2018 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 38th 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 many different nations will
compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge their
engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills.

This unique event not only reflects the spirit of competition, but also offers
a glimpse of the future of automotive engineering and design. Formula
SAE alumni are working throughout motorsports engineering, including the
automotive, aviation and motorsports industries.

The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will win first place,
others will not. But all will leave here a winner 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,

Mircea Gradu, Ph.D.

2018 President
SAE International

Sponsors.....................IBC 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 four days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events
including: technical inspection, cost, presentation, 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: 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: 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 fictional 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.

scores determine the starting order for endurance.
TOTAL POINTS: 1000
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).

Endurance: Over a distance of 22 km, the cars have to prove

their durability under long-term conditions. Acceleration,
speed, handling, dynamics, fuel efficiency, reliability – the
cars have to prove it all.

The 2018 York College Racing team is happy to be back at the Michigan Inter-
national Speedway with a new car boasting several improvements. Decreasing

Formula SAE
the weight of the car has been a main focus of the entire team with emphasis
on frame, body components, and intake. Our engine team moved to a high-end
performance ECU with greater tuning capabilities and optimized the final drive
to balance acceleration and top speed, and a new carbon fiber intake with our
Aprilia 450 SXV engine. The weight of the brakes and uprights has also been
reduced thanks to the suspension team. The body team has also designed with Brooklyn, Michigan
weight reduction in mind, using carbon fiber as opposed to fiberglass like years
before, yielding a weight reduction of 43%. York College Racing is excited to be
competing this year.

The York College Racing Formula Team extends its sincerest thanks to our spon-

Last year’s vehicle (EMS17R) performed admirably reaching recorded corner-

ing speeds of 1.8-2 g’s and placing in top 20 at almost every dynamic event
in Lincoln FSAE, finishing 18th overall. However, more validation and testing
would be required to prove our design. For this reason, the overall design was
kept from EMS17R to EMS18R incorporating our usage of a full Data Acquisi-
tion (DAQ) system and new testing plans. Using our new data, small improve-
ments have been made to each subsystem to reduce weight where possible
and tune the vehicle for faster lap times.

56 Formula Hardrocker Racing

For FHR 2018, our primary design objectives were to focus on an elegant, simple
car, designed with ease of manufacturing in mind. For example, the team focused
on using CNC waterjet and plasma-cut machines because they are faster and
more cost effective than a manual or CNC mill.

Another priority was weight reduction of the car, taking it from 450 lbs without
driver in the previous year, to 400 lbs (an 11% decrease). This makes a substan-
tial performance increase possible without a need for substantial changes to aero
or drivetrain. In other areas, the team chose to make large changes, moving from
a hybrid composite chassis to a steel space frame to keep manufacturing costs
down and to make the car more serviceable. In other systems, such as suspen-
sion and powertrain, the team took a more iterative design approach, to keep a
simple and similar design.

According to these ideals, the whole chassis has been redesigned. For this com-
petition, the suspension geometry has changed reducing the rim size from 13in to
10in. Furthermore, the team has improved the aerodynamic interaction between
elements as well as reduced the CoG height.

During the previous seasons, the team has learned the importance of obtaining
data and analyzing it to make the car faster and efficient. For that reason, the
team has tried to make every kilometer of testing useful using models to save
testing time, and evaluating different setup parameters and obtaining data to

goals the team decided to buy the 2017 KTM 450 sx-f for the engine in Car 83.
This engine supplied 20 more HP than the Yamaha YFZ 450 engine that was used capable and motivated people

Keeping our designs simple, and easy to manufacture, will keep the cost of all our
designs low. For example choosing to have a steel space frame that is tig welded
was easier and cheaper than having a monocoque frame. To make the car more
driver friendly we implemented a hydraulic clutch to make shifting gears in the
car easier and keep the car from stalling. Car 83 has double push rod suspension
with Öhlins TTX25 MkII adjustable dampers. These shocks allow for quick adjust-
ing which will help the driver tailor the car to different track conditions.

competing for 2 years. This year we are running a single-cylinder Honda CRF450X
engine and 10 inch wheels for a smaller, lighter, and more agile car than we’ve
designed in the past.

We’d like to thank our sponsors and faculty for making this team possible with
their continual support.

The major improvement of this year is the implantation of a data acquisition system
on the vehicle with several sensors to allow us to do fine tuning on pretty much all
the vehicle’s components. Adjustments like differential gearing and camber, toe-in,
toe-out and caster were made following the installation of the DAS. All electrical
components were simplified, clarified and made easier to troubleshoot and repair.

We also rethought our sponsorship model which has helped us acquire a lot more
expertise in fiberglass, laser cut and media communications.

wing cores allow for new, lightweight construction. Other improvements include
smaller rear brake calipers and downsizing bearings throughout the suspension
and other subsystems, leading to further weight reduction. The team focused on
accelerating their schedule in order to have more testing time than ever before,
allowing us to configure our car to our drivers.

The entire team would like to thank everyone at Rutgers University as well as all

Our vehicle design continues to incorporate a composite driver cell and Yamaha
FZ-07 motor for its newest model: The Titan XI. Additions to the vehicle from its
previous model include magnesium wheels and an anti-roll bar. The primary ob-
jective for Titan Racing continues to be drivability, which is reflected in ergonomic
features such as an assisted launch system and electronic shifting. The Titan XI
includes an adjustable aerodynamic package as well as a data acquisition system,
which will serve as a reliable testing apparatus for the development of future
models.

Lastly, we thank those who created before us. We look forward to celebrating this
new achievement with all of the alumni who have worked so tirelessly to build this
program to what it is today. Go Titans!
