The 2011 Queen’s University team consists of 4 fourth year students and 11 third year students. This is the smallest team that the university has had and with this in mind the organisation of the team was highly important. With the addition of a very successful carbon fibre monocoque chassis in 2010, the team decided to focus on the dated rear chassis. In addition to this, it was decided that a new carbon fibre centre fed intake system would be manufactured based on data collected to suggest that the current intake was not performing as required. Fuel consumption in the 2010 competition raised a concern within the team. This lead to a comprehensive research project on all areas of fuel saving. Another addition to the car this year is a pneumatic gear actuation system. The design of all components for the new car was completed prior to Christmas to allow sufficient time for manufacture within the university. Testing on the 2010 car has been ongoing to improve set-up and handling. Alongside this, dynamometer testing has been performed throughout the year to optimise the performance of the Yamaha R6 engine.
