2010 Formula SAE® Michigan
President’s Message
Dear Formula SAE Participants and Organizers:
Welcome to the Formula SAE competition at Michigan International
Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan.
Formula SAE is steeped in tradition and competition. Now more than 30
years old, Formula SAE provides the real-world challenges of systems
engineering, design and problem solving, along with the teaming
challenges of collaboration and cooperation. In short, Formula SAE, along
with all of the SAE Collegiate Design Series competitions, provides the
skills and experiences needed for a well-rounded engineering education.
In addition to learning, Formula SAE also provides a unique form of
competition. This week, collegiate engineering students from many
different nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events
designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving and teamwork
skills. The students will work hard and compete to win. Some will win first
place, others will not. But all will leave here a winner because they will be
better engineering students.
Good luck to all who are competing in this event. Also, I want to thank
everyone for their hard work, support, volunteerism and participation.
The experiences and the learning that you gain this weekend will last
throughout your lives.
Sincerely,
Dr. Andrew Brown Jr., P.E., FESD, NAE

2010 President

Team Information............ 10 For the purpose of this competition, the students are to assume that a manufacturing firm has engaged

Key Players..................... 52 nonprofessional weekend autocross racer. Therefore, the car must have very high performance in terms
MIS Site Map.................. c3 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) cars per day for a limited
production run and the prototype vehicle should actually cost below $25,000. The challenge to the
design team is to design and fabricate a prototype car that best meets these goals and intents. Each
design will be compared and judged with other competing designs to determine the best overall car.
Over the course of three days, the cars are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including:
technical 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.
page 2
Static Events
Design Report: The students explain their constructive solutions to a jury of experts from
the automotive and motorsport industries in report and discussion. The concept of the
design is to evaluate the engineering effort that went into the design of the car and how
the engineering meets the intent of the market. The car that illustrates the best use of
engineering to meet the design goals and the best understanding of the design by the team
members will win the design event.
Cost Report: The students are to assume that a serial production of 1000 cars a year will
follow the prototype. The cost calculation is discussed with a jury based on a report. The
objective of the event is for the participants to learn and understand the manufacturing
techniques and processes of some of the components that they have chosen to purchase
rather than fabricate themselves.
Presentation: The objective is to evaluate the team’s ability to develop and deliver a
comprehensive business case that will convince the executives of a fake manufacturing
firm that the team’s design best meets the demands of the amateur weekend autocross
racing market and that it can be profitably manufactured and marketed.
dynamic Events
Acceleration: The race cars are evaluated on their accelerating abilities from a standing
start over a distance of 75 meters.
Autocross: The objective is to evaluate the car’s maneuverability and handling qualities
on a tight course without the hindrance of competing cars. The course will combine the
performance features of acceleration, braking and cornering into one event. The results of
the Autocross scores determine the starting order for endurance.
Skidpad: The objective is to measure the car’s cornering ability on a flat surface while
making a constant-radius turn. The course will be a pair of concentric circles in shape of
the number 8, the cars demonstrate how good lateral forces can be absorbed (up to 1.4g).
Endurance: Over a distance of 1.1 miles the cars have to prove their durability under long-
term conditions. Acceleration, speed, handling, dynamics, fuel economy, reliability – the
cars have to prove it all.

There’s a lot you can get in a Fiesta. A class-exclusive
4" multifunctional LCD display,* standard. A PowerShift
six-speed automatic transmission.* * That’s the kind of
engineering that makes it more responsive and still keeps
it fuel-efficient.† The Fiesta also has available keyless entry,
push-button start, voice-activated SYNC®†† and even
ambient lighting. All told, that’s as much high-end technology
as many premium cars. How’s that for high tech?
IT’S A PRETTY BIG DEAL.
