Designing an upright vehicle for Formula SAE requires a multidisciplinary approach that combines expertise from various fields including engineering, mechanics and materials science. The goal is to build a car that meets or exceeds the specifications outlined by the governing body while showcasing innovative design and manufacturing techniques. A key aspect of this challenge lies in optimizing weight distribution, as the vehicle's center of gravity must be positioned to ensure stability during high-speed maneuvers. This necessitates careful consideration of materials selection, structural integrity and overall vehicle geometry. Additionally, the team must balance performance with safety, taking into account factors such as crash testing, braking and handling. By merging creativity with practical knowledge, participants in Formula SAE can push the boundaries of what is possible in vehicle design.
