The Formula UBC team has departed for Lincoln, Nebraska, to represent UBC in the International Formula SAE Competition. The competition comprises a series of dynamic challenges to test the car’s ability to accelerate and maneuver, and static challenges where marketing, budget, and engineering design are critiqued by engineer judges.
The team completed the car on schedule with adequate time for testing and modifications, bringing down the 4 year build cycle of previous Formula UBC cars, to one year.
“This may potentially be the best car FUBC has ever produced,” a veteran team leader said, noting the workspace and monetary contribution of the Department and the incredible number of volunteer hours committed to the construction of the car enthusiastic team members, often late into the night and on weekends.
