STATIC DESIGN, ANALYSIS AND OPTIMIZATION OF

FORMULA 3
VEHICLE
by Tirthraj ,VIjit,Kapil & Samkit 7 th semester AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING
SARDAR PATEL INSTIUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, PILUDARA MAHESANA.

ABSTRACT
The project is aimed to design the frame, suspension & knuckle of
the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) formula 3 supra car which
is a single seated formula vehicle and is used as high speed formula
vehicle on specific track which is somehow similar to original formula
cars except that is smaller in size and has safer rollover capabilities.
The modeling of the frame, suspension & knuckle is done by using
creo parametric software. The design is checked by Finite Element
Analysis after estimating the load and weight of frame optimized.

WHAT IS F3?
4

Formula Three, also called Formula 3 or F3, is a class

of open-wheel formula racing. The various

championships held in Europe, Australia, South America
and Asia form an important step for many prospective
Formula One drivers. Formula Three has traditionally
been regarded as the first major stepping stone for F1
hopefuls it is typically the first point in a driver's career
at which most drivers in the series are aiming at
professional careers in racing rather than being amateurs
and enthusiasts. F3 is not cheap , but is regarded as a
key investment in a young driver's future career. Success
in F3 can lead directly to more senior formulae such as a
GP2 seat, or even a Formula One test or race seat.

F3 cars

Formula Three cars are monocoque chassis, using slick

racing tyres and wings. In many smaller or amateur F3

racing series older cars are frequently seen. Usually
these series are divided into two or more classes, to
allow more participation.
Engines in Formula 3 are all 2-litre, 4-cylinder naturally
aspirated spec engines. Engines must be built from a
production model block (stock block), and often must be
sealed by race or series organizers, so no private tuning
can be carried out. Honda engines (prepared by Mugen)
have perennially been popular, as have engines
produced by Volkswagen, Alfa Romeo, or Renault.
Currently the HWA-tuned Mercedes and the Volkswagen
engines dominate the British and European series, with
Mugen, TOM'SToyota, Opel and Fiat all being used by
