Formula UCLan 1A is a small team studying in their 3rd year of Motorsports Engineering and Motorsports Operations degrees at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston. Formula Student forms a large part of a teaching module at the university and sees 6 members designing, manufacturing and testing their vehicle in a 9 month period alongside the rest of their studies. Due to alterations to the FSAE Rules regarding teams this year, Formula UCLan 1A is using 2010’s Class 1 chassis. The car however has had many alterations including fully revamped suspension and brakes as well as a drastically improved chassis. This year the team is using an outboard front and inboard rear set-up. This year’s entry in Class 1A is a car designed through intelligent selection of materials to produce lightweight and sustainable components. The car is intended to build on the previous year’s success in the sustainability event whilst retaining our side-engine layout common to Formula UCLan’s cars. There has been a large emphasis on substituting environmentally advantageous materials for those usually associated with motorsport, including the use of pre-preg cotton and bio resin as an alternative to carbon fibre and epoxy resin.
