History
1999
Sticking with Cornell FSAE tradition, the 1999 car boasted many innovations. Traction control, an automated shifting mechanism, extensive shock development, a very stiff and light chassis, and in-house designed brake calipers all contributed to the success of the 1999 car. The engine package included a fiberglass intake manifold that contributed to Cornell winning the Powertrain award, in addition to helping Cornell soar to victory in the acceleration event. Lack of development time after the final construction of the car made the competition very hectic for the Cornell engineers, but the team worked together and finished third overall out of over 100 teams, placing extremely well in almost every event.
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.
