Last year the De Nayer Racing Team was the first Belgian team ever to compete in the Formula Student event at Silverstone in Class 2. This year, the team will try to repeat the good result of last year in Class 1.
As the team consists of both Engineering and Bachelor students, a mixture of theoretical knowledge and practical skills is achieved. The car is built around a lightweight aluminium spaceframe to minimise fuel consumption, and runs on bio-ethanol E85. The engine is a four-stroke engine from a Honda CBR 600RR, and operates with a self-designed intake and exhaust system. The power generated by the engine is transferred to the rear wheels by a Drexler differential and a single-chain transmission. The steering wheel of the car is designed to co-operate with the Main Control Unit to ensure that the driver can access critical information via the display. To further decrease the weight, the suspension is primarily constructed out of carbon fibre and aluminium, while the body is mainly manufactured from glass fibre.
The goal of the team is to get the best possible result in both dynamic and static events, to pave the way for future teams of Lessius Mechelen.
