UniBo Motorsport is the Formula SAE team of the University of Bologna. The most ancient university in the world has got a really recent racing team.
In fact the team was born at the end of 2008 and the first car started up two years later. UniBo Motorsport is composed of five groups: engine, vehicle, electronic, communication and static events and drivers. The main objectives for 2011 season are: testing the 2010 car, improve engine control and realise an electric-actuated gearbox.
The point of strength of the car is absolutely the engine: from the original 108 hp we managed to obtain 92 hp. We are perfectly conscious that power itself is not sufficient to get a winning engine performance so we have invested more and more in engine control, certainly our speciality. Since 2010, we have a completely self-programmed ECU (based on a general purpose hardware from National Instruments) with different maps for each cylinder and specific maps for each dynamic event.
