2013-2014 vs. 2014-2015 Car 2013-20142014-2015 Performed well but: Cornering Suspension Intake Manifold Oversized Resolutions: Suspension redesign Intake relocated Frame reductions Braking Stability
3
Frame 95 th percentile 10” diameter impact Safety factor above helmet Imaginary line from mid hoop to main hoop

Frame
6
Vent hood Fabricate Sheet Metal Plastic Ductwork 1 Phase Motor
7
2013-2014 vs. 2014-2015 Suspension 2013-20142014-2015 Pull Rod Poor cornering Limited adjustability Push rod Adjustability Improved Handling
8
2014-2015 Front Suspension Lightweight Uprights Improved Roll Centers Incorporates Caster and KPI Improved Camber Gain
9
Camber Change Calculator
11
Camber Vs. Steering Input Calculator Excel Calculator Developed to Output Camber Angle for Varying Caster, KPI, and Steering inputs
12
Redesigned Lightweight Uprights Lengthened to Improve Roll Centers Overall Weight Reduced Constructed from 6061-T6 Aircraft Grade Aluminum
13
Coil Over Redesign Proper shocks can correct handling problems Stiffer shocks heat up tires faster 1 to 1 rocker ratio
14
Rear Suspension Change from Pull-Rod to Push-Rod System Suspension articulation will be increased Redesigned A-arms to eliminate bending moments
15
Rear Upright Design Weight Reduction Adjustability Room for Brake Caliber Attachment Adjustable Toe- In /Out
16
Ackermann Steering Geometry
17
Center of gravity Intersection of Ackermann
18
Rack-and-Pinion Steering
19
Wheels Carbon Fiber Wheels Over budget Aluminum
20
Brake Selection Moved to 2+2 Braking System Will utilize same calipers, master brake cylinders Different size Rotors for braking distribution Modifications to rear and front uprights in process Splined Rear Wheel Hub Splined Rotor Mount Brake Caliper Bracket
21
Selection Criteria Based on Car & Driver mass of 310 kg (Last years car + 90kg driver) 3 second stop time from 50 mph (22.352 m/s)
22
Braking Force per Individual Brake 60% in the Front, 40% in the Rear
23
Braking Components 1-3/4” Splined Rotor Mount Wilwood Dynapro Single
