Team Details

The University of Toronto FSAE team looks to build on their success of the 2016 season. This year the team focused on weight reduction, driver ergonomics and downforce. This year the team features a hybrid carbon-steel chassis with the team’s first aerodynamics package. Out team would like our sponsors and supporters for the 2017 season. We look to make you proud in Hockenheim.

The University of Toronto Formula SAE Racing Team was founded in 1999 and has had many successful years in its 16 year history. We would like to thank our great sponsors for their support, our passion is only possible because of you.

UT11 marks the 13th vehicle produced by the University of Toronto since its inception in 1997. The knowledge and experience developed over the past 14 years has culminated in the design and manufacture of our 2011 vehicle. FSG2011 will mark the 4th appearance for Toronto at this event and are eager to fight for the championship.Strong focus was placed on developing the driver during the 2011 season. A STACK data acquisition unit was employed to log engine/vehicle parameters and analysis on specific driving styles were conducted. To reduce stress on the driver an electronic brake distribution controller was implemented to provide varying brake bias during trail braking vs. full braking applications.UT11 is the third season running the Honda TRX450R motor with focus on fuel efficiency and drivability. Engine compression has been raised from 12:1 to 13.5:1 and a stepped diameter exhaust header has been implemented to broaden the torque curve for a more usable power band.

The University of Toronto Formula SAE Racing Team is a student-run Engineering design team that designs, builds and races an open-wheel, open-cockpit race vehicle. Founded in 1997, we built our first competition vehicle (UT99) in 1999 and in the past years have won numerous awards and three Formula Student Championship titles gaining international recognition amongst our peers.

The University of Toronto Formula SAE Racing Team is comprised of a dozen engineering students. In a rapidly changing FSAE series, the UT09 team was able to adapt designs to accommodate new regulations, but also delved forward with higher-level initiatives. While making accommodations for the cross-section template, the front suspension system was also redesigned to maintain simplicity, ease of adjustability and linear kinematics for tuning. A switch from the previously used F4i to a light-weight single cylinder engine is one of several efforts to improve fuel economy. UT09 also features the second iteration of a CFRP monocoque frame, expanded DAq capabilities, along with continued development with a custom externally adjustable Salisbury-type differential; and 95% of it all is built by the students. The UofT team looks forward to a challenging 2009 race season with its competitors from around the world and is prepared to defend its top Canadian ranking.

Founded in 1997, the University of Toronto Formula SAE Racing Team has developed into a strong competitor in the FSAE-Formula Student series. The team holds three Championship titles at FS UK and top ten finishes at FSAE East. The team has grown to 15 engineering students who design and fabricate over 95% of all components themselves. UofT's debut in FS Germany comes with large advancements in vehicle design including its first monocoque tub, a student-written vehicle dynamics simulation, and engine research through simulation and dynamometer validation. A thorough dynamic track testing program allows the team to tune the suspension setup and a track-adjustable differential for different events. The UofT FSAE Team is also a strong promoter of collaboration between Universities and hosts the largest student run FSAE competition - The UofT Shootout. As Canada's leading team, we are proud to represent our country to our honourable FSAE colleagues from Germany and around the world.
