this years main goal was to improve the reliability
of S1.3 while saving additional weight.

Our focus for 2014 is to improve upon our designs from previous years by analyzing the failures and successes of past vehicles. We designed a more reliable and
drivable vehicle while adding additional data logging and processing capabilities,
to improve our tuning ability and allow our vehicle to serve as a test-bed for future
years. We also designed the vehicle with the goal of promoting design for manufacture and assembly, to reduce time spent on these tasks, and give us more
time to tune and train in the car. The team additionally continued to work towards
its goal of enabling amateur drivers to take full advantage of the car’s potential.
Through the year, the team used computer simulations, subsystem testing, and
full-scale data logging to study and improve vehicle performance. Major modifications to S1.3 include a new differential, improved suspension parts,
new brake parts, a smaller tire size, lighter frame, form fitted foam seat, and new
intake/exhaust system. With these new parts and a fresh batch of firsties (seniors
at a military academy), the 2014 USAFA Formula team is excited to compete!

Car 31 marks the 22nd vehicle produced by GT Motorsports since the team’s
founding in 1987. We strive to produce consumer-oriented vehicles that are fast,
comfortable, reliable, and affordable. GT Motorsports takes the vision of Formula
SAE to heart; our cars are 100% student designed, and our team members
manufacture all components in-house.
Our design methodology places emphasis on designing the vehicle as a system,
balancing tradeoffs in performance, efficiency, and cost. Our design team has
generated and validated computational models of nearly every component on the
car, totaling over ten thousand lines of MATLAB code. We use these models to
outline detailed design specifications for vehicle systems and components.
This year’s design marks a return to the inline-four powerplant. We have also
begun to explore innovative applications for stressed composites, engineering
polymers, and additive manufacturing.

The 2014 car is the latest evolution of a platform that started in 2011. Our main
focus this year was to create a better car by first becoming a better team. We
committed to an aggressive timeline and ended up finishing the chassis in record
time, having more competition ready engines than we’ve ever had, the most dyno
time in years, and more testing than ever before.

CMDM
CMDM, a racing club in Yeungnam University in South Korea, has not taken part
in Formula SAE since our last competition in 2009. It is going to be our new challenge because all of the team members are new to this project. We focus 3 points
to design 2014 formula vehicle. These are weight reduction, manufacturability,
Ergonomics.
We again chose a space frame of 4130 with bonded carbon fiber structural
panels and an inline 4-cyl from a Yamaha R6. The suspension geometry stayed
the same but the system shed significant unsprung weight. The team now fully
utilizes brand new MoTeC engine control and telemetry hardware/software which
aided suspension and powertrain tuning. The intake, differential support, tires,
and cooling all improved significantly for this year’s car.
We want to give a big thanks to all of our sponsors, friends at the University,
alumni, and supporters for helping us meet our goals and achieve our potential!

NUS FSAE
Making its way to the 2014 Formula SAE Michigan Competition is our very own
NUS FSAE Race Car, NUS-R14. The design of this car took reference from the
previous car, NUS-R13, with the major change being the new engine.
R14 uses an inline four cylinders CBR600RR engine, changing from the V-twin
two cylinders Aprilia SXV550 used in R13. The CBR600RR was chosen for its
reliability, serviceability and responsive power delivery. A dry sump with thin flat
oil pan was designed for the lubrication system in order to lower the position of
the engine in the chassis. This is done to achieve a race car with lower Centre of
Gravity.
We would like to thank the university and all the sponsors as this car will not be
possible without their support.
With that, we hope R14 would be a strong contender in the FSAE Michigan Competition where we would showcase our year’s worth of hard work.

for the 2014 vehicle. A wooden jig, pocketed a-arms, and aluminum cast uprights
have served to drastically decrease our manufacturing time without compromise
for performance. This is our second installment of the 10” wheel vehicle powered
by the Honda TRX450 single cylinder engine. The chassis has been lengthened
by 2 inches and the driver has been angled back to increase driver comfort. The
efficient packaging of all components over a 23kg chassis allows us to achieve
Toronto’s highest stiffness to weight ratio. 40

Panther Racing
The Panther Racing Team is divided into six main groups: Chassis & Suspension,
Powertrain, Drivetrain, Electronics & Data Acquisition, Ergonomics, and Aerodynamics. This structure allows each design group to operate in parallel while
maintaining inter-group communication to ensure that each system complements
the others and strives for a common set of design goals. With the growing use of
aerodynamic devices on top-twenty finishers, it was decided to pursue performance gains through aerodynamics. In addition, an evaluation of the competition
showed that a sub-200 kg car weight was standard among top-placing steel tube
frame 4-cylinder cars without wings. Thus, a target weight was chosen to be 200
kg (441 lbm) without the aerodynamic package, a feasible 6% weight reduction
from previous Panther Racing vehicles. Our 2014 prototype has a steel tube
space frame chassis with a 4-cylinder engine and a full aerodynamics package. This combination was selected due to the low cost and ease of manufacture
of the chassis, the high power output of a 4-cylinder powertrain, and the conclusive laptime reductions seen by increasing downforce in laptime simulation.

