platteville's FORMULA team

UW-Platteville's Formula SAE team is a motivated group of undergraduate students from a wide variety of disciplines including, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Industrial Technology Management, Business Administration, and many others. The Formula Team demands students to apply their classrooms skills, while integrating the design process of research, design, simulate, build, validate and continuously improve designs. It is a relatively young team, and growing rapidly. The team currently designs the car around a 2013 Yamaha WR-450f engine that is controlled by a stand-alone Microsquirt ECU which allows us to tune the engine for power and efficiency. The use of aluminum and composites has increased immensely over the past three years and we are excited to be utilizing carbon fiber for many parts on this year’s competition vehicle. In June, Platteville will be competing in Formula SAE California for the first time, looking to improve on their formula SAE Lincoln performance from last year. 

FORMULA SAE SERIEs

The International Formula SAE program is an engineering design competition for undergraduate and graduate students. The competition provides participants with the opportunity to enhance their engineering design and project management skills by applying learned classroom theories in a challenging competition. The engineering design goal for teams is to develop and construct a single-seat race car for the non-professional weekend autocross racer with the best overall combination of design, construction, performance and cost. For more information on the competition please visit the Formula SAE Series website.

noteworthy designs

  • Adjustable carbon fiber suspension
  • Rapid prototyped intake with converging-diverging nozzle
  • Pneumatic paddle shifting system
  • Composite undertray, diffuser, and nosecone
  • Stand alone Microsquirt engine management system
