2009 Formula SAE® Virginia
President’s Message
Dear Formula SAE Virginia Participants, Organizers and Spectators:
Welcome to Virginia International Speedway and the Formula SAE Virginia
competition.
Formula SAE is steeped in tradition. For more than 30 years, this
competition has provided competitors with a unique brand of hands-on
learning. From the beginning of the design process through the fabrication
of the vehicle and on to the actual competition, students are in charge.
They make the decisions and find the solutions. It’s engineering education
at its very best.
Formula SAE also provides a unique form of competition. This week,
collegiate engineering students from around the world will compete
in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge their
engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students will work
hard and compete to win. Some will accept awards for first place, others
will not. But all will leave here a better engineering student.
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.
Good luck to everyone competing; I hope that you all do well. Enjoy the
competition and the camaraderie that you will share.
To the sponsors, volunteers and faculty advisors here this week, thank you.
Without you, this competition would not exist. Each of you deserves credit
and respect. Enjoy the week!
Sincerely,

James E. Smith, PhD

2009 SAE International President

Concept of the Competition
T
he Formula SAE® Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and
graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula style,
autocross racing cars. To give teams the maximum design flexibility and the freedom to
express their creativity and imaginations there are very few restrictions on the overall
vehicle design. Teams typically spend eight to twelve months designing, building, testing and
preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions themselves give teams the chance to
demonstrate and prove both their creation and their engineering skills in comparison to teams from
other universities around the world. Registered for this event are 40 collegiate teams from Canada and
United States and first time entry India. The end result is a great experience for young engineers in a
meaningful engineering project as well as the opportunity of working in a dedicated team effort.
For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged
them to produce a prototype car for evaluation as a production item. The intended sales market is the
nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. 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 and the prototype vehicle should actually cost below $25,000. 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 three days, the cars are judged in a
series of static and dynamic events including: technical
inspection, cost, presentation, and 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 Report: 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 Report: 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 fake manufacturing
firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend autocross 2009 Formula SAE
racing market and that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed. National corporate
sponsors:
dynamic Events Gold Sponsors
Acceleration: The race cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from a standing
start over a distance of 75 meters.
General Motors
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.
Autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities Honda R&D
on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the Hoosier
performance features of acceleration, braking and cornering into one event. The results of Solidworks
the Autocross scores determine the starting order for endurance. Sunoco Inc
Skidpad: 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 Silver Sponsor
the number 8, the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can be absorbed Autodesk
(up to 1.4g).
Endurance: Over a distance of 1.1 miles the cars have to prove their durability under long- Award Sponsor
term conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, fuel economy, reliability – the William C. Mitchell Software
cars have to prove it all.

1 University of Wisconsin - Madison
The 2009 University of Wisconsin - Madison vehicle, the 209, strives to be a
fast, light and reliable vehicle. The 209 marks key changes to accomplish these
tasks, including a brand new forced induction engine, improved suspension
kinematics, a lighter steel space frame and enhanced driver interface. Powering
this year’s vehicle is a KTM 525 single cylinder engine. Additionally, a variable
geometry turbocharger provides forced induction which increases power output
while minimizing turbo lag. The suspension has been designed with the use
of kinematics software and compliance data to more accurately represent the
vehicle’s ride characteristics. The frame has been shortened in the rear from
the main roll hoop back, thus reducing the weight of the system. To improve
driver interface with the car, all driver controls are now located on the steering
wheel and communicate their functions over the Controller Area Network. These
significant design changes, in conjunction with overall system integration, make
the 209 a well-rounded and fiercely competitive vehicle.

The 2009 chassis was born from a clean slate and brings an all new space frame
design with a focus not only on weight reduction, but polar moment of inertia. The
wheels of the car have been pulled in, narrowing the track width and increasing
response to directional changes. The corners are completely re-designed
including new aluminum hubs; the suspension gets pushrods all around. Engine
development has been furthered with a new restrictor, intake, and light weight,
more responsive 4 into 1 exhaust. A ducted rear radiator and cast wet sump keeps
everything cool and oiled. S&T aero moves ahead not necessarily with a huge
down-force increase, but rather a focus on balance and reduced drag. Drive-train
has been updated with a more robust Salisbury differential paired to a single
reduction chain drive which significantly reduced part count. The electrical system
has been outfitted with a new integrated dash and steering wheel as well as
closed loop shifting actuated by a mechanical paddle and cable setup. The overall
project focused on an early completion thanks to simple systems with increased
manufacturability; the idea being that the most possible testing time is key to
success.

