Team historyThe ETS team was founded in 1988 and started to compete in 1989. All cars are mostly designed, fabricated and tested in-house by the students. Before 2004, all cars had the similar architecture: a steel tubular frame and a 4-cylinder engine. In 2004, the team introduced their first carbon fiber monocoque, formed with tooling and processes developed in-house. The car had a 4-cylinder engine and weighted around 220 kilograms. In 2005, the team focused on reducing the weight of the car, switching to a single cylinder engine, ten inch wheels and designing a lighter monocoque. Since 2007, the cars have a hybrid frame combining a front monocoque with a tubular steel engine compartment, ten-inch wheels, inboard dampers and a single cylinder Yamaha engine.
Design criteriaBefore designing this year’s racecar, we first took a closer look to last year’s car to highlight its strengths and weaknesses. We partially based our design criteria on the improvements we wished to do for the next car.
Last year’s car had poor fuel economy, an unreliable shifting mechanism, malfunctioning critical engine sensors (TPS & cam angle sensor), custom fabricated components failures and a lack of simulation in the design process.
