Required Chassis
To ensure the safety of the driver, all FS teams are required to use a basic chassis design as the starting point of their design. This ensures that all roll-bars, frame-rails and bracing is in the appropriate placement. All teams must build this basic structure, with all frame members present, to a tolerance of +/- 1” of stated location.
We currently have two styles of FS USA vehicles for teams to create. Our open wheel and our full bodied prototype, modeled after Dennis Palatov's original DP-1.
Which one should a team build? Depends on budget and build area. The open wheel design is easier to move around, lighter, and a less expensive.
The prototype design allows more room for engine mods, driver area, and tad wider, but it's more expensive due to a larger body and more steel required to build the chassis.
Teams interested in obtaining the 3D CAD file must contact Formula Student through the contact page. Files will only be shared with school advisors.
