Summary
In this book, the reader learns the essential differences to the passenger car through the analysis divided according to assemblies. This gives him the tools to apply the detailed knowledge acquired to the design and development of competition vehicles. In the case of internal combustion engines, the focus is on performance-enhancing measures for racing vehicles. From the choice of the number of cylinders to the intake system to the exhaust system, the lever can be applied to every assembly. For electric drives, the traction battery, cell selection, cooling and operating strategy are considered in more detail. Energy recovery systems are an interesting enhancement for hybrid vehicles and all-electric powertrains, especially in strategic considerations for racing. Finally, gearboxes are needed independently of the drive source, albeit matched to it, so that the full potential can be exploited. The detailed, in-depth presentation makes this work just as suitable for the interested motorsport enthusiast as it is for the engineer in the field who is addressing the issues surrounding race car powertrains. The formula material is prepared in such a way that the book can also be used as a reference work. The content Combustion engines.- Electric drives.- Hybrid drives.- Powertrain design.- Power transmission.- Fuel system.- Electrics.- Electronic driving aids.- Comparison series-racing.- Glossary. The target group Students participating in Formula Student competitions - Designers, race engineers and private drivers who want to understand and improve their vehicle - Interested laymen who want to gain a deeper understanding of the race car system based on their knowledge of the car. The author FH-Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Michael Trzesniowski has gained over 30 years of practical experience with manufacturers and developers as a design engineer in the automotive sector. He taught at the FH Joanneum in Graz at the study course Vehicle Technology - Automotive Engineering with industrial projects, cooperations and student research projects with racing teams. He is the founder and supervisor of a successful, innovative team in the Formula Student racing series.Currently he works for a racing system supplier. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
