UWA
Motorsport has a very prestigious history in Formula SAE. Founded in 2000, the
team first entered the FSAE-Australasian competition in 2001 with a very simple
space-frame chassis and 4 cylinder Honda engine. In 2002 the team achieved a
2nd place finish in their second competition. In 2003, the team built their
first carbon chassis driver bay with space-frame rear bay. The team which built
the 2003 car was also the first team to travel to the FSAE international
competition, winning the prestigious Carroll Smith Design Award for
design.
It’s
all about controlled aggression. You need to hustle the car along, but not to
the point where you lose all the smoothness and start making the run messy.
Minimal steering inputs are what you are looking for. Every venue is different:
some reward a more aggressive approach. Its all precision: the more time you
can spend on full throttle is always going to help. If you are not trying to
deal with a slide you have created you will go faster!
