Formula FSAE car design
A complete Formula SAE vehicle taken from concept to simulation — eight sub-systems, solo, in full compliance with the competition rules.
Illustrative reference — the design work is CAD models and FEA/CFD analysis.

The problem
Design a competition-ready Formula SAE car from scratch, meeting the full FSAE rulebook — as an independent solo project, with limited funding that ruled out physical fabrication.
The approach
Worked through eight sub-systems as independent modules — FSAE-rules compliance, chassis, crash analysis, aerodynamics, suspension, powertrain, braking and steering — modelling each in SolidWorks and validating structure, safety and flow with FEA and CFD rather than physical prototypes.
The result
A complete engineering design record for a competition-ready vehicle: every major system modelled, analysed and regulation-checked in simulation with professional rigour. Fabrication is the next step once funded.
