I have been involved in Formula Student for a number of years now, and the levels of innovation demonstrated at the event never fail to amaze me. With over 2000 students from 34 countries competing in one class this year, it should be a very exciting event. Formula Student is a fantastic initiative which gives its entrants the freedom of design to test their ingenuity, whilst also providing practical experience of working to specific deadlines, budgets and regulations. Having worked my way up in Formula One from a machinist at the Williams team in the 1970s to Team Principal at the MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS team today, I have been involved in many different aspects of the sport, from being a mechanic to R&D and aerodynamics. I know that practical experience is invaluable to any engineer. Whilst Formula Student can provide a grounding in motorsport, with many of our engineers at MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS having taken part during their university days, it also provides the foundations for all forms of engineering if students wish to take their career in a different direction. I have no doubt that the skills learnt by participating in Formula Student will help towards the achievement of future success. Good luck to all of this year’s entrants and I look forward to meeting many of you at the event.

ROSS BRAWN OBE TEAM PRINCIPAL - MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS FORMULA ONE TEAM FORMULA STUDENT PATRON

Welcome to Formula Student 2012. We were once again over subscribed, however we are delighted to have 132 teams from 37 countries participating at the 2012 event. This year there are vehicles with alternative powertrains including hybrids, electric vehicles and alternative fuels. We are especially pleased to have new teams from counties such as Pakistan, South Africa, Norway and Egypt. This year, for the first time, all teams with running cars will compete in a single class. The regulations for electric vehicles have been aligned with the FS Germany electric rules to make it easier for teams to compete in both competitions. The cost and sustainability events have also been merged and the fuel economy event is being judged on the CO2 produced. I would like to say a special thank you to our 2012 Partners; Airbus, Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes AMG HighPerformancePowertrains, National Instruments and Shell – we are extremely grateful for their support. Good luck to all teams attending the event and I look forward to seeing you at Silverstone Circuit!

JON HILTON FORMULA STUDENT CHAIRMAN

2 INTRODUCTION

The largest student motorsport event in the world. Formula Student challenges university students from around the world to design and build a single-seat racing car, which is then put to the test at the famous Silverstone Circuit. Students work together on the car, developing their creativity, technical abilities, teamwork and 3000 communication skills, as well as learning how to deliver projects to budget and deadlines. STUDENTS The competition offers teams the opportunity to undertake real-life challenges and logistics, and develop the skills they’ll need when they go on to work in industry. Run by the Institution, since Formula Student was inaugurated in 1998 tens of thousands have come through the competition, with graduates now featuring in every Formula One team. Its key aims are to inspire the next generation about the possibilities of engineering and address the skills 132 shortage in engineering. CARS The brief: Teams are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged them to develop a production prototype for a single-seat race car for autocross or sprint racing. The target customer for the final product is a non-professional racer, with high standards for performance and value for money.

34 How it works: COUNTRIES At the beginning of each academic year, university teams start to design their cars. Although they must work to defined safety standards, there are few restrictions on the overall design, thus encouraging innovation. As the year goes on, all the elements of the project must combine – and teams have to make important real-life choices about design, cost and materials. The conclusion of the year’s work is in July’s competition at Silverstone. Teams of judges, including representatives from across industry sectors, scrutinise all elements of the cars, as well as cost, fuel economy and design, ONE even the viability of the marketing plan. Scoring information is on page 6. WEEKEND This year, for the first time, cars running on alternative fuels will compete as part of the main field. Check what fuels the cars are using in the team list, starting page 18. Formula Student is: • A high-performance engineering project • Viewed by the motorsport industry as the standard for engineering graduates to meet, transitioning them from university to the workplace • The kite-mark for real-world engineering experience

I finished my PhD that year and got a job with British American Racing (BAR) straight To fi nd out where you fi t in visit www.shell.com/careers afterwards. I actually had my interview during Formula Student – they were based just up the road in Brackley, so I popped out for a few hours on the Friday and headed up there. Let’s deliver better energy solutions together. It was useful to have something to talk about and I actually spent most of the interview talking about Formula Student and some of the design and engineering challenges we had faced developing the car. After a few years doing vehicle modelling at BAR, I became a performance engineer in 2001, doing a lot of data analysis and simulation work. In 2004 Shell is an equal opportunity employer. I became race engineer on ’s car, and worked with him until 2009. I then became ’s race engineer in 2010, and since 2011 I’ve been Chief Race Engineer at Mercedes. FS helped me a great deal: I learned an awful lot which was enormously useful during the early stages of my career. The way Formula Student is structured means you get a very good insight into the design lifecycle of a racing car. You are forced to provide all the analysis that backs up your decisions. That has helped make it something that is hugely valued within the industry. When I took part 15 years ago not many people knew what it was; now everybody in the industry does.

James Painter Engineering Lead – Vehicle Integration, Bloodhound SSC I took part in Formula Student as part of Bath University’s BURT02 team in 2001 and 2002. For the first year we took part in the design category (then called Class 3), where we won with a perfect score. In 2002 we took part in the full event, and came 11th. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we achieved a tremendous amount with a small team of eight great people. The competition taught me a lot. The technical skills were obviously important, but it’s the things you can’t pick up in a lecture theatre – teamwork, the importance of effective communication and developing relationships with suppliers that proved just as useful when I was starting out on a career. After a few years in the defence industry working on jet engines I moved into motorsport and worked on a number of sportscar projects, including a 2 litre LMP3 car and a diesel Le Mans Sportscar Programme. I also worked on the development of exhaust energy recovery systems (EERS) for the automotive industry, designing turbochargers and turbogenerators. Two and a half years ago I began working on the BLOODHOUND Land Speed Record project. I’m now responsible for leading the integration of all the components inside the car, not easy when they include a Cosworth Formula One engine, an EJ200 jet engine and a hybrid rocket! The role is very broad, in the same week I can find myself working on the design for a Formula one engine intake, a 500litre jet fuel tank and a gearbox for the rocket pump. BLOODHOUND is breaking all sorts of new frontiers – designing a car that is capable of accelerating to 1000mph and stopping again safely presents many unusual challenges! Hear James talk about his work at the FS Business Networking Day in the Pavilion on Friday 13 July. He’ll be on from 10.30, along with four other speakers, and while you’re there you can check out our exhibition featuring stands from top automotive and manufacturing companies.
