For monocoque vehicles, the approach is to consider 189。With proper triangulation, it is permissible to fabricate the side impact structural members from more than one piece of tubing39。d like to clarify whether or not that will be a requirement for Formula SAE as well, as it would represent a fairly large expenditure to procure the restraints, new seat belts etc ? CAMS show same as prior years that Frontal Head restraint is “B” for Speed Events which is remended but not required. FSAE 2020 Rules are as in previous years and do not require it, nor remend it. ? It has not been proposed at all for Formula even in future years. I think our event speeds and circumstances minimise any need. ? We also require arm restraints of course which are not mentioned at all in the CAMS requirements. ? I think our position should/would thus be that our required equipment standards stay as in prior years and we do not require (or remend) such devices. Question Answer 3/2020 ? Each attachment point requires a minimum of two (2) 8 mm Metric Grade (5/16 inch SAE Grade 5) bolts ? Does this rule only refer to attaching primary structures to the monocoque (. the rear sub frame) or does it include wishbone pickups and suspension mounting points? ? The rules specifically relates to the attachment of other parts of the Primary Structure to a monocoque shell. Other attachment points are not required to conform to this mounting design but should be designed to meet the anticipated loads and strength of the monocoque and installed using sound engineering practice. Question Answer 4/2020 ? Brake Pedal must be fabricated from steel or aluminium or machined from steel, aluminium or titanium ? Specifically, we are asking as to whether the brake pedal can be 3D printed by titanium (Arcam titanium 64) and then postmachined. In the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) process, dense metal ponents are built up, layerbylayer of metal powder and melted by a powerful electron beam. Each layer is melted to the exact geometry defined by a CAD model. ? The rules specifically only allow pedals fabricated from Aluminium or Steel, with Titanium accepted only if machined from solid stock. Your deposited design is thus not acceptable. Question Answer 5/2020 ? When viewed from the front of the vehicle, the part of the front wheels/tires that are more than 250 mm ( inches) above ground level must be unobstructed by any part of the aerodynamic device, with the exception of any vertical surfaces (end plates) less than 25 mm in thickness. ? What is acceptable as an endplate in the region of the tyre from the top to a plane running 250mm from the top surface? Please see pictures below ? The intent of the rule is to not allow a greater than 25 mm lateral width of vision obscuration in front of the tyre. Your first design would appear to significantly exceed this whereas the second design is in line with the intent of the rule for a simple flat endplate running parallel to the vehicle centreline, provided the maximum thickness at any point does not block more than 25 mm width of the tyre. Question Answer 7/2020 ? The driver and anyone standing outside the car must be shielded from any hydraulic pumps and lines ? If the body of the chassis (carbon skins with nomex core) separates the line and driver, would this still require an additional 1mm metal shield? ? Prov
