Formula Race Engine DevelopmentProblem Statement

The Formula SAE competition is an international student design challenge in which teams design, build, and race an F1 style vehicle. The 2015 FIU formula car will require a complete engine package that conforms to a series of competition rules. It must also integrate well with the rest of the vehicle systems and perform reliability and safely throughout the rigorous timed race events.

Goals and Objectives• Rank with in the top 50 teams • Complete all dynamic events