Villanova University’s 2014 entry into the Formula SAE Competition (hereafter referred to as VU06) represents the team’s sixth year in competition. Last year’s car,
VU05, was the first point in our history where we could refine and update systems
on the car, rather than fully redesign them. A major goal for VU06 was to finish
early, with an emphasis on reliability and driver comfort, while building on the
lightness and performance of VU05. Some highlights include a frame that is 10%
lighter and 15% torsionally stiffer, increased reliability across the vehicle without
significant weight gain, a redesigned cooling system, a new paddle-actuated CO2

Okstate Racing
The 2014 Oklahoma State University car, designated VALKYRIE, was designed to
exemplify the successes of previous generations while building upon the foundations of previous lessons learned. The car was created, not only with the technical
rules in mind, but with the intent of creating a business friendly car that would be
easy to manufacture and remain affordable to the everyday autocrosser.
At the heart of this year’s car lies a Yamaha YFZ450R single-cylinder ATV engine.
The power supplied by this engine will propel the car to a maximum vehicle speed
of 116 kph. The engine would be nothing without a frame to propel. This year’s
frame is a tubular space frame made out of 4130 steel of the round and square
varieties. VALKYRIE was designed to float like a butterfly on a double unequal
length A-Arm suspension attached to both, the front and the rear. VALKYRIE also
relies upon four 18x6-10 R25B Hoosier tires to lay the power down to the asphalt
as she rounds corners and flies down straightaways.
Manufacturer-purchased parts aside, all other aspects of VALKYRIE were handcrafted and machined with the utmost attention to detail by the members of the
Okstate Racing Team.

MTU FSAE
Michigan Technological University’s Formula SAE program began in 1994. Today,
the team consists of 45 motivated members majoring in mechanical engineering,
electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering technology. The three main
goals that drove the design of this years vehicle were performance, driveability
and maintainability. The F-151, the 2014 competition vehicle, incorporates features that address each of these goals. The single cylinder KTM engine provides
maximum performance with a custom student designed fuel injection system
and intake. The newly designed electro-pneumatic shifting system increases
drivability by reducing shifting time. The two piece 1020 space frame chassis
provides superior maintainability by allowing improved access to vehicle systems.
This vehicle is a third iteration vehicle that first competed in 2010.
The team continues to build on the strong foundation that was created some 10
years ago. We would like to thank Michigan Technological University and our loyal
sponsors for their continued support. We look forward to representing them at
competition.

a high powered Yamaha Genesis 80FI two cylinder engine and CVT system,
quicker lock-to-lock steering ratio, a newly designed suspension system, and our
first aero package. This 2014 season, UMDracing has only one goal in mind: 1. Finishing with the best overall season in our school’s history. We would like to personally thank all of our sponsors and alumni who helped in
the production and success of our 2014 season. Without you we would not be

The Oakland University FSAE team saw tremendous success during the 2013
competition year ending the season with the best competition finish in the team’s
16 year history, ranking 2nd in the state, 9th in the country and 36th in the world.
An Endurance Event victory would mark success for 2014 season; by definition,
a car successful in the Endurance Event is one that does not suffer in any other
area of competition. The following design criteria were focused on: reliability,
adjustability, and drivability. Dedication and improvement is highlighted through
simulation and analytical methods used in the design of components. The ability
to make quick adjustments to counteract dynamic circumstances during a race
event was critical. The final component of Oakland University’s design philosophy
was developed through hours of testing and racing; making GRX4 more drivable
would also be necessary for the team’s Endurance Event victory. Previously,
drivability has been overlooked due to difficulty in quantifying changes and their
effect. Several key aspects were determined to have an impact on drivability:
engine output, driver control response, and ergonomics.

Mankato State Motorsports
Our car was built keeping in mind the fact that we wanted to make a high performance car at an affordable price. An opposed flow secondary fuel injector was
implemented to cool the intake charge after the turbo while providing more fuel
for the engine at high RPM and load. New hubs and uprights were also designed
and fabricated for this year that provide greater strength with lighter weight. Additionally, a new frame was designed that featured increased rigidity and minimal
deflection.

Knights Racing
For 2014, Knights Racing competes with the most well rounded vehicle to come
from UCF. The KR14 blends advanced technologies with successful and proven
designs, with an overall focus on reliability. Beginning with the most noticable,
KR14 is the first car from the Knights stable to feature aerodynamics in the
form of wings and diffuser. Composites are widely implemented, notably in the
carbon fiber wheels, intake, seat, bodywork, and wings. The KR14 continues to be
powered by the GSXR 600 engine through Haltech electronics, breathing through
a new top-fed intake and 4-1 exhaust that increases drivability and efficiency. A
tubular 4130 space frame chassis and lightweight steel suspension arms create
a stiff, well balanced vehicle. Packaging and serviceability were key design goals
in the integration of systems with the chassis along with ergonomics and driver
comfort. An adjustable pedal box with incremental points of adjustment comfortably suits drivers of many proportions, while the seat is designed to reduce pressure points and support the driver without being constricting. Other systems were
designed with the overall goals of reliability, low mass, and ergonomics in mind.

