DESIGN & MANUFACTURING OF FORMULA 9 CAR

Abstract

There are many motor sports in the world. Bikes, Cars, Formula one are examples of them. The drivers in these
fields are very professionals attitudes and capable of accurate driving. They can drive it very fast. But there are also
automobile sports which for newest drivers need professional experience as drivers and need to drive great speed. The
vehicles used are also very cheap. Such a motor sport is Go-Karting. They resemble to the formula cars but it is not as fast as
F1 and also cost is very low. The drivers in go-karting are also not professionals. Even children can also drive it. Go-karts
have 4 wheels and a small engine. They are widely used in racing in United State and also they are getting popular
worldwide in India. Our primary objective is to design a safe and functional vehicle based on a rigid and torsion-free frame,
well mounted power train and to understand the finer aspects of vehicle design with motive of fabricating prototype vehicle
that could be manufactured while strictly adhering to the competition rules. The secondary objective is to enhance driver’s
comfort and safety, and to increase the performance and manoeuvrability of the vehicle. To achieve our goal the team has
been divided into core groups of major subsystem like steering, braking, engine and power train, frame design and
ergonomics which were later integrated into our final design.
This paper content on explaining the design aspects and engineering aspects of making a Go Kart vehicle .This report
explains objectives, assumptions and calculations made in designing a Go Kart vehicle. The design is such that the Kart is
easy to fabricate in every possible aspect.
