The 2010 Formula Hardrocker Racing Critical Design Review will be December 2nd, 2010, in CB204W. Please come view the amazing improvements we have in store for this year's car!

Some of the major improvements for this year include:

  • Complete analysis regarding restrictor and plenum design
  • Improved suspension system with innovative new stabilizer bar design and better shock placement
  • Redesigned brake system to include outboard rear brakes
  • Newly designed centerlock system used to retain wheels and rotating components
  • Uprights redesigned to house larger bearings and upgraded braking system - all four corners now using titanium laser deposition
  • Overall un-sprung weight decrease over last year
  • Frame improved over last year's car along with more thorough testing and changed to better meet new FSAE rules
  • Aero package to include a Midwing this year
There are many other small changes being made to the car leading to large improvements on the track. The team is beyond excited to start production this year. Manufacturing will begin December 3rd!
