Cal Poly Pomona Formula SAE is a student-run team competing in Formula SAE.
To reach the winning positions in thedesign and development categories as well as in the actual races, the teams are always looking to apply new materials and technologies to further improve their race cars. But new materials such as composites also create new requirements and thus new design and development challenges. With the ultimate goal in mind to profit from all the advantages each material offers, i. e. regarding the material’s lightweight design or stiffness potential, each material must be designed individually.