Osprey Racing
Osprey Racing’s 2014 SwoopD3 is the third FSAE competition vehicle to come
from the University of North Florida. Major advancements in the design and manufacturing processes, along with the efforts of the team have produced a powerful,
efficient and cost effective build. The suspension has been redesigned with a focus on adjustability and improved
handling. The chromoly space frame and power train were designed together
resulting in better reliability and a stiffer chassis. To increase power output, the
cooling system was designed from ground up to reject heat as efficiently as
possible. Further reduction in energy losses were made by developing a new
low-drag aerodynamics package utilizing an underbody diffuser to add down
force. Pneumatic shifting was designed to improve shifting efficiency, decreasing
lap time. Tying each system together is a sophisticated data acquisition network,
which is used to optimize system designs and provide detailed driver feedback.
Every component was analyzed with FEA and CFD to optimize geometry and
minimize weight.
We would like to thank the University of North Florida and all of our great sponsors for their incredible support and contributions!

The Q14 represents the mid-cycle refresh of the 10th generation of Queen’s
University vehicles. Improvements on the previous model were made with an integrated approach, using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to evaluate the most
feasible and sound improvements. A broadened management structure ensured
redundant oversight of vehicle systems, reinforcing sound design choices that
fully considered constraints from the perspectives of all sections. The central project goals focused on auxiliary component development, addition of driver-centric
elements, improved management portfolio, simplification of systems with resultant
weight savings, and integration across vehicle systems through combined studies.
The Q14 presents unique features such as a three-mode automated shifting
system, aerodynamic undertray, and carbon fibre steering column.

Sooner Racing Team
The Sooner Racing Team’s 2014 entry, known affectionately as Lily, is the next
iteration of a aerodynamically augmented, lightweight vehicle. All vehicle systems
targeted component mass and inertial characteristics while identifying component
durability limits and maintaining ease of service. A simulation-based approach
was used along with multiple forms of physical validation, including but not limited
to integrated data acquisition, to select critical vehicle performance parameters in
order to develop the selected vehicle concept.
The key powertrain advancements of this year’s vehicle are a 3D-printed conical
spline intake manifold and a custom intake cam profile for greater acceleration
potential. In addition, the wheelbase has been extended to recline the driver,
thereby lowering the center of gravity and improving comfort.
We would like to give special thanks to Cooper Union, our faculty advisors, and
our sponsors.

For 2014, Blue Devil Motorsports is focusing on light weight, performance and
serviceability. The chassis has been significantly redesigned to incorporate
a powertrain cradle that is easily removable and houses the engine and all
subsystems. The chassis is also lighter and significantly stronger than last year’s
vehicle. Driver ergonomics have been improved by lowering the front roll hoop,
extending the chassis and incorporating an adjustable pedal box. New for this
year is an electronic push-button shift system and a digital dash display. The ECU
has been calibrated with XV-Tuner software which has decreased fuel consumption and improved starting. The intake was redesigned to increase laminar flow
within the manifold and the exhaust has been improved to lower the decibel level
and improve engine performance. For 2014, the differential has been significantly
redesigned to incorporate equal length drive-shafts and improve on packaging.
The wheels are student designed cast aluminum with center lug splines. Blue

Western Formula Racing
Western Formula Racing is excited to present their 2014 model. We are excited
to present our second generation aerodynamic package including a front a rear
wing. The carbon fibre package weighs 50% of 2013 prototypes while delivering
100% more downforce. Similarly, through greater care and preparation, the new
body cuts 50% of the mass with no compromise of quality. Such weight saving
measures have applied to all systems resulting in >10kg weight savings. Despite
aero advancements, mechanical grip has remained a paramount consideration
as evidenced by newly designed bellcranks which deliver near constant spring
and roll bar motion ratios. Many new analysis techniques were utilized in various
aspects of the powertrain design including engine simulation as well as our first
ever lap simulator to select a target torque curve and drive ratios. Automatic
upshifting and vastly improved ergonomics will advance driver comfort and ensure
the car-driver system is operating as best as possible. With overall weight savings of 10kg, increased downforce, improved suspension
kinematics, and improved engine tuning, Western Formula Racing expects vastly
improved dynamic performance in all events.