Urbana Champaign

The University of Illinois Formula SAE team focused on improving and evolving a
very successful design from 2008 while adhering to the 2009 rules. The front-
end of the car became larger, in accordance with the new template rules, but we
did not have to make drastic changes because of our starting point from 2008.
Mid-way through 2008 it was decided the team would incorporate a rear box to
house the differential on the 2009 car. This gives us significantly more options
for which to mount our suspension points and other parts in the car. With these
additional mounting points, rear-end packaging is much less constricted, and it
is much easier to make suspension changes to tune the car or to make routine
maintenance. The suspension is designed to have the same weight transfer
distribution as what made us so successful at VIR in 2008. In addition our
damping rates have increased, and are more adjustable thanks to our damper
selection. The 2009 car has the same engine as the 2008 car, but new features
this year are a new-design, single-piece, rapid-prototype intake and revised
cooling with an air duct. Overall, the 2009 University of Illinois Formula SAE
car is a solid engineering solution to the 2009 rules and improvement to a very
good car.

11 University of Massachusetts -
Lowell
In its sophomore year, the River Hawks Racing team from the University of
Massachusetts - Lowell has implemented the lessons learned in their first
competition to improve in every area. The 2009 car has a much lighter chassis,
with carbon fiber stiffening panels to replace much of the triangulating uniaxial
members. An adjustable anti roll bar with dual-blade setup has also been
designed and employed. The drive train is a single spool design, to cut costs
as well as to simplify the rear end. Control arms, along with a redesigned clevis
were used to add more adjustability to the suspension design. Along with this
the uprights were modified to significantly reduce the un-sprung mass. The
controls and cockpit have been completely over-hauled including a paddle
shifter, and an adjustable pedal assembly. A supercharger donated by Eaton
has been added to the power plant, and the intake and exhaust designs have
been analyzed and fine-tuned to optimize performance in race conditions.
Further, the fuel tank has been upgraded from a dual-paint can design to a
purchased fuel cell.
The River Hawks team would like to thank all their sponsors, friends and family
for all the support.

Cooper Motorsports 2009 Formula SAE entry represents a three year legacy of
continuous design improvement. Extensive Cosmos and NEI FEA simulation along
with physical testing have been used to aggressively minimize system weights.
Additionally, advanced materials, such as titanium and carbon fiber, have been
incorporated into various systems to also achieve drastic weight savings. FLUENT
and WAVE CFD analysis have been used to significantly improve the volumetric
efficiency of our restricted engine. These results have been verified using our
advanced CarSim based hardware in the loop engine dyno setup. Inroads have
also been made in the optimization of our embedded electrical system through
custom PCB electronics with CANbus integration to even a lightweight lithium
battery. Together, all these improvements should make 2009 our best year yet.

14 Rutgers University
The 2009 Rutgers Formula Car, with its 600cc Honda CBR engine and 65 inch
wheelbase, is both astutely nimble and explosively powerful. The steering wheel
mounted interface for the electronic vehicle control package puts the driver
boldly in control. The driver can adjust brake bias, anti-roll bars, traction control,
and automatic shifting, while keeping both hands on the wheel. A 50-channel
telemetry and data acquisition system takes the guesswork out of tuning
and driver training. The steel space frame chassis is designed for simplicity,
making repairs a breeze and suspension tuning painless. The engine can be
removed from either the top or the bottom, allowing maximum flexibility when
quick repairs are needed. Advanced suspension geometry with precisely tuned
anti-squat and anti-dive features leads to stunningly stable handling all around
the G-circle. Likewise, an aerodynamic undertray offers 50 pounds of additional
downforce on a 35mph corner. From handling, to control, to aesthetics, the
2009 Rutgers Formula Car is a truly remarkable vehicle.

