This year has certainly been a challenge for the team. Working online and barred from accessing our shop, we have focused primarily on simulation and the design of longer term projects. If we are able to return to our shop in the near future we aim on completing the 2020 vehicle and competing at FSAE California.

 

I am working on a dynamic vehicle model, which will help the team design future vehicles.

Our aero package got a big upgrade, with a full length undertray and diffuser. UBC placed first in our design room, which put us in the top 10 of 150 teams in North America.

​

I made the push to smaller diameter tires, redesigned the front upright assembly and reconfigured the entire suspension system to cope with the smaller tires and more downforce.

​

Although the car never raced, it was looking to be our fastest yet.

A custom electric system and a focus on reliability and testing set us up for a top 20 finish. Tragically, all that testing meant that our drive chain was worn, and it snapped on the last lap of endurance. 

​

I managed the suspension sub team, organized vehicle test days, and used data to inform design decisions as much as possible.

An upgraded aero package and better suspension tuning meant that our car handled really well, but an electrical failure in the endurance event held us back.

 

I redesigned the front and rear anti-roll bars, cutting nearly 2 Kg out of just those two subassemblies.

My first year in university was also my first year on the team. This was a big year for the team, as we managed to cut nearly 36 Kg out of the vehicle.

 

I designed the front and rear anti roll bars, and camber plates. The latter are still in use on our 2021 Car.
