Title:

UNH Precision Racing

The University of New Hampshire’s Precision Racing Team annually designs and manufactures a formula style vehicle for a Formula SAE competition. When developing the vehicle, the team needed to follow all regulations and design criteria set by FSAE. The team’s goal was to have a vehicle that was able to perform well in the diverse static and dynamic portions of FSAE competition. The team was split up into subgroups that would each be tasks with manufacturing any components needed. The frame team designed the chassis to be able to withstand forces applied to the car, while keeping in mind that it needed to support all vehicle systems and meet criteria related to stiffness, weight, and safety. The suspension team developed an independent pushrod suspension system that would keep the center of gravity and roll center centralized and low. The controls team fabricated all components related to the driver inputs, including the braking and steering systems and seat. The powertrain team was responsible for the performance and reliability of the naturally aspirated engine, exhaust, intake, drivetrain, and electrical components. The aerodynamics team was responsible for the nose cone, body panels, and all aerodynamic components used to increase aerodynamic performance and protect the driver.
