Car #39
Info
The UUJ racing team has competed at the UK Formula Student competition for 6 years and the German FSG for 2 years. The team is made up of undergraduates from a range of courses within the Faculty of Engineering, The 08 car builds on knowledge gained from previous years, including FSG 07. New design objectives, including reduced weight and increased stiffness, have been integrated into the design spec for each component of this car. The team identified the main areas for a successful FSG car to be handling, acceleration and ergonomics/drivability. The improvements in this design include a highly adjustable suspension system with an accurately controlled roll centre, coupled with a rigid, spaceframe chassis. An optimised YZF R6 Yamaha engine has been selected as the power plant. Improved and customised driver seating position and control layout have been added. Design for manufacture ensures manufacturing and purchasing costs are kept to a minimum. Best of luck to UUJ R08.
