GR.1.4 Vehicle Design Objectives

GR.1.4.1 Teams are to assume that they work for an engineering firm that is designing, fabricating, testing and demonstrating a prototype vehicle.

GR.1.4.2 The vehicle should have high performance and be sufficiently durable to successfully complete all the events at the Formula SAE competitions.

GR.1.4.3 Additional design factors include: aesthetics, cost, ergonomics, maintainability, and manufacturability.

GR.1.4.4 Each design will be judged and evaluated against other competing designs in a series of Static and Dynamic events to determine the vehicle that best meets the design goals and may be profitably built and marketed.
