Formula SAE is a collegiate design series that allows college students an opportunity to design, build, and race a formula-style racecar against other college students from more than 500 colleges and universities worldwide.
Each team must build a new car every year from the ground up. With the exception of safety regulations placed on the engine and frame of the car, the series rules are open, allowing students to show their creativity through the design of the car.
Auburn 2006 Car Specs
- 600cc Motorcycle Engine (2004 F4i)
- 6 speed sequential gearbox with electro-pneumatic shifting allowing full throttle clutchless upshifts in ~100ms
- Koni 2812 professional dampers with custom valving
- Titanium springs
- Prototype Michelin radial tires
- Suspension kinematics chosen based on available tire data
- Highly adjustable suspension allowing fast ride height, anti roll bar, castor, camber, toe, and ackerman adjustments.

- Front and rear infinitely adjustable anti roll bars require only one 5/16" allen for adjustment
- Three piece wheels using custom 7075 aluminum wheel centers and Weld midget wheel halves
- Braking system sized with hydraulic and thermal loading computer simulations to maximize effectiveness and minimize weight
- Brembo calipers and vertically arranged master cylinders with dry break fittings for easy pedal base removal
- Custom Salisbury type limited slip differential utilizing ATV internals with torque bias ratio in excess of 4:1
- STM Slipper clutch
- Dry sump with scavenge pumps packaged inside pan and driven by a spur gear to allow easy pan removal
- Intake and Exhaust lengths chosen with Ricardo Wave simulation to yield maximun area under torque curve
- 6AL-4V titanium exhaust and collector
