Delta is Back!

7

After two and a half quarters of steady progress with Delta, the team finally got her running again. The last several weeks have been spent repairing a few suspension components that were damaged in a crash last year. Although the team was shorthanded, they still pulled it together with plenty of time left for testing and tuning before the car competes in the 2016 UCI Energy Invitational which will be held on May 21. In addition to competing in this event, Delta will be used as a driver training car for team members who will be behind the wheel of our Formula SAE car during its competition in Lincoln. More information about the Energy Invitational will be posted soon so be sure to stay updated by following us on  Facebook and Instagram!.

This Saturday, April 23, 2016, at 12:00 PM, Anteater Racing will be unveiling the 2016 SAE fleet including Raider, Savage, and Electra at 12:00 PM at parking lot 16H on the UC Irvine campus. The unveiling will be followed by a free lunch along with a meet and greet session with the engineering students who designed and fabricated the cars. It will be a fun event with great people and great cars so come out and join us this Saturday.

Let the Countdown Begin!

Savage should be running by this weekend! As the days wind down and the dust settles on our determined Formula team, a race car is beginning to take shape. With the chassis completely finished, all of the team’s focus is being directed to getting the body, suspension, and powertrain completed to get the car ready for its unveiling this Saturday. More importantly, the team wants to get Savage running to get the car on the test track as soon as possible. The competition is 54 days away and the more time the team has to test the car’s limits, the more prepared they will be when they show up to compete in Lincoln.

Electra is Coming Together

After several weeks of hard work getting the chassis fabricated, the Electra team has started cutting and shaping aluminum sheet metal for their car’s body. Each panel is being rolled on our English wheel and once all of the panels meet the team’s body design specifications, the panels will be riveted together. In the meantime, the rest of the team is making progress on other critical components of the car. The suspension is nearly complete with the spindles, tie rods, and hub adapters all ready to be installed. The drivetrain is on the home stretch with only the chain needing to be installed. Manufacturing and assembly of battery and control systems are still in the works and will all start coming together in the near future.
