It is now the fifth year that LURacing participates in the FS competition, and this year we consist of about 50 highly-driven students. The car of this year consists of a full carbon fibre monocoque, which is powered by a Honda CBR600 engine. The goal this year has been to build a car optimised for acceleration and stability which has moved us further towards materials such as carbon fibre and titanium. Parallel with a motor well tuned to find the best power-fuel ratio, we have developed a control system which not only updates the driver with important information about the car’s driving dynamics, but also is built with reliability in focus.
