The next day the car went to the Dyno and made 114hp on 100 Octane. I'm sure the team will be reading through comments so please ask questions about the car or the program.
I cannot imagine 114hp in a car that's 600lbs WITH the driver! Just insane
Just imagine that much power if the transmission was actually shiftable lol!
114 Hp with our without air restrictor?
@@matelabutyin with
@@matelabutyin likely without this is about what a well tuned 600cc sport bike would make normally
Thanks for coming out, Tom! Your feedback was very helpful and I’m glad you had fun!
you guys are awesome keep up the great work!
Dude, you’re one of my favorite RUclips channels at this point; you don’t click bait, you don’t exaggerate the thumbnail, and you aren’t fake excited. In addition to that, as I get older it becomes more and more refreshing to not feel like I’m having to watch children’s content. you seem like a really chill dude, and I hope you have a great day!
i totally agree, its so refreshing
Doin’ it right, ain’t he?
Hard agree on other shit feeling like it's aimed at kids. Really not my jam and it's so the norm
Seriously appreciate this. That sort of content sells really really well but I don't think I have it in me!
@@TedwardDrives Keep doing it man, you and TheTopher have been on my daily watch list for a fat minute, you deserve all the positivity in the world for your content man, never fails to bring some light into my day :)
Saw the title and thought we were getting Tom on a sports bike for a second
Hard same, was very surprised
after driving all 5 cars I had a part in, I got into motorcycles and now ride a CBR 954. It really is the next best thing, taking that on the backroads when you've graduated
Formula SAE was absolutely formative when I was in undergrad. Our team ran a turbocharged version of this. Although they don't make more Peak Power(because of the restrictor) it made that Peak power from 6000 to 12000 RPM. I was also the first test driver for our Aero package and the first person to pull a sustained 2G lateral turn with a headwind. That car was both terrifying in it's capabilities but perfectly well behaved. I have never and might never drive a more capable and responsive car again.
But also: no 5-second egress!? Part of the safety requirement is that each of your drivers must demonstrate a full egress from fully belted to outside the car in under 5 seconds. It's hilarious to watch.
Every driver goes through the 5-second egress before driving! Including Tom :)
@@BrownUniversityFSAE Yes! Please tell me there's video of Tom's 5s egress!?
I don't think anyone filmed it but I clocked 4.5 on the first go. I think I could do better haha
Hmmmmmm, turbo 600RR... U of M?
@@timothyer2447 nope, Cornell pre-2015. I believe they're only electric now.
For years until he passed away, Carrol Smith (and the publishers of Race Car Engineering) would do reviews of leading FSAE cars. Reviews like this carry that legacy forward. 👍👍
Now, this is something you're not gonna find anywhere else on RUclips
Gotta love how you managed to be respectful with the car whilst giving genuine and useful input, the student's reaction says it all! thanks for sharing!
Did it in college, the most fun ever!!! Never driven anything that feels close since, but even the design and building of the car was an awesome experience!! And can totally relate to the non mechanical engineering students at the end. I was a civil engineer but didnt care, I was not missing out on the opportunity to be on the team even if it didnt relate to my major. You get to travel the country to various tracks and meet a ton of other like minded students. I recommend anyone that is interested to reach out to your fsae team, sit in on a few team meetings, help out around the shop, and just get involved. It was a blast!
As a fellow civvie id look at the car chassis on some series and think hmm this is just a trussed structure.. maybe i can do that too if i can figure out the loads
Get a sport bike
guys can we all just appreciate the new camera angle? I for one enjoy seeing a view of tedward as he's driving
Thank you so much for spending time with us Tom, it was great to spend a day with you! Incredibly helpful feedback!
main character ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
kickstarted my university's baja sae club and can't be more proud that they went off to comp!
hell yeah dude!
Unfortunately my college's SAE team is electric and the people on the team aren't too great... I'm gonna try to get involved with the Baja team instead!
That's a bummer! I did Baja in college and it was pretty fun to jump those cars a few feet in the air! Testing was incredibly rewarding.
This is exactly why I am no longer involved with my SAE team at my college haha. EV simply isn't interesting.
Yeah some teams are super entitled/condescending. Turns a lot of interested people away.
Electric SAE are still amazing. They can get you a job pretty quick
My college has both and I chose the EV team because there was a lot more work that needed to be done and they had less people. Additionally, to really participate in the IC team I would have had to have a lot of prior knowledgeable and skills that I just didn't have.
Also the EV cars are faster 😉
Im on the NC State FSAE team and we just shook down our 2024 car today! FSAE is gonna be so much fun, can't wait to compete at competition!
Formula SAE was essential to how my career in the automotive industry has progressed. Students heavily involved come away with years more equivalent experience than their collegiate peers and are top hires.
Bravo!!! hats off to those guys. They are learning important life lessons besides building the car... Teamwork, collaboration, creativity and it looks like it's a lot more fun than sitting in a lecture hall. Maybe someday in the future some of them will show up as engineers for a major auto manufacturer or race team. Thanks for bringing that to us Tedward. Now I dare you to drive that on 128 and Route 2 around Boston. LOL!!
