History
1994
1994 was a year of transition as the team experimented with a broader use of composites. The proven tube frame was restructured to incorporate two composite side pods. Made out of foam, Kevlar, and carbon fiber, these D-tubes provided structural support and stiffness, while offering the driver added side impact protection. Composites were also used in the design and manufacture of an intake manifold that increased the engine's performance by 4 bhp. Due to a restricted budget, many parts had to be scavenged from the 1993 car. Cornell maintained its excellence as one of the best cars in the FSAE competition, taking third place overall.
The Story
Cornell’s FSAE Racing Team was established in 1986. Professor Albert R. George became the faculty advisor overseeing approximately a dozen mechanical engineering students who began researching and designing a racecar from scratch. Since then, the team has grown substantially and has been greatly diversified. Today, an average Cornell FSAE team is compromised of about 40 undergraduate and graduate students and has had participating members from nearly every school within Cornell. Below you will find the 21 year evolution of Cornell Racing. The team’s dedication, commitment, and tireless effort will help to continue Cornell’s winning tradition well into the future.
