2006 Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Racecar Competition

The Society of Automotive Engineers hosts a competition every year to challenge teams of undergraduate and graduate level to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with a small formula style autocross racing car. This presentation describes the analysis, process, design and construction of the vehicle Minnesota State Mankato registered for the 2006 Formula SAE Competition. It includes details on the fuel utilized (E-85),-fabrication process, cost, and manufacturability. Our goal was to build a car with high performance qualities in acceleration, braking, and handling, in order to demonstrate and prove our creation and engineering skills in comparison to other universities around the world