Thank you for this video! I was involved in FSAE car development during my undergrad and loved every minute of it! The program gives you so much insight on how you can develop a purpose-built kart and making friends along the way. Enjoy the drive!
Anyone younger watching this... do it. I did Mechanical engineering at Arizona State and worked on FSAE on the brake systems team and it was a blast and you learn so much. Easily the most important club I was in during my undergrad. Also you bump shoulders with Bosch, Brembo, Ford, etc. at the nationals which helps your network immensely.
So fun having you out man! Thanks again for all your feedback.
"Lasers and 'science,' if you will" - love these guys!
I was on my school's FSAE team. Sick content tedward! Driving it was the most fun I had in a vehicle. Exactly 400 pounds without driver. We were fairly low budget but had a Yamaha single cyl, four wheel pushrod suspension, a working sequental trans, and just started doing aero, making our own carbon fiber, and making effective decisions like smaller wheels (some massive change like 13" down to 10).
Was the most brilliant 3 years of my life at university. FS goes hard at europe too, fun thing as hell. I guess I am never going to drive a more capable thing in track, even though I am tracking my mx5, but these are on a compleeete other level. Love to see this content
I appreciate you making this video. As the next chief engineer for the University of Maryland FSAE team, it’s really cool to see a spotlight on this program from automotive RUclips channels. It’s such a unique program for engineering students, and it’s so cool to see every school take such a different approach to the same problem.
Cool stuff, FSAE is such a great idea to inspire and allow people to create and design race cars.
Very interesting content ! Thank you for bringing this to me in France. Those young guys are nice, and with a lot of commitment for their project.
loves the narrative and story telling in the video plus it’s a totally unique vehicle which is exciting in and of itself. 5 stars.
Thank you!
This is such an amazing and fun project. Very well done.
You know, I low-key wish my senior project could have been a race car. This is so cool. And I honestly love the way that thing sounds and, from the looks of the footage, drives, too! Hats off to these kids.
very unique interview, looking forward to it
Really like the direction you’ve taken the channel over the years, keep up the variety !
The hand clutch and high rpm straight before the turn reminds me of the years I raced dirt oval.
Man, I wish I saw one of these before I went to college. Love to see the next generations passion for making cars
Dang, wasn’t expecting to see this, I’m on my schools Baja SAE team
What a treat this was, pretty cool machine!
God damn, I'm totally jelly you got to drive one of those things. I watched these cars when FSAE came to MIS, love seeing what the kids come up with.
Cabin Crew POV??? Might be a new favorite Tedward vid, very informational and a really cool video, fantastic as always, never stop being great.
Oh man, that fuckin thing looks AWESOME!
bro im part of my colleges FSAE team and we're using a triumph triple power unit but we're barely starting to assemble the chassis so seeing these guys have it dialed in so well makes me eager but feel bad at the same time😭😭
We were usually still putting ours together while at the competition, ha ha. It’s such a lot of work getting it done in time.
I'm on SJSU's FSAE team and we used the Triumph 675 platform for 5 years, its a fantastic engine for this application
Love this video format with the camera on the dash and talking with the people working on the car! Would be cool when you do therapy drives to see the dash camera facing you more often!
I like the two-cam setup inside the car Ted, it's good to actually see you once in a while.
Absolutely awesome video. Almost got the feeling I was driving myself :)
That looked like so much fun!
I'm in my university's FSAE team, I'm still a newbie but seeing one of my favourite RUclipsrs test drive one of these cars is just so cool!
Kudos to the students! That thing looks like a blast
That engine sounds amazing. And yet, first thing I think of is that I want an engine swap to a fully unrestricted 1000cc version with the whole 200hp
Lol it does not need it. Those cars are scary over ~80mph and below that you're nearly traction limited with 100hp
FSAE was pivotal in my academic and professional career as a mechanical engineer. You truly take away so much information and more importantly experience that I would put on par with any internship. It's the whole reason I got taken on as a level 2 engineer right out of school (shout out to Kennesaw Motorsports)
Man this is some awesome stuff! Really appreciate all the perspectives from the team! It seems like different members are working on different areas of the car, so how was the integration between all of the different components handled?
THIS GOES SO HARD YESSSS
Sick!! I helped design, fabricate, and also drive the FSAE car at my school back in the day. It was so much fun. After the Michigan competition, we competed in autocross with it. If you’re a car guy/girl and in an engineering program, you absolutely have to do this.
This was such a cool video
I am by no means an engineer, just graduated with an Accounting degree, my high school buddy did this and the pictures, videos and stories I heard were super cool! Sent him this video and got a fat thumbs up…great interview and super interesting!
this is awesome, im jealous of whoever gets to drive this on track lol
I never wanted to get out haha
Great video!!
I’m on the team at MSOE and it’s been great
I wish I had done Engineering instead of IT and joined ASU’s team….hard to make a complete shift now that I have a wife, kid, mortgage etc and everything is so expensive now.
I remember seeing ASU’s SAE at an Indy Car race several years ago. They had a Logitech G29 with Project Cars loaded up for people to try.
