The competition challenges students from around the world to engineer the best performing electric formula race car.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis was Formula SAE Electric\u2019s most competitive year yet, with 58 collegiate teams. HyTech\u2019s 386-pound vehicle bested teams from other world-renowned engineering universities including McGill University, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pennsylvania.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cBuilding a fast car requires a tremendous amount of innovation,\u201d said Brendan Bassett, HyTech Racing president. \u201cMembers actively participated in all parts of car construction, including experimental circuitries, material characterization, and computational fluid dynamics.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFormula SAE Electric competitions are not just car races. They involve a lengthy review process to ensure complete safety and compliance. Each team competes in two different types of events, static and dynamic. In static events, teams defend their vehicle costs, compete in supply chain and business case scenarios, and present and defend their designs to industry leaders. After passing all static events, team vehicles compete in the dynamic portion of the race. Cars compete for the fastest time on straight-line acceleration, skidpad, autocross (single lap), and endurance lap (22-lap) events.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis season, HyTech took on both ambitious design targets and an aggressive project schedule. Students from different disciplines cooperated to find creative solutions on a tight timeline.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u201cOur members put in countless long nights debugging and interfacing the vehicle\u2019s subsystems in the Student Competition Center and at the MRDC parking lot,\u201d said Bassett. \u201cIn the end, the team was able to produce a fundamentally competitive vehicle that delivered winning track times consistently.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ENext year, with the ever-evolving level of competition, the team will pivot to a four-wheel hub motor powertrain architecture, said David Knight, incoming chief engineer for the 2022-23 academic year. \u201cThis quantum leap in design complexity is necessary in order to unlock the full performance envelope of an electric race car.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELearn more about HyTech Racing at \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/hytechracing.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003Ehytechracing.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EHyTech Racing, Georgia Tech\u2019s student-led electric racing team, placed third overall at the Formula SAE Electric Competition hosted at Michigan International Speedway earlier this summer.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"HyTech Racing, Georgia Tech\u2019s student-led electric racing team, placed third overall at the Formula SAE Electric Competition hosted at Michigan International Speedway."}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2022-07-28 13:44:21","changed_gmt":"2023-10-10 18:18:34","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2022-07-28T00:00:00-04:00","iso_date":"2022-07-28T00:00:00-04:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"659702":{"id":"659702","type":"image","title":"HyTech Racing 2022","body":null,"created":"1658944009","gmt_created":"2022-07-27 17:46:49","changed":"1658944009","gmt_changed":"2022-07-27 17:46:49","alt":"HyTech Racing 2022","file":{"fid":"250054","name":"hytech3.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hytech3.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hytech3.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":187363,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/hytech3.jpg?itok=ZoHbjn32"}},"659700":{"id":"659700","type":"image","title":"HyTech Racing 2022","body":null,"created":"1658943963","gmt_created":"2022-07-27 17:46:03","changed":"1658943963","gmt_changed":"2022-07-27 17:46:03","alt":"HyTech Racing 2022","file":{"fid":"250052","name":"hytech1.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hytech1.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/hytech1.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":226662,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/hytech1.jpg?itok=oIvUAPwd"}},"659701":{"id":"659701","type":"image","title":"HyTech Racing 2022","body":null,"created":"1658943988","gmt_created":"2022-07-27 17:46:28","changed":"1658943988","gmt_changed":"2022-07-27 17:46:28","alt":"HyTech Racing 2022.