Mizzou Racing
UIC Motorsports set out to design and manufacture a reliable four cylinder space
frame car that weighs less than 205kg. The design of the 2014 formula car (F14)
was achieved by focusing on the areas of the F13 that possessed the greatest potential for improvement in safety, reliability, and manufacturability while
reducing weight, complexity, and cost. Every component of the F14 was modeled
in SolidWorks allowing designers to notice any packaging issues and fix them
prior to manufacturing. Assigning part numbers and maintaining an up to date
bill of materials enabled the team to track the weight and complexity of designs
based on component count. This significantly reduced the amount of time spent
manufacturing and allowed for the team to focus more energy on testing and
validation of designs.
Mizzou Racing is proud to introduce our 2014 entry into Formula SAE. Building on almost 30 years of Mizzou Formula SAE history, we have designed a car
that champions reliability and drivability, while also embracing creativity and
innovation, testing our engineering limits. Starting with the bullet-proof Honda
CBR 600RR, we have produced a formidable power train that reliably produces
a supply of relentless but controllable power. We also focused heavily on putting
that power to use. The use of Hoosier tires demands that our suspension be
highly optimized to squeeze out every last bit of performance, so a premium was
placed on maintaining optimum camber angles, and reducing tire load fluctuation.
To maximize lateral acceleration, our already impressive aerodynamics package
was overhauled, and now produces an incredible amount of downforce, even at
low speeds. To help reduce drag, and manage the massive aerodynamic loads, an
active-aerodynamics system was developed to allow for a tunable aero-balance
at any speed, with the ability to react dynamically to various different driving
maneuvers, keeping us as close to the limit as possible at all times.

Duke University’s 2014 Formula SAE racecar is a significant step forward for the
organization, with an overarching theme of refining all vehicular subsystem components focusing on weight reduction, innovative improvements, and subsystem
tuning and optimization. Through theoretical modeling, CFD analysis, wind tunnel
verification, and finally on-vehicle testing and validation, it was determined that
creating a more aggressive, full aerodynamics package proved to be the best use
of resources to improve the vehicle’s overall racing performance. The 2013 FSAE
Michigan competition vehicle performed well in each of the dynamic events, but
the largest constraints on its overall performance were the vehicle weight and
proper engine and suspension tuning. The 2014 vehicle features a strong design
in which all vehicular subsystem components complement each other and have
been tuned to their full capacity for maximum track performance on a highly
capable racecar.

This year, the UQTR formula SAE car will be the most advanced to ever come
out of our university. Design objectives were to reduce weight, add downforce,
and make the car easier to drive. A lot of fea have been made in order to reduce
weight. The result is a steel space frame, 13inch wheel car of less than 450lbs
including the aero package. Talking of aerodynamics, our front and rear wings
should produce enough downforce to use the best of our hoosier tires. And finally
in order to make the job easier for our drivers the car is fitted with an electropneumatic shifter and a slipper clutch.
The UQTR racing team is well prepared and confident to have design and manufacture a competitive car for the FSAE Michigan competition. 66

WU Racing
The main focus of the WU-2014 was to build on the successes that we saw in
the 2013 competition. While in previous years we made completely new designs,
we felt that we could refine our 2013 car to give us the best results as we could
focus on the problems we saw last year. On the Chassis side, we aimed to create
a design that was less complex than that of the previous year. For the powertrain,
our main focus was increasing power output from the Yamaha R6 engine. With
this years car, we hope to complete all of the events for the second consecutive
year.

Panther Motorsports
For 2014, University of Hartford Formula SAE team opted to go forward with a
complete redesign of the front suspension while maintaining a similar chassis
design. The frame are constructed from 4130 steel. The frame was constructed
and welded by team members. The front suspension was completely redesigned.
The direct mount suspension from the previous year was replaced with a pushrod
suspension after it was empirically determined that the pushrod would allow for
a more desirable, stiffer suspension. The sway bar was mounted off of the bell
crank connecting the pushrod to the shock. Relocating the shock outside of the
A-arms allowed the angle of the A-arms to be altered from the previous year, subsequently giving more flexibility in relocating the front roll center. The engine used
is a Yamaha YFZ 450R . The engine remains stock in order to increase reliability.
The intake manifold was designed for ease of manufacture and low cost. Because
of these goals, the intake is completely constructed out of thin wall aluminum
tubing. A Torsen limited slip differential was used with a custom housing designed
to contain gear oil and mount the driven sprocket and brake rotor.

FSAE UQAC
The major strength of the 2014 vehicle is the input of the turbo charger. This is
an important point that we focused on to optimise the power and torque of the
engine. We also worked to reduce the overall weight of the car to get the higher
power/weight ratio. Lot of time have been spent optimising the brake system, the
transmission and the wheel uprights to save weight. We also worked to develop a
carbon fiber seat with an integrated head restrain to reduce weight.
The main goals of the design were to improve the adherence, agility, and reliability. We also focused on the homogeneity of the entire assembly. Almost each
part of the car is design with FEA analysis to ensure that they comply with our
needs in stiffness, weight and resistance. In 2014, every aspect of the vehicle is
designed to a higher level. The entire efforts placed on the designs are noticeable
on the track and our team is proud of it.

The 2014 Ferris Formula Racing Team is proud to present FFR8. The design goals
for this vehicle include simplicity, reliability, and increased performance.
Our performance goal is to finish in the top 25% overall at the FSAE Michigan
competition, which is a major improvement over previous years for Ferris Formula
Racing.
Improved suspension geometry, improved differential mounts, student designed
billet aluminum uprights, spindles, and bias-bar adjustable brakes are some of
the highlights.
The improvements for this year’s vehicle are due in part to extensive vehicle
testing that was performed at the beginning of the season. Strain gauge and
durability testing were used on the suspension and drive train to necessitate
design improvements. An engine dynamometer was used to create a fuel map for
proper engine tuning.

