Western Formula Racing

A multi-element package of nosecone, front wing, side wings, rear wing and diffuser, built in-house with carbon fibre/glass composites and Rohacell foam core internal structures.

420V battery with five modules equipped with custom printed circuit boards enclosed in a composites case.

Focused on precision and reliability, all components selected to ensure reliable stopping power and optimal driver control.

Budgeting, sponsorship, marketing, cost reports and project management, driven by Engineering and Ivey Business students working side by side.

A full carbon fibre monocoque with a planar design, infused and cured in a single stage.

One shared coolant loop keeps the motor and inverter inside their temperature limits over a full endurance run.

Data Acquisition works with every technical subsystem to collect, store and analyse vehicle data.

A single Emrax 228 MV motor and a Cascadia Motion CM200DZ inverter drive the rear wheels through the team's custom double-reduction gearbox and a Drexler limited slip differential.

The driver interface: the carbon seat, padding, headrest and cockpit layout.

GLV includes the vehicle's control unit, data acquisition system and power distribution module, seamlessly connected through our custom wire harness.

Steering turns the driver's input into wheel angle and carries feel back to the driver.

Controls the race car's motion to maximize tire grip and achieve the fastest lap times possible.

Vehicle is the team's whole-car group: it links competition points targets to lap-time simulation and sets the performance targets each subsystem designs to.