For 2009, the University of Michigan-Dearborn Formula SAE team set out to build
upon last year’s design iteration. Revolving around a two cylinder engine mated
to a CVT, the design has reliability, cost-effectiveness, and drivability as primary
objectives, while having ample performance and appropriate dynamics marketed
towards the “nonprofessional weekend autocross racer.” These objectives served
as an outline during the design stage and were broken down into Suspension,
Chassis, and Powertrain categories. The undertaking of this car was to be similar
to that of an OEM, using “off the shelf” parts wherever feasible. These parts offer
reliability, availability, and high quality production, while most importantly saving
time and cost associated with custom manufacturing. Our team would like to
thank the following for their support: UofM-Dearborn College of Engineering, Ford

The Cedarville University Jackets Racing team has really stepped it up this year.
Completely re-designing their chassis, suspension, and steering components
to meet the new cockpit templates was no small task, but they rose to meet
it. Composite panels were added in the steel tubular space frame to increase
torsional rigidity without the full weight of added members. They also made sure
to include both front and rear adjustable anti-roll bars to keep the car cornering
tight. Their lightweight composite seat was molded using a 95th percentile male
and shaped to be ergonomic and comfortable.
Cedarville has done their engine work as well. The rapid prototyped intake
and custom bent exhaust were both dynamometer tested using variable
length runners to validate computer models. Also, with in-dash tachometer,
speedometer, water temperature, oil pressure, gear indicator, and shift lights,
Jackets drivers are always kept aware. In the interest of convenience and
reliability, their electronic shifting system means the Jackets can shift with just a
button, so there’s no need to keep filling up those CO2 bottles.

The overall design goal for NIU09 is a minimalistic, simple, lightweight and
reliable car, keeping in mind the intended customer of the weekend auto-crosser.
The goal is to present a vehicle which is well packaged, easily serviceable,
and easily tunable. One of the most unique features of the NIU09 is that 95%
of the components are student designed and built as opposed to purchased
components. This allows for great reduction of weight and cost as well as better
part utilization. Extensive FEA analysis was performed on all components using
the Calspan Tire data. The car is a result of the hard work of many dedicated
students who sacrifice and devote their time to the cause. NIU Motorsports

new for 2009, is the implementation of anti-squat and anti-dive suspension
geometry. The chassis was completely revamped due to the regulation changes
implemented and also to accomodate the suspension redesign. In 2009 our FSAE
team also included LTU’s young Transportation Design program into the design of

ERAU Racing based at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, FL
has created the SS250 race car for the 2009 FSAEV and 2009 Formula Hybrid
competitions. The main goal for this year’s team was to create a functional and
formidable base vehicle capable of being successful in both competitions and a
hybrid conversion kit that can be easily added to the base vehicle. The design
philosophy has been to maximize fuel efficiency and vehicle handling while
minimizing weight. The vehicle has also been designed to conform to both the
FSAE and Formula Hybrid rules and regulations.
SF-F5 is USF’s car for the 2009 competition. Based off of our 2008 car, we
refined components while making changes to conform to the new rules. We
are continuing the use of a Suzuki LT-R450 single cylinder and squeezing
even more power from it with the use of a Garrett turbocharger. Suspension
is based off our previous years vehicle with changes to fit the larger frame
and to improve geometry. With an earlier start this year, more testing is
scheduled to tune the car with the new turbocharger and more focus on
driver training.

The design focus of the Sooner Racing Team in 2009 was to improve vehicle
mass properties, integrate the new Aprilia RXV 5.5 successfully, improve the
overall aerodynamics package, and achieve a total vehicle weight goal of under
400 pounds. With the complete overhaul of the chassis, the larger frame
increased vehicle stiffness and the repackaging of components reduced the
overall vehicle CG height by 10% and the polar moment of inertia by 15%
from previous design, despite its whale like appearance. Dubbed “Karen the
Killer Whale,” the SRT-09 should give the competition a run for its money. First
drive was completed on February 14th and vehicle unveiling was completed on
March 13th 2009.

The design of this year’s vehicle has been focused on embracing the design from
previous years that has worked well while implementing new designs to reduce
weight, reduce cost, and increase performance. The frame for this years car has
been reduced by over 30 pounds while maintaining adequate torsional rigidity.
A key part of this years car was also the differential. We machined a housing for
the Torsen T-1 differential and were able to utilize the large splines to drive our
car as the part was intended to be used. This differential in combination with
the Taylor Race drivetrain components make it a “bulletproof” setup. This years
engine was from our rookie year car and is a CBR 600RR. It has now been fit
with Electromotive controls for ignition and fuel. The body for the 2009 car was
designed by our students and built in conjunction with Able Manufacturing. It is
a thermoformed body which is light weight and can easily be modified to suit the
customer’s eye.
