Jerry Freeman (Huntsville, AL) is leaving for Memphis is 30 minutes to run the Sat. (wheelbase, track, suspension geometry, aero, etc) I'd suggest getting a fairly recent car, break it down from an engineering perspective and see what improvements can be made if you guys made something similar. While the cars look simple and you already have some building experience, there are some unique design trade-offs that must be made for this layout. Successful Formula car designers have been at it for a while. Do you guys want to build a car and then work toward competing in the RunOffs? Or do you want to build a car together for fun/bonding and maybe do an autocross, TT or some Regional races? Are you prepared to go through the Homologation process with SCCA? From your post, it sounds like the technical and fabrication knowledge is there for you guys but the experience already possessed by Formula car designers isn't.Īs always, the primary determination for your course of action is your final goal. When I was an Engineering student, I wanted to build my own race car too.