Any chance to drive smol go kart or in this case big go kart is an immediate yes 😂
So much work to build a car like that, it’s an accomplishment just to have it drive at all, let alone drive well. Keep at it lads and ladies!
Go Bruno! I wish they had this team when I was an undergrad there
Thank you! It's been around since '93 i think!
Tedward gets to be a test driver! Nice!! The engineers were intelligent and so enthusiastic about it all. Great way to break down a lot of technical stuff. I swear this is testing car outtakes from "Grand Turismo."
This is something I wish I'd done in college, it looks like an absolute blast
Damn, that looks like a blast!
great engine choice
Awesome love the content
Lovely to see you Ted. Love from Pakistan
I did FSAE all 4 years, mainly Electrical branch, at so far its really THE engineering project.
I was always upset my FSAE team wasn't taking on people when I was studying, this looks like so so much fun
I did fsae for 5 years (super senior status- chassis lead, drivetrain sub-lead, driver). I miss it a lot, many teams run the cbr600rr engines so this was a bit nostaglic for me. If they managed to make 114hp to the wheel with the mandatory 20mm restrictor for competition, thats insane. My guess is 114 is unrestricted.
wowwwww,
definitely more of this,
They built a centrigual deaerator...nice!
it looks like that thing hauls, so fun
Going to college next year I plan to do safe and I can't wait
FSAE is so cool and part of me wishes I had heard about it before picking where I decided to go to school, because it's not an easy program to get started. Unfortunately, as is the case in a lot of motorsport, money is a HUGE deal and there are a lot of teams that never even get beyond planning because the funding just isn't there. Huge props to the teams that do get it done, though, because it doesn't matter how much money you have, you won't get anywhere if you can't engineer a good race car. These guys are the names that we'll see on the engineering rosters of professional racing teams one day.
What a great video! I've driven for my school in the past and now my senior capstone project will be FSAE! Welcome to the FSAE driver's club :)
Were you surprised by the physicality required to drive it?
I’ve driven some silly stuff on tracks and auto cross so it was what I expected physically. But it’s just the most fun you can have
This is so cool that i just found ur channel after looking for a video of the the Lotus Exige because that's the same exact car i was playing as in the game need for speed heat recently and i found ur video on it and i was surprised to learn that ur from waltham and im also from the boston area too btw i was wondering if you've ever done a driving tour where people can ride along while u drive a fast car or do u know if there are places near u that do something similar to that? Cuz i would love to ride in a cool sports car for the experience
Not attending the FSAE team due to my own introvert personality and (back then) lack of familiarity with the language was the SINGLE BIGGEST regret I have to this day, and will probably follow me forever.
FSAE cars are soo much fun to drive!
This thing looks so sick! Definitely looking to see how our car this year can be improved and might use some ideas from this team lol.... -Team Captain of Formula Kentucky
that was awesome. very very cool
This is so freaking sickkkk!!!
Best years of my life. It was much better than it is to work in the automotive industry. The freedom you have to make decisions and develop... It is underrated how much fun it is
I am a Swedish FS engineer, although my team competes in the EV class, so cool to see this on the channel.
SAE Baja Car next please!!!!! This was so cool 😮
Holy crap! Cabin crew
That's soo cool!
Very cool!
Nearly 40 years old and all I can think is it’s time to go back to school!
These boys definitely will use this video at design comp 😂
Watch out for Claude!
What did they do for a diff setup ? Curious if they added a reverse as well ?
God, this is possibly the closest i’ll get to watching tedward do a POV ride video on a motorbike 😩
wow that was such a cool little vehicle. i want one to identify as a go kart to zoom through in my neighborhood! love this thing.
this is epic
i had a 2023 cbr600rr for a season then it was stolen. That engine is a masterpiece
You should check out BAJA SAE too, I know your content is not about rallying but the BAJA SAE student projects are really fun too!
I did Baja in college!
Things like this make me wish i had more motivation in school.
It’s tough to add more to a demanding course load
Whereabouts in MA are you located?
Would a torque-vectoring steer-by-wire AWD hybrid be legal as of FSAE rules?
This looks like an absolute riot, I wish I had a mind for engineering! I'm wondering, for the students: what's "that one thing" (beyond a bigger engine) that'd make the car faster, but it's *just* outside the regulations for FSAE?
For our team, it was honestly properly trained drivers by a massive margin, but from a technical perspective, likely looser Aero restrictions to get even bigger wings or the kind of vacuum cars that some other team recently made news with for under 1s 0-60. Pretty sure that isn't legal in FSAE.
Powered ground effect would be pretty sweet! Some other things that come to mind are removing the intake restrictor and having tire warmers. Other than that, weight also has a big impact on performance.
This is sick and these kids are badass... goddamn I'm old.
I’ll be joining UMass Lowell’s team next year!
I know those guys! They're doing some cool stuff up there
I wanted that 2nd gear shift so bad lol
What’s wild is this is 3rd gear! Short ratios. But yeah they weren’t ready for the shift testing just yet
Nah this is actually insane
man I was part of a FSAE program before i dropped out, but we had a single thumper instead 😅
