Kettering University Formula SAE

Kettering University Formula SAE We are a team of students at Kettering University who design, build, and race an open wheeled racecar in the Formula SAE Collegiate Design Series.

Kettering University (Formerly General Motors Institute) has a long and storied history in the automotive industry. The Kettering FSAE team strives to continue that legacy. Though much of the team's has been lost, small facts remain. The team was founded in the late 1980's. In 1998 and 1999, the team's solid axle, Kawasaki powered car won cost. In 2000, the car switched back to an independent rear

suspension. In the early 2000's, the team switched to the Honda F4 and F4i motors. In 2007, the team ran the Mahle 609cc 3 cyl engine. After failing endurance in 2007 and reevaluation of the Mahle sponsorship, a year was taken to regroup and redesign. Coming back in 2009 with a new car, a new engine (Honda CRF/TRX 450), a new goal, and a new 2 year design cycle, the team managed to post a score in all events at both FSAE West 2009 and FSAE 2010. Meetings both A and B sections are Monday evenings at 8pm in the SAE Garage or corner classroom in the basement of the Mott (Rm 1133).

We had a wonderful first track day of the summer term yesterday at the Mobility Research Center. We were focused on collecting data, performing both coast down and skidpad testing to do that. With the coast down tests, we were able to measure drag with and without our aero package. We also made vehicle dynamic setup changes to optimize skidpad performance. Overall, we had a very productive and successful track day.

Stay tuned to see the rest of their work, but for now you will have to take our word that it looks red hot
