Info
The vehicle targets were based on a point mass lap time simulation. As a result, the MRT17 features a CFRP monocoque, an improved aerodynamics package (front, mid, and rear wings),and an E85-powered naturally aspirated single cylinder engine. Alongside vehicle development, the McGill Racing Team focuses on increasing documentation of the design process including simulation, analysis, and testing, as well as improving project management and team communication.
Engineering Design Priorities:
System Integration
Lap-Time Simulation
Weight Reduction
Manageable Power
Maximized Downforce
Electronic Reliability

2015
Info
The vehicle targets were based on a point mass lap time simulation. As a result, the MRT16 features a CFRP monocoque for the first time, a re-designed aerodynamics package (front, mid, and rear wings),and an E85-powered naturally aspirated single cylinder engine. Alongside vehicle development, the McGill Racing Team focused on increasing documentation of the design process including simulation, analysis, and testing, as well as improving project management and team communication.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Lap Time Simulation
Manageable power
Weight reduction
Maximized downforce
Electronic reliability
enhanced ergonomics

2013
Info
The MRT15 combustion prototype will mark the McGill Racing Team's 15th entry into the FSAE series. For the first time, MRT and the former McGill Hybrid Racing Team have joined forces to design and build both an electric and a combustion vehicle from the ground up. MRT15 is powered by the Rotax DS450 single-cylinder engine and features a full aerodynamics package. Focus has been set on developing a reliable yet competitive package backed by simulation and physical validation.