University of Connecticut
This marks the sixth vehicle produced by UConn Formula SAE since reforming
the team in 2007. The design philosophy this year revolved around simplicity in
design. The frame is a tubular steel space frame made from 4130 chromoly with
infused carbon fiber stressed panels and body for increased torsional rigidity and
weight reduction, respectively. A 2003 Suzuki GSX-R600 underwent a rebuild
including a modified 13.3:1 compression ratio, slipper clutch, removal of first,
fifth and sixth gear, and a back-cut, cryo-treated second gear. A load cell in-line
with the shifter allows for clutch-less downshifts. The exhaust is constructed out
of steel in a 4-2-1 configuration with ceramic coating both inside and out. A Salisbury differential enclosed in a cast magnesium housing with chromoly stub axles
provides added drivability and reliability, while cast magnesium uprights provide
further weight savings. A steering rack manufactured in-house utilizes custom
rack and pinion gearing enclosed in a cast magnesium housing with carbon
support tubes to reduce mounting compliance. The unpainted Carbon-Blue Kevlar
body and anodized orange wheels provide a unique vehicle appearance.

Purdue Formula SAE
The 2014 team from Purdue University, West Lafayette put a large emphasis on
sound engineering design and efficient manufacturing. Significant changes were
made to the frame design to increase torsional rigidity while minimizing weight.
Changes to the kinematics were made based on the switch to Hoosier tires and
the associated findings from in-depth tire modeling. The Honda CBR600F4i
engine was fitted with a dry sump oil system to improve oil supply, minimizing
engine damage due to oil starvation. Improvements to the electronics system
were also made, with an electro-mechanical shifter being implemented to allow
shifting via paddles on the steering wheel. A full aerodynamic package consisting
of a front wing, diffuser, rear wing, and sculpted bodywork was implemented to
improve vehicle performance.
The success of the Purdue FSAE team is not only due to the hard work and dedication of its members but also of the entire community that supports the team. A
huge thank you goes out to Purdue University, our sponsors, our alumni, and the
FSAE volunteers that make the events a success. A special thanks to our family
and friends for their understanding, patience, and support this year.

This year Rensselaer Motorsport has constructed its 20th car, RM20. RM20 continues to utilize the hybrid space frame chassis our team has become known for,
which utilizes a 4130 tubular frame with structural carbon fiber sandwich panels
bonded in to increase rigidity while decreasing weight. Our suspension consists of custom CNC machined uprights and hubs which are
connected to the car via hand fabricated 4130 steel tubular a-arms. Braking is
handled with custom designed calipers and rotors and Tilton master cylinders.
RM20 is powered via a modified Honda CBR 600 F4i motorcycle engine, which
we customize with different camshafts, high compression pistons, and gapless
rings. The engine breathes through a rapid-prototyped plastic intake and custom
stainless steel headers. The engine package was completed by tuning the package for maximum drivability, predictable power delivery, and reliability. Power
is delivered to the ground through a custom CNC cam and pawl differential.
Pneumatic shifting and a custom heads-up display give us highly effective driver
interaction with the car. RM20 also features a full aero kit featuring a cooling
side-pod and front and rear wings.

Penn State’s 20th vehicle entry in the Series is designed with a primary focus on
reliability, lightness, and endurance, oriented around a fine-tuning of last year’s
design. Accents include an active aerodynamic package, diffuser, and a threestage rear wing.
The goal of this year’s vehicle was weight reduction. Our first major change was
the reduction from 13in wheels to 10in. By reducing the size of our suspension
package we have been able to drop a considerable amount of weight off the car.
We have added wheel speed sensors to allow us to fully utilize our electronics. Our mission would not be possible without the encouragement and support of our
University and sponsors: the Penn State Applied Research Lab, the Learning Factory, Timet, Stuckeman School of Art, General Motors, Volvo, John Deere, Bridgestone, GKN, Bosch, Chevron, Cummins, Jiffy-Tite, Kennametal, SKF, Schlumberger,

Through the whole build we have been focusing on making sure every part turns
out the best it can be. By taking the time early on to make a clean car we are able
to reduce reliability issues down the road. BRAKE : Tilton Master Cylinders w/ Wilwood PS Calipers

