> The Car

The Rutgers Formula Racing car is an open wheel open cockpit style racer. They are designed by following the formula of the FSAE competition, and the imaginations and ingenuity of the engineers of the team. The end product is a high performance autocross racecar that is both very fast and very agile.

The car is about 8 feet in length by 5 feet in width. They top out at about 110~120 miles per hour and can do 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds. For the last couple of years the team has fallen in favor of using a Yamaha R6 powerplant from the years of 1999 to 2002, and due to the restrictor, output of our engine is limited to 85hp.

A recent development for the team is a comprehensive aerodynamic package consisting of and front and back triple element wing. Currently in the pipeline, more research and development is being done to incorporate and underbody for ground effect to increase downforce even more. Thus resulting in faster cornering speeds and lower times on the track.

More information is soon to follow
