Validation of Formula Student Race Car Simulation Environment and Parameter Sensitivity to Race Results
Formula Student is a competition series for university teams who build their own formula style race cars according to Formula SAE rules. Teams who participate in this event have to design and build a car, and they also have to create the financial background to build the car and get to the competition. Thus, Formula Student is a project management competition too. From a project management point of view, both financial and human resources are limited. Therefore, every Formula Student team has to decide which parameters should they focus on, and which parameters are less important during the design phase of their race car. To make this decision easier, teams should do a parameter sensitivity analysis to know which parameter has the most effect on the results. For helping the above, this paper introduces a process about how a team can make a valid model of an electric FS race car and how to calculate the effect of different parameters on the amount of points to be earned. It is also shown, how they can decide which parameters of the car are important and which ones have less effect on the car’s performance.
