Cal Poly Pomona Formula SAE is proud to show its 2016 Formula SAE vehicle. With an incremental improvement other the previous car the team is looking for the podium. The major additions to the new vehicle include an electronic throttle body, LCD display on the dash, and an electronically actuated shifting system. An increase in downforce and a reduction in weight should allow the 2016 car to be Cal Poly Pomona’s most competitive car yet.

The Cal Poly Pomona Formula SAE Team has been competing since 1988. The Southern California based team had its most successful year in 2014, placing 14th in Michigan, 4th in Lincoln, and 9th in Germany. With ten inch tires and a new power plant, the 30 person team is eyeing the podium. Featuring a suspension system that can be adjusted in more ways than you can count, the 2015 car, lovingly named “Eric,” represents a reevaluation of the existing formula.

Info
Cal Poly Pomona Formula SAE has been around since 1988. We are a school from Pomona, CA USA. Since 2000, we will have travelled to 3 international competitions held in England, Italy, and Germany. The cars we design and build are simple, lightweight, and powerful. For the 2009 car, we weighed in at competition at 192kg (424lbs) and produced 107 horsepower. We are extremely proud of our car and our school, and are excited to be able to run with some of the best teams in the world! www.csupomona.edu/~fsaeMembers:Angeles ArellanoJeff BerghKevin CasteloChristopher ChockLuis FariasCarlos GonzalezCody GonzalezOmar GonzalezChris GumbletonDaniel MercadoFrank MestemacherCharles ReevesChristopher RiniPiotr SlusarzRoss StringhamAndrew TanWarren Van RyzinGino VillanuevaCameron WaltersRaven WengDavid WhitakerFaculty Advisor:Professor Clifford Stover
