University Of Sydney Formula SAE Racecar Launch - 0-100 km/h in 3.67 seconds
On a recent Friday we spent a very pleasant evening at the official launch of the University of Sydney's 2009 Formula SAE racecar.
The Formula SAE team is part of the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering at the University of Sydney and is one of Australia's premier Engineering schools.
The launch was held at the Old Darlington School, in the Engineering Precinct of the University of Sydney. It's a picturesque part of the University, and though we were among the last to leave at the end of the event, pleasantly parking inspectors are scared to clamp cars for overstaying on parking meters near the engineering department (hint: a plasma cutter always beats a parking clamp).
The Works Bell Paddle Shifter NEO Universal, Works Bell Rapfix Racing Quick Release and Momo Steering Wheel in the University of Sydney's 2009 Formula SAE Racecar
We were very impressed with the knowledge, dedication and enthusiasm of the team, so we organised sponsorship of the team by Works Bell, who provided a Works Bell Paddle Shifter NEO Universal and Works Bell Rapfix Racing Quick Release to the team for their new 2009 racecar.
The 2009 car is powered by an Aprilia motorcyle engine, and one of the students developed a highly innovative sequential shifting system to handle the gearshifts, via the Works Bell Paddle Shifter NEO Universal.
With a power rating of 45kW (60.3 hp) but a weight of just 193 kg, the car has a power to weight ratio of 3.2 kg per hp, and a 0-100 km/h time of just 3.67 seconds.
