2009 Formula SAE® Virginia President’s Message

Dear Formula SAE Virginia Participants, Organizers and Spectators: Welcome to Virginia International Speedway and the Formula SAE Virginia competition. Formula SAE is steeped in tradition. For more than 30 years, this competition has provided competitors with a unique brand of hands-on learning. From the beginning of the design process through the fabrication of the vehicle and on to the actual competition, students are in charge. They make the decisions and ﬁnd the solutions. It’s engineering education at its very best. Formula SAE also provides a unique form of competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from around the world will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork skills. The students will work

Formula SAE alumni are working throughout motorsports engineering, including the automotive, aviation and motorsports industries. Good luck to everyone competing; I hope that you all do well. Enjoy the competition and the camaraderie that you will share. TToo the sponsors, volunteers and faculty advisors herheree this week, thank you. Without you, this competition would not exist. Each of you deserves credit and respect. Enjoy the week! Sincerely,

The intended sales market is the VIR Site Map ...... 3333 nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Therefore, the car must have very high performance in terms of its acceleration, braking, and handling qualities. The car must be low in cost, easy to maintain, and reliable. In addition, the car’s marketability is enhanced by other factors such as aesthetics, comfort and use of common parts. The manufacturing firm is planning to produce four (4)(4) cars perper day for a limited production run and the prototype vehicle shouldshould actually cost below $25,000. The

Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: technicaltechnical inspection, cost, presentation, and engineering design, solo performance trials, and high performance track endurance. These events are scored to determine how well the car performs. In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations.
