ADVANCING THE DEVELOPMENT OF HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN MOTORSPORT Innovation Report Stephen Lambert 31 st May 2013 Innovation Report ABSTRACT Club motorsport, a low cost, amateur form of motorsport, forms a significant part of the motorsport industry in the United Kingdom. If efforts are not made to move towards more environmentally friendly technologies, then this form of motorsport is at risk of becoming irrelevant. One approach taken by other motorsport sectors has been to implement hybrid electric vehicle technology, which can result in improved vehicle performance on the race track. However, the companies that operate in the club motorsport sector do not typically have the resources and experience necessary to develop these technologies. An innovative process was used to guide the design of a new hybrid electric vehicle drivetrain for use in club motorsport. This process made use of the ability for vehicle manufacturers to set the vehicle specifications in club motorsport. A conjoint analysis of customer requirements was carried out, a first for the industry, and led to the development of a market simulation tool. A vehicle simulation tool was then developed to assist in the evaluation of the hybrid electric drivetrain design options.

  • Bill Cardell's Westfield SDV with Mazda 1.8 L Turbo Engine
    Bill Cardell's Westfield SDV with Mazda 1.8L Turbo Engine http://www.britishv8.org/Other/BillCardell.htm Bill Cardell's Westfield SDV with Mazda 1.8L Turbo Engine as published in British V8 Magazine, Volume XVI Issue 1, May 2008 Owner: Bill Cardell City: Palisade, CO Model: 2007 Westfield SDV Engine: Mazda Miata 1.8L turbo. Built by: Bill Cardell, Keith Tanner, and their staff at Flyin' Miata. Background Information: The history of Westfield Sportscars Ltd. started with a one-off replica of the 1956 Lotus "Eleven" LeMans race car. Historic grand prix racer Chris Smith built that first car for personal use in 1982. Just like the original Lotus Eleven, Smith's replica featured enclosed bodywork, including faired rear wheels. Because his replica was so well received, Mr. Smith was encouraged to develop his design into a kit for other enthusiasts. In 1983, Westfield Sportscars was officially launched. Westfield soon added a second car to their range, which they designed to closely resemble the bicycle-fendered Lotus "Seven" model. Bill Cardell's SDV, shown here, is the latest development of that theme. The original Lotus Seven was introduced in 1957. After Lotus discontinued it, in 1973, production was nearly immediately continued under exclusive license by Caterham Cars. When Westfield began offering Seven replicas, Caterham was obliged to protect their intellectual property through lawsuit. The suit was settled out-of-court with agreement from Westfield that both cosmetic and functional changes would be made to differentiate the Westfield SE model from Caterham's Seven (and hence from original Lotuses.) The design changes included more extensive use of fiberglass in lieu of aluminum panels, wider passenger compartments, and also independent rear suspension.
