Tecnun Motorsport will be racing in the Formula Student 2011 competition with its new highly improved race car. The FSTEC’11 is the result of the ambition and hard effort of the group of 30 Engineering students from Tecnun University of Navarra.
With the experience acquired through the previous season, we have chosen to develop a single seater based on reliability and user friendliness. The FSTEC’11 will see its weight reduced thanks to the use of composite materials in the new pull rod suspension and the bodywork, the new improved frame design and design refinement.
The Suzuki GSXR-600 engine has been tuned in order to improve the power output and the fuel consumption together with a revised version of the intake system. Moreover, in order to know more about our car, the FSTEC’11 will be using in-house designed data acquisition systems to be used during testing prior to our debut at Silverstone – something made possible due to the early finishing of the car.
