2017
Info
The UWashington Formula Motorsports team has prepared our most advanced and high quality car yet for FSG 2017. The car features new sidewings and a larger undertray for more downforce with no added weight, a stiffer and lighter suspension system, and utilized new technologies like soluble carbon molds and topology optimization programs. We would like to thank our families, sponsors, and Harambe for enabling us to continue competing internationally!

2013
Info
With an iterative car for 2013, the UWashington Formula Motorsports team is excited to show off our best car yet. Building off of 24 years of innovation, our car runs a single-cylinder motor, and has a carbon fiber chassis, integrated CV/hubs, a full aero package, pneumatic paddle shifting, and a tightly-packaged drivetrain. Relying heavily on physical testing to validate analysis, a great deal of care and attention to detail went into every part on the car. With one of the earliest assembly completions in recent team history, ample time has been spent testing and tuning the car for ultimate speed, reliability, and overall success. This is the team's second time attending Formula Student Germany.
