CARBON FIBRE COMPOSITE MONOCOQUE CHASSIS FOR A FORMULA STUDENT RACE CAR - Leon Shi & Kieran Rice 2019

In 2019, we successfully implemented our first pair of carbon fibre composite monocoque chassis, replacing the tried and tested tubular steel space frame. The work presented in this report highlights this journey and is the culmination of over four years of development dating back to late 2014.

The design process of M15

The design of M15 started last year with the release of 2015 FSAE rules, which drastically changed the parameters to which we have to design the car.

Traction Control

With 30% more power and over 25% more torque, our new turbocharged car is proving a little hot to handle for the drivers. Luckily we have recently been testing Traction Control (TC) setups for use with our MoTeC ECU.
