1.1 Introduction
For 2008 a new class was introduced for Formula Student. Formula Student is a competition between various universities around the UK and around the globe, organised by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). It allows students to design and build single seater formula styled cars in accordance to rules and guidelines set by the IMechE.
Some universities carry the development of a car over
