Abstract
Formula SAE is an international collegiate design competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers in which students design and build a small, formula-style racecar. Because of power-train regulations, cars that exhibit the best handling characteristics have a distinct advantage. Utilizing a short-long arm suspension, most cars use dampers designed for mountain-bikes. Because dampers play a pivotal role in vehicle handling, and the mountain bike dampers used on previous MRacing vehicles are not well suited for our vehicle, we feel that a significant performance advantage can be obtained through constructing a custom set of dampers designed specifically for our car.Subjects
