Team Profile:
The ISAT Formula Team was created 10 years ago by students at ISAT. This school is the only public school specialized in automotive and transports in France. The Formula Student project is part of our curriculum in third year. We have one day per week dedicated to Formula Student.
This year our main objective is mass reduction, that is why we changed our 13 inch wheels by 10 inch wheels to gain almost 10kg. It was also an opportunity to modify the suspension geometry to correct last year defaults. Moreover we worked on fuel consumption thanks to the tests we held on our engine test bench. The Bosch motorsport products we use to manage our engine allows us a large potential of development to help us in this tasks.
We thank Texense for their support in the project. Their advice were very beneficial to prepare our first tests before the competition. See you on the track!
Additional Information
The manufacturing of certain parts was done in collaboration with a vocational high school. This project was an opportunity to gather students from university and high school, to give them an other view of higher education.
