powertrain

The Powertrain group ensures that reliable high-voltage power is supplied to the motors. This is achieved by harnessing energy from the custom-designed battery pack, a complex system where knowledge of composites, logical programming, and both high- and low-voltage electronics converge. The energy drawn from the battery is channelled to the self-developed inverter, which converts Direct Current (DC) into Alternating Current (AC). This conversion is essential for enabling the motors to utilize the energy efficiently, ensuring that the race car operates at peak performance.

aerodynamics

The Aerodynamics group works towards maximizing downforce by manipulating the airflow around the vehicle, which in turn increases traction and cornering velocities. They achieve this through design and manufacture of a lightweight Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) wing package.

The development process is iterated through a combination of 3D modelling in CAD (Computer Aided Design), CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations, comprehensive analysis, and real-world testing to validate our simulations. Additionally, our aerodynamic setup includes structural elements that attach the aerodynamic components to the monocoque, designed using FEM (Finite Element Method) to ensure the optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio for each part's fiber layup.

chassis

The Chassis group is responsible for planning, designing, and producing the race car's monocoque. Constructed primarily from carbon fiber, the team ensures the seamless integration of all other systems, whether inserted into or attached to the monocoque.

The monocoque is developed using CAD (Computer Aided Design) in SolidWorks for precise modelling, Abaqus for strength and stiffness simulations, and FiberSim to optimize the carbon fiber layup. Factors such as weight, stiffness, and safety are some of the parameters the group must take into consideration while producing the monocoque.

suspension

The Suspension group is tasked with the crucial role of developing all components that connect the race car to the road. The suspension system is essential for maintaining maximum tire contact with the ground, which is vital for race performance. A precisely tuned suspension can be the decisive factor between winning a race and losing control due to insufficient grip. This optimization is achieved by efficiently channelling driving forces to the in-board suspension, which manages heave and roll motions to enhance traction on the tarmac.

Drivetrain

The Drivetrain group focuses on optimizing power transmission from the engine to the wheels, ensuring maximum efficiency and performance. The primary goal is to design, validate, develop, and test the components that make up the drivetrain system. This is achieved through an iterative process involving 3D modelling in CAD, dynamic simulations, and comprehensive testing to validate design choices. Additionally, precision engineering and material science are incorporated to enhance durability and reduce weight.

The drivetrain integrates an in-wheel design, where motors are housed at the rim-center of each wheel through the upright and into the outboard suspension. This design maximizes efficiency, reduces mechanical losses, and improves overall vehicle dynamics.

control systems

The Control Systems group is committed to optimizing the performance of the race car by applying control and estimation theories. They are determined to improve the handling, stability, and drivability of the vehicle, which is done using the Torque Vectoring (TV) control system.

Additionally, extensive modelling and simulation techniques are utilized to replicate real-world conditions and dynamics. This approach enables the group to conduct efficient testing and optimizations long before the race car is produced and ready for action on the track.

data engineering

Data Engineering is responsible for developing and maintaining our data infrastructure. The importance of a well-structured data pipeline is critical, as it ensures that we maintain a competitive edge.

With over 300 sensors in our race car, they depend on their own software solutions to visualise data from our race car in real time. The vehicle performance relies heavily on what they learn from the data they acquire on the track.

autonomous systems

The Autonomous Systems group is tasked with transforming the race car into an intelligent, self-driving race car. To achieve this, the race car must possess the capability to perceive, comprehend, and adapt to its environment effectively.

The group develops the logic that serves as the race car's brain, employing advanced techniques like Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), controls, and path planning. This framework is integrated with with the vehicle’s sensory systems—receiving crucial data from sensors such as LiDAR which act as the race car's eyes and ears. Collectively, these technologies enable us to oversee all aspects of the car’s autonomous behavior, ensuring it can navigate and react in real-time to the racing environment.