Spartan Formula
The design goals of this year’s Formula SAE car were to construct a very
lightweight and fast vehicle without compromising on strength and driver safety.
Hence we used Chromoly-4130 to construct the chassis and used fiberglass for
the body panels and seat. The flat shifter and paddle-shift mechanisms were
incorporated not only to decrease lap time but also to improve ergonomics. The
push rod actuated double wishbone suspension system was designed after
extensive research on vehicle dynamics and suspension geometry. Utilizing an
in line braking system has reduced the unsprung mass at the rear. Honda CBR
600F2 engine was used because of its high known reliability and easy availability. A single throttle body instead of 4 has been used to incorporate the use
of restrictor. The team purchased a MoTec M4 ECU to perform carburetor-to-EFI
conversion. Fuel system comprises of anti slosh filled aluminum fuel tank. A final
drive ratio of 4:1 is used to increase acceleration to an optimum level without
compromising much on the top speed. The restrictor, plenum and runners are
made by rapid prototyping. A custom designed steering system with 150% anti
Ackerman is used.
The 2014 YC Racing team had a major focus on decreasing vehicle weight,
increasing torsional rigidity, improving handling, and widening engine power
band. By incorporating 10”, 3 Piece, Keizer Aluminum wheels with 18x6-10 tire
sizes, the overall car weight was lowered by approximately 40 lbs. A zero-roll
suspension system was implemented in the rear of the vehicle and a push rod
suspension was implemented in the front. These suspension changes dramatically decreased vehicle tripodding around sharp turns, and issue which previously
caused a loss in drive power. The frame’s torsional rigidity was increased from
980 ft-lbf/deg to approximately 1180 ft-lbf/deg; the chassis rigidity increased to
2610 ft-lbf/deg by utilizing the engine block as a structural component. These
frame improvements were accomplished while still managing to decrease the
weight from previous years. This 2014 engine design incorporates high compression pistons. These pistons increased the power output by 7 hp. Overall the 2014
YC Racing team has made significant improvements to the design. Stop by our
paddock and see this All American Muscle Monster!

rail frame and have adopted a chassis construction technology that utilizes a
steel superstructure with bonded carbon fiber panels serving as triangulation
members. Carbon flexing A-Arms at all four corners with low mounted dampers
provide the vehicle with excellent handling and help keep the CG as low as possible. The drivetrain, utilizing a 450cc single mated to a spool, is kept simple and
easy to maintain by the use of an enclosed chain case. 97

For the VUM-14, Vanderbilt University Motorsports continued to focus on producing a simple and affordable high performance Formula car. These goals were
addressed by paying particular attention to the needs of the driver in terms of
comfort and control. The VUM-14 now features a pedal tray on rails for adjustability, and a shifter and clutch in close proximity to the steering wheel for quick
access. These simplified controls in addition to the custom formed seat help
maintain focus on driving. The team continues to use the Yamaha YFZ450 engine
which has resulted in significant reductions in weight and an increase in fuel
efficiency. Extensive suspension and tire modeling resulted in a new steering
design to reduce steering effort and bump steer. The VUM-14 will be using
Hoosier 6/18.0-10” LC0 tires for lower rotational inertia and a stickier compound
for better grip. We would like to send special thanks to the Vanderbilt University School of Engineering, our sponsors, and our advisors, Phil Davis and Dr. A.B. Bonds.

Clemson University Formula SAE
Shortly after the 2013 competition, we sat down to discuss what went right and
what went wrong. A long list of ideas was formed then trimmed and reworked
until our design philosophy for the 2014 car emerged. The three driving goals
were to continue our weight reduction with a target of removing 50lbs from the
previous car, finish the car by April 1 in order to test and validate designs, and design for serviceability so that anything that went wrong could be fixed. An evaluation of previous results showed that the team had a consistently solid showing
in dynamic events which could be improved upon through simple elements.
Fundamental to these elements was gaining a better understanding of what the
car is doing and what actually matters in the design. To that end, we focused on
maintaining designs that had proven themselves in previous years, fixing nagging
issues with the design and production, and creating better simulations to study
the effects of changes in the car. Our 2013 entry weighed 516lbs, down 10lbs from the 2012 car. Our goal for this
year is to move the car down to the 460lb range to make it more competitive in
acceleration and fuel economy, two areas

Wolfpack Motorsports
After a disappointing failure during the endurance of the 2013 competition, NC
State brings a newly designed chassis and suspension along with the addition of
an aerodynamics package to make this year’s team even more competitive. The
legendary Motec controlled turbocharged E85 engine package remains on this
years vehicle. The 75 lb-ft of torque from the engine reaches the ground through
Quaife internals with a custom housing and TRE halfshafts. This year’s drivetrain
features an all new eccentric chain tension adjustment. Suspension geometry
has been designed using an analysis of tire data to best use the Hoosier LC0 tires
chosen by the team. Ohlin Double Barrel shocks are the center of the suspension system and are actuated by pullrods front and rear. Brakes include 4-piston
AP-Racing calipers in the front and 2-piston AP calipers in the rear. All new for
Wolfpack Motorsports is the addition of a front wing, rear wing, and diffuser. The
design of which was optimized through extensive wind tunnel testing. The main
goal of this year’s team is to have a reliable turbo 4-cylinder car weighing in under 450 lb with aerodynamic aides and to excel and complete all dynamic events. BRAKE : Floating Rotors, 4 Piston Front, 2 Piston Rear

Aces Racing
This year the Ace’s Racing team has started from the bottom with a completely
new design called the AR14. The AR14 has a completely new drivetrain, suspension and chassis design due to a switch from 13” to 10” wheel size. The team
took a more in-depth study into aerodynamic systems resulting in a team first
functional under tray assembly. The AR14 achieved a low vehicle weight less than
370 pounds thanks to 10” wheels as well as the new chromoly chassis and premanufactured carbon tubing utilized in the double wishbone suspension. Driver
ergonomics were also addressed through a team designed steering wheel that
incorporates a push button shifter system into the driver specific hand molded
grips. Driver interface includes engine speed indicator lights as well as coolant, oil
pressure and ECU warning lights. 105

