Info
The focus of the Formula Buckeyes 2014 design was weight reduction and lowered CG height. To achieve this, the team has developed 10”, 3 piece carbon fiber wheels to replace the current 13” wheels. This combined with the switch to a Drexler differential and a redesigned two piece monocoque chassis a weight reduction of over 30 kg has been achieved. In addition their new dry sump oil system has allowed the engine to be lowered over 60 mm, helping to lower the overall CG height 27 mm.
Engineering Design Priorities:
weight reduction
carbon fiber wheels
monocoque
dry sump
engine
height

Info
This year is The Ohio State University’s first year competing at Formula Student Germany! After a one-year hiatus, we have successfully completed a ground up redesign with a new focus on serviceability, driver comfort, and performance. “Dirty Thirty” is a two-part carbon fiber monocoque, separated by just 12 bolts, providing easy serviceability. For driver comfort, a multifunction steering wheel with variable position clutch paddles, electronic flat foot shift paddles, and a full color LCD display with driver selectable outputs has been integrated. Further driver-centric features include launch and traction control, remote brake bias control, as well as a 3 stage LED shift indicator. The car also includes countless performance attributes such as custom metal matrix composite brakes, lightweight titanium uprights, carbon fiber control arms and a custom 3-speed gearbox. The Formula Buckeyes are exited to compete this year and wish all of the competing teams good luck!
