UTA's 7th Formula
SAE Champion
The #95's inboard suspension featured dual
shocks in front and rear and sway bars that were in pure torsion.
All suspension and performance adjustments were simple and
quick. The powertrain used a smaller displacement (400cc)
engine than most of the competition; however, a better matched
induction system and advancements in engine management permitted
it to outperform the entire field in combined power and economy.
The induction system utilized a turbocharger, a student-built
multi-staged five-injector fuel delivery system, and used
M-85 fuel. Other traditional features of the #95 included
a hand formed kevlar-composite seat, the UTA designed sequential
Butterfly Shifter and clutch mechanism, and carbon composite
wheels. The #95 car was UTA's seventh Formula SAE Champion.
An innovative suspension and advancements in the powertrain
and engine-management lent to the #95's incredible performance.