The 2014 vehicle is an upgrade for the team. With a new turbo, updated wing
profile, and light-weighted components, the car is going to be a new level of
competition. The team also believes the car is now rugged enough to last through
years of student abuse while maintaining its high level of performance. Another focus on the AR14 vehicle was vehicle testing. With a first run in February
2014 the team was able to test the various vehicle subsystems and the complete
vehicle for nearly three months. This allows the AR14 to perform at the next level

PBR14 is a large step for the University of Manitoba Polar Bear Racing team
incorporating many new areas of design. A full aerodynamics package, 4-1
exhaust header with the new CBR600RR, 10 inch diameter Hoosier tires, and a
new salisbury style differential are only the beginning of the big design list the
team has taken on for 2014. Immediately following the 2013 Lincoln competition,
the PBR team began the 5 month design process of the new PBR14 vehicle. The
new aerodynamic and suspension components ate up design time but the team
has buckled down to produce the team’s 5th CFRP monocoque for the PBR14 car
featuring more engine access and cooling.

VT Motorsports
VTM14 is the 27th vehicle produced by Virginia Tech Motorsports for competition in Formula SAE sanctioned events. The team established quantifiable goals
and a formal testing program to validate the predictive models used for system
level designs. A light weight, fuel efficient vehicle platform, incorporating a tube
frame chassis and single-cylinder engine was chosen. For the benefit of an
amateur driver, assistive control systems are included. Custom body molded
seating system is included along with adjustable pedals and a molded steering
wheel. An undertray with diffuser and a complete aerodynamic package were
designed in order to increase the tractive limits of the 10” wheels with Hoosier
LC0 tires. A single-cylinder, Yamaha WR450F powers the car utilizing a MoTeC
M400 engine management system. An adjustable limited-slip differential allows
the torque bias ratio to be tuned for acceleration and deceleration scenarios. The
suspension, powertrain, electrical and ergonomic systems were analyzed, tested,
and refined in order to ensure drivers of any skill level are capable of consistently
driving the car at its tractive limit, the primary goal of the 2014 vehicle.

participating in such an event for many consecutive years. This lead to an unusual
design, not from wanting to do something different, but from wanting to do
From a design perspective, nearly every system was redesigned to focus on something properly. As this is the first car with the current team, we have nothing

to improved functionality during the dynamic events. Major renovations for the intended to be as light as possible while remaining (much) safer than required
2014 car include the design of a drop-chassis, the auto-clutch manual shifter,
and satisfying rules. The other primary goals were manufacturability (per our busiand adjustable differential housing. Weight has been a major concern for Leopard ness model), reliability, and adjustability, something that seems to be missing from
Racing in the past. For 2014, a smaller, lighter 450cc engine replaces 2013’s
most designs seen in our preliminary experience spectating this event. 600cc power plant, and a complete redesign of the frame reduces its weight by
44% with stiffness increasing 27%. All of the student in the 2014 Leopard Racing Team would like to thank their adviser Dr. Scott Hummel, Serena Ashmore, Rob Layng and all of the technicians that helped us during this experien

Rutgers Formula Racing
The CFR14 race car is the 5th vehicle produced by the modern era of Concordia
Formula Racing. This vehicle was designed as an iteration of the CFR13 vehicle
which competed in Lincoln, Nebraska last year. The primary design criterions for
the CFR14 were to maintain the reliability of the previous iteration, stiffen the
chassis, increase lateral grip, lighten the drivetrain, and to drastically increase
the fuel efficiency of the engine. The rear-end of the chassis was re-designed
and analyzed extensively through the use of finite element analysis in order to
decrease critical stresses. The drivetrain has been re-designed and lightened
significantly while the engine has been tuned extensively on an engine dynamometer and on track in order to produce a broad torque curve, power on demand
and to be as fuel efficient as possible. Tire data was analysed and used to create
a simulation model to better determine suspension setups and increase the
performance of the vehicle.
In 2013, Rutgers Formula Racing underwent several design changes revolving
around the switch to a new engine, the three-cylinder Triumph Daytona 675.
The 2014 vehicle focused on the refinement of the Triumph engine and control
systems of the car to improve vehicle control and reliability. The newly-redesigned
driver cockpit features an improved seat with customizable pads. The 2014 model
retains the high performance capabilities of its predecessors while delivering a
more ergonomic driver experience.

Formula Student MADI
Formula Student MADI has been taking part in Formula SAE projects since 2006.
During this time 4 automobiles were produced. In 2014 competition year team
is presenting a new car FSM5. Our goal in this year: lightweight, low center of
gravity, reduced moment of inertia around vertical axis, better handling and road
holding.
In our new suspension we try to realize as much adjustments as possible. So with
our double unequal unparallel wishbone suspension with pull rod and antiroll bar
we can adjust: camber and castor, kingpin inclination angle, toe, anti-dive, antisquat and anti-rise, ride height, suspension stiffness, and ARB stiffness. Our goal
when we design a steering system is to provide a sufficient amount of Ackermann
angle change. Our construction allows us to change Ackermann from 0% to 80%. We use modular design chassis: front section - CFRP monocoque and rear space
tubular frame.

Gryphon Racing
The 2014 University of Guelph FSAE team is competing at Formula SAE Michigan
for the 8th time. For 2014 our car is greatly based on the car that was designed for the 2013 season but due to unforeseen circumstances was unable
to compete at Formula SAE Lincoln in 2013. By setting clear design goals and
remaining strictly objective for our 2014 car design while building by incremental
change on the previous year’s design we’ve been able to reach our design goals,
the results can be seen in the University of Guelph FSAE car. The emphasis of this
design has been to keep costs down and designs simple, while also improving on
past designs. This year we had a small devoted team and optimized our limited
resources. Why? Because race car.
In this year we decide to use 1-cylinder engine from ATV Yamaha YFZ450R.

Northwestern Formula Racing
NFR14 is Northwestern Formula Racing’s fifth vehicle for the formula SAE series.
This year’s focus was on allowing time in the schedule for more rigorous testing
to validate design goals to improve the reliability of the vehicle. This was realized
through simplicity in design, manufacturing, and maintenance. Design decisions
were made for driver comfort to reduce fatigue and give more consistent and
direct control over the vehicle, making it easier and safer to drive the car at its
limits.
This year’s car was made possible by the generous donations of our many sponsors and the hard work and dedication of all of our team members.

Formula Motorsport
The 2014 UW Formula Motorsports FSAE car features significant changes to most
of its systems. The suspension architecture has been moved to a 10” wheel package to save ~20lbs, and now integrates a 3rd spring on both the front and rear of
the car. The aero package was reworked to save weight and increase downforce
using hollow wing construction and leveraging CFD and wind tunnel testing. The
CBR600RR has been refined, and now makes use of a wet sump swivel pickup
to improve engine reliability, as well as significant dyno time to improve efficiency
and driveability. Composite shear panels were used in the floor of the chassis,
paving their way to further structural composites implementation in the future. BRAKE : Floating, ductile cast iron rotors, tophat-less,

In memorial
William “Bill” C. Mitchell
SAE International and Formula SAE have lost a design icon this past year. William
“Bill” C. Mitchell passed away at his home Mooresville, North Carolina on January 15,
2014.
Bill had been one of our Senior Design Judges at the Formula SAE competitions in
the United States for the past 15 years, and sponsored the Rookie Team award with
a copy of his “Racing by the Numbers” software. In recent years, Bill had also started
to donate his time and knowledge to students and organizers of the Baja SAE series
lending his knowledge and expertise to the Design Event in Auburn.
Bill was a mathematician by training with degrees from CalTech and Stanford. He
started in motorsports as a spectator, followed by several years as a flagger/corner
worker/marshal with the San Francisco Region of the SCCA, for whom he also wrote
a column in their magazine, The Wheel. This led to award-winning articles in the
SCCA’s Sports Car magazine. To the end, Bill had a subtle way with the written word.
In the early 80’s, Bill put his mathematics expertise to work on some of the first
personal computers and began the development of his “Racing by the Numbers”
program to calculate suspension geometry. Therefore, began his involvement as a
race engineer starting out in SCCA Club Racing and progressing through CART with
Chip Ganassi’s team and TransAm with Tom Kendall and Roush Racing, and others.
Bill not only was involved in Formula SAE but also presented SAE International
papers at the Motorsports Engineering Conferences in 1998 and 2000. His 1998
papers were “Asymmetric Roll Centers” and “A Method for Data Alignment”. The
2000 SAE paper was “Training Test Drivers with Data Acquisition”.
In the last few years, he has focused his time on his William C. Mitchell Software
usiness.
Current Design Captain at Formula SAE Michigan Anthony “Tony” Lyscio recalls his
interaction with Bill:
“What I can say is the Bill was an integral part of what I consider my FSAE family
and one whose interest and dedication to the mission of FSAE was inspiring. In
addition to the sponsorship stuff and his time as a design judge, he also spent
countless hours advising and working with different FSAE teams on suspension
related topics. For the last 5-6 years, he had also made a concentrated effort to
critique the design reports (all 120 or so of them) from a technical writing standpoint
and then providing written and verbal feedback to the teams at their request
(some waiting in line for hours to receive it). Again, offering something unique and
valuable to the students.
Whenever we caught up, in addition to the topics of engineering, motorsports,
and related topics, I also knew to expect questions about me, my family, and other
personal interests (my interests in Adventure Racing and cycling being of most
interest to him). He was a very caring and sincere man; generous with his time and
his knowledge.”
Bill will be remembered fondly as the gentle and generous person that he was. The
Formula SAE community is grateful to him for all his years of service and Design
Judge volunteering he truly took great joy in mentoring them regarding their design
reports and always was available to talk with teams.
